WSUV has the potential to grow a strong entrepreneurship influence in their region.  They have multiple plans for the future including developing multiple special topics and independent study courses for innovative students to collaborate and invent under the direction of a faculty mentor.  These courses would allow for school time and resources to give the students initial starting ground for ideas.  Innovative Faculty in this area include Dr. Dene Grigar, Dr. John Barber, and Dr. Joe Cote.  The nomination of a University Fellow under the NCIIA will also aid in bringing a student started entrepreneurial future to campus.  The University Fellow for 2013, Brittany Wouden, has begun by forming a student team out of Nouspace Gallery to coordinate multiple shows and workshops throughout the school year to encourage students to take their ideas from concept to innovation and have the opportunity to present to an interested public.
