Philadelphia is an excellent environment for entrepreneurs, and there already exists a large number of resources for those interested in entrepreneurship and innovation on Temple’s main campus. Unfortunately, the majority of these resources are concentrated within the FOX School of Business’ Innovation and Entrepreneurship Institute (IEI). Students from all over the University can take advantage of what Temple’s IEI has to offer; however, a sense of unawareness and apathy exists in the schools outside of FOX. As University Innovation Fellows, it is our goal to change this. The following strategies will enable a university wide culture of innovation to begin to take hold at Temple and the greater Philadelphia area.</span></span> <span id="docs-internal-guid-190cba4c-4a5f-c658-7c6a-a04404977244"><span style="font-size: 16px; font-family: Calibri; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Right now, Temple’s first cohort of University Innovation Fellows, Richard Hoff, Alex Burchman, and Sean Martin will be coordinating efforts on each of these projects. They will need the help and cooperation of people throughout Temple’s entrepreneurial ecosystem.</span></span> <span id="docs-internal-guid-190cba4c-4a5f-c658-7c6a-a04404977244"><span style="font-size: 18.6667px; font-family: Calibri; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-weight: 700; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Project #1: </span><span style="font-size: 18.6667px; font-family: Calibri; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Innovation and Design Center</span></span>

The end-goal of this project is to provide students of any major access to the technology and know-how needed to bring an idea to life. This would include machine equipment training, prototyping classes, and design thinking workshops. The ultimate goal is a student run Innovation and Design Center to serve the Temple community.</span></span>
