Changes

<span style="font-family:trebuchet ms,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:small;">Faculty leadership in entrepreneurship is as important as student involvement. All JPEC faculty have great experience in entrepreneurship and some are still running their own entrepreneurial ventures. In order to continue to improve the effectiveness of the current certificate program, they already started restructuring the program.&nbsp;<span style="vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Also, many faculty in each of the colleges on The University of Iowa campus are doing some sort of research or collaboration effort towards innovation. For example,</span>[http://old.iihr.uiowa.edu/people/details.php?id=313 <span style="color: rgb(34, 34, 34); vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Radoslaw "Radek" Goska</span>]<span style="vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">, who works in Hydroscience and Engineering, won the Staff Research Award for the College of Engineering and the University of Iowa faculty, as a whole, was recognized by The Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching for the first time. A new generation of innovation and creativity is stemming from the faculty at The University of Iowa.</span></span></span>

<span style="font-size:small;"><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms,helvetica,sans-serif;">In order to push entrepreneurship at University of Iowa to the deeper ground, two innovation and commercialization bases, University of Iowa Research Foundation and University of Iowa Research Park were established to facilitate technology marketing and licensing. Iowa Centers for Enterprise, part of both bases, play a central role that connects JPEC to technology transfer office. One good example is, Iowa Medical Innovation Group (IMIG), a two – semester interdisplinary program that introduces students to all phases of medical device/technology development. Students from the colleges of Business, Engineering, Law, and Medicine collaborate in a real-world environment to identify a medical need, create a solution, and move it through the development and commercialization process. &nbsp;<span style="color: rgb(68, 68, 68); white-space: pre-wrap;">The University of Iowa Research Park offers researchers access to a state-of-the-art business incubator and can also help entrepreneurs find students who are interested in their research. Additionally,the Bedell Entrepreneurship Learning Laboratory (BELL) provides qualified students free office space and mentorship to further their ventures.</span></span></span>
