Changes

By collaborating with Ben Franklin Technology Partners, Penn State's Innovation Park, Penn State Business Development Center, Center Region Entrepreneur Network (CREN), Nittany Entrepreneurs and various other Penn State organization and university programs, Penn State is attempting to decrease the gap between university and State College local entrepreneurs. In 2013, there will be the first 'career fair' for local businesses to help students and entrepreneurs reach other. The UIF fellow at Penn State is also helping make a database and transfer platform for entrepreneurs, alumni, and past and current students. This should help regional and economical development. The goal for State College is to bring State College industry revenue to $3 Billion by 2033.

I would rate Penn State a 7 out of 10 for entrepreneurship activities. Though there has been some great progress made in entrepreneurship at Penn State in the last few years, Penn State still has a long way to go. Penn State requires better design labs and innovation work spaces on campus. As a university as a whole, Penn State needs to push entrepreneurship instead of just pushing working in industries. Penn State has room to grow in entrepreneurship.

Note: The Pennsylvania State University (Penn State) consists of 24 campuses. Each campus promotes entrepreneurship in it's own way. For consistency, only Penn State's University Park campus information has been consolidated.
