<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">At Washington State University, students are highly encouraged to explore innovation and entrepreneurship through various mediums on both the entrepreneurial perspective of the Carson College of Business and also the innovation Voiland College of Engineering and Architecture. Apart from these two colleges, there are many entrepreneurial activities and opportunities, however, they are seemingly separate from the rest of campus and there is not much opportunity for students of different disciplines, except for select students in the Carson College of Business and the Voiland College of Engineering and Architecture. The college of business houses the Center for Entrepreneurial Studies, an entrepreneurship major is offered along with an entrepreneurship minor for students not in the Carson College of Business here.

<span style="color: rgb(55, 62, 77); font-family:helvetica, arial,helvetica,sans-serif; line-height: 15.36px; white-space: pre-wrap;">There are a few different ways in which Washington State University Innovation Fellow Spring 2013can be more involved with local economic development efforts. First, there are two incubators in the region which help foster high-tech startups. Many of the companies in these incubators have alumni from Washington State University. Second, there are large economic development efforts from Spokane, Washington. Getting involved with the Spokane Angel alliance with be a productive way of engaging with the local economy. Currently, the most engaged local company is Schweitzer Engineering Laboratories which hires students and helps with many university events.</span><div style="color: Viviana Tranrgb(102, 102, 102); font-family: 'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', Arial, san-serif;"></spandiv>

<span style="font-size:small;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">Washington State University is a college that focuses on programs and opportunities in innovation for the student body.

The problem, however, is that many of these students do not know how to refine their ideas or access some of the resource's we have on capmus. Our plan is to create the first WSU pitch workshop where students will have the ability to work with like minded individuals on an idea while also getting coaching from experts in various fields. At the ptich work shops, there will be a special focus on promoting awareness for WSU resources. </span></span> === <span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">Resource Nights:</span></span> ===
<span style="font-size:small;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">Resource Nights are part of a 6-week program that offers students the chance to talk to alumni who have created start-ups. They are held in the Spring and run the first 6 weeks into the Spring semester. The speakers' backgrounds are varied and they offer valuable insight on various topics. This program is limited to students who are taking specific courses at WSU. The goal would be to open this up to all disciplines on the campus and give students within STEM programs the opportunities to gain the same knowledge. </span></span>

The program aims to give students the tools and experiences they need to pursue their ideas. This program also promotes students to be involved on-campus and apply for the business competition offered in the spring. It focuses on creating cohesion between the college of engineering and the college of business. This program gives the students a real experience of the process of working with others with different backgrounds while getting the experience of starting a business from scratch. To be a part of this particular program, there is an application process; however, a majority of the classes in this program are offered to all students. The goal is to make students more aware of the courses within this program that available to them. </span></span>

The hardest part limited number of planning a TEDx at our campus is finding speakers and sponsors, due to our campus's location. The WSU TEDx has been very successful in recruiting professors on campus students who were able to give talks about their research or ideas. Howeverattend, it has lacked in bringing outside talent to talk about projects they have been working on. As now with the WSU TEDx moves forward, we plan to bring in people from other regions to give an additional prespective modified events more students of all different backgrounds are able to our campusattend. </span></span> {{#Widget:Youtube|id=VZAC_xxxZj8}}
