*The [http://commercialization.wsu.edu/ Office of Commercialization ] at Washington State University in Pullman Washington is a successful transfer office that offers students consultation on preserving intellectual property, applying for patents and seed funding, and even offering incubator space for new companies to develop and grow.  The students at WSU Pullman have a tremendous resource that operates alongside existing companies and with the mentorship of successful entrepreneurs and faculty.  This incredible resource has been tremendously successful since its inception.  However, the resource is only available to the students at WSU Pullman and no equivalent on the satellite campuses exist.  A network of engineering, business, digital culture and art students are left without an incubator or research park to see the same realization of ideas.  The infrastructure for the Office of Commercialization exists and the students in Vancouver are ready for this outstanding resource.  By offering an equivalent of the Office of Commercialization, even on a small scale to start, students will have a place to begin with their student ventures.  The status quo offers a patchwork quilt of resources for students that requires a great deal of research and effort to compile the right resources in the right places.  By centralizing these resources through a tech transfer office it would make the ability for realization more available, accessible and efficient.
