Faculty at Susquehanna University have recently engaged in innovation and entrepreneurial opportunities with many companies and organizations such as the Keystone Innovation Zone and the American Physiological Society. These opportunities open the gateway for faculty members to provide funding and the opportunity for students interested in order to build their confidence and encourage their innovation and entrepreneurial skill set.</span><br/><p dir="ltr" style="margin: 0pt 0px; padding: 0px 40px 0px 0px; line-height: 1.15; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 14.4px; text-align: justify;"><span id="docs-internal-guid-2c383da6-32ce-591a-f3cb-561b62ac9d26" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.4;"><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.4; font-size: 16px; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; background-color: transparent;">Recently, Keystone Innovation Zone provided funding to a professor in the Sigmund Weis Business School to assist in developing a website for the local Selinsgrove company, Fresh Roasted Coffee. The funding provided allowed the faculty member to involve two Susquehanna University students for this great opportunity. Keystone Innovation Zone has also provided faculty and students the privilegeof assisting another local company develop a device to scale trees in order to assist the hunters in the area. Currently, faculty in the Biology department at Susquehanna University are working to gain funding from the American Physiological Society and the National Science Foundation to conduct innovative research. The funding is said to not only assist the faculty member in their research but to encourage the opportunity for students to take part in the research as well.
