<span style="font-size:small;"><span style="font-family: Arial; color: rgb(38, 38, 38); vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">The leadership circle at Rowan University has learned that while entrepreneurial spirit can be found across campus, most students are unaware of the resources available to nourish the entrepreneurial mindset. The University has been supportive of innovation and entrepreneurship, but only recently has it begun to promote it in all disciplines. With the recent launch of the </span><span style="font-family: Arial; color: rgb(38, 38, 38); font-style: italic; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Entrepreneurship Across the Campus&nbsp;</span><span style="font-family: Arial; color: rgb(38, 38, 38); vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">initiative, Rowan has begun to implement innovation in all departments, not just the Business and Engineering schools. This is exciting for everyone because alongside the interdisciplinary collaboration it will encourage, it will provide students from all backgrounds the tools to develop a creative mindset and initiative that is needed in creating a startup or a similar venture. Rowan has also partnered with Hatch House Ventures, a startup incubator that provides students with resources such as consulting, mentorship, and space to work.</span></span>

This was established in 2014 and provides early stage funding to students, faculty, alumni, and companies that have developed and tested products. This Fund heavily contributes to a growing initiative in encouraging entrepreneurial and innovative campus growth. Howard Lubert is also the Area President of the Keiretsu Forum Mid-Atlantic. Through Keiretsu, Rowan students can get funded for projects. However, this fund is awarded to less individuals. The New Jersey Entrepreneurship State Fund is also available to Rowan students as it is awarded to a NJ student on a yearly basis through our State Department.</span></span></span></span>
