Because of their involvement with research, internships, and masters programs on their campuses, graduate students have stronger connections with faculty members and local resources, like investors and incubators. Graduate students are more likely to be able to approach a faculty member with a venture idea and have their voices heard, and potentially move their idea forward. Meeting and asking a graduate student for direction and advice is often the quickest way to get yourself oriented, or to find faculty members, campus programs, off-campus resources, and innovation spaces.</span></span>

<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;The role of University Innovation Fellows in bridging the undergraduate-graduate gap in bioengineering is key</span>''.&nbsp;''<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">It is important for Candidates to remember that, despite any obstacles during training, they will receive tremendous amounts of additional support after official induction as Fellows has been publicized on their campus. Once news of your status as a Fellow is announced, people will look to you as authorities and game-changers in innovation, and people will want to work with you. It is important for you to use this publicity as a means of&nbsp;</span>''generating awareness of bioengineering entrepreneurship among undergraduates.''<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14.5pt;">&nbsp;As an undergraduate yourself, you have the unique ability to emphasize the involvement of your peers in every innovative opportunity available, including those under mentorship of graduate students. The relationships that you build with faculty and administration will be bridges for other undergraduates to cross in their innovative pursuits. &nbsp; &nbsp;</span>
