Prairie [[|Viewhttp://cdncache-a.akamaihd.net/items/it/img/arrow-10x10.png]] A&M University (PVAMU) is a historically black university located in Prairie [[Viewhttp://cdncache-a.akamaihd.net/items/it/img/arrow-10x10.png]], Texas, and is a member of the Texas A&M University System. PVAMU enrolls about 6,324 undergraduate students and 1,758 graduate students who come from all 50 U.S. states and several countries throughout the world. About 56% of the students are female, and 44% are male.
Dr. George C. Wright is the seventh President of Prairie [[#|Viewhttp://cdncache-a.akamaihd.net/items/it/img/arrow-10x10.png]] A&M University, the second oldest public institution of [[|higher educationhttp://cdncache-a.akamaihd.net/items/it/img/arrow-10x10.png]] in Texas. Under Dr. Wright’s leadership, PVAMU [[continueshttpContinueshttp://cdncache-a.akamaihd.net/items/it/img/arrow-10x10.png]] to fulfill its land-grant mission of achieving excellence in teaching, research and service.
In 2011 PVAMU began a 3 to 5-year drive to improve innovation and research outputs in the university. There is now also an increasing recognition throughout the university [[|communityhttp://cdncache-a.akamaihd.net/items/it/img/arrow-10x10.png]] that the five buckets contained in the NACIE sponsored university commitment letter provides a blueprint to building successful entrepreneurship, innovation, and commercializing [[programshttpProgramshttp://cdncache-a.akamaihd.net/items/it/img/arrow-10x10.png]] and culture.
An innate entrepreneurial culture among PVAMU students has also been a major catalyst for innovation [[#|programshttp://cdncache-a.akamaihd.net/items/it/img/arrow-10x10.png]]. The university’s strong engineering, science, technology, and [[|nursinghttp://cdncache-a.akamaihd.net/items/it/img/arrow-10x10.png]] school have also been helpful.
Even so, PVAMU believes that an injection of “seed funding” access to USG grants will encourage faculty to their research rate, and commercialization effort.
