== Faculty innovation and entrepreneurship ==
Innovation and entrepreneurship at the University of Nevada are almost exclusively the domain of the College of Business; little, if any, institutional connection exists between this group and the College of Engineering and the more "innovation"-oriented side of the campus. That said, the College of Business maintains a strong and growing emphasis on nurturing entrepreneurship.
The College has two '''Endowed Chairs '''in Entrepreneurship. These are Dr. Mark Pingle, Charles N. Mathewson Professor of Entrepreneurship, and Dr. Dave Croasdell, Charles and Ruth Hopping Professor of Entrepreneurship. Dr. Pingle is also a professor of economics; Dr. Croasdell is the chair of the College's Information Systems Department.
Matt Westfield is an '''Entrepreneur in Residence '''for the University. He currently teaches New Venture Creation for the University and acts as Founder and Director of the Entrepreneurs' Assembly. He is also a serial entrepreneur, having founded Startup Growth Strategies, Inc., LSA Inc., LOGOpaperCLIPs, and several other companies.
