Overview
University of Wisconsin - Madison is a large university, rich with resources for Innovation and Entrepreneurship. As University Innovation Fellows, we have noticed a few gaps on campus that we are excited to address through the following three strategic priorities:
- Strategic Priority 1: Creating valuable mentorship opportunities.
- Strategic Priority 2: Promoting cross-disciplinary networks among students, faculty, and staff.
- Strategic Priority 3: Providing students the opportunity to see how and why innovation and entrepreneurship are important in their fields.
