Beyond academics, there are several programs encouraging entrepreneurship on campus. Every year students compete in the Shocker New Venture Competition, where winning student groups are awarded startup capital to aid in the launch of their new venture. Students also attend inspirational and informational speaker series focused on entrepreneurship, innovation, and design, such as Business Booster Series, Shocker Startup Impact, and Lunch and Learn.
The Wichita State campus is expanding to reflect the innovation and entrepreneurship demands of the economy. In spring of 2017, a new makerspace, which will be located in the Experiential Engineering Building, will open to cater to innovative Wichita State students from all majors and backgrounds. The WSU makerspace will have the purpose to be a place where people can meet, collaborate and make things happen – will be part manufacturing plant, part design studio and part garage workshop. It’s a place where creative people of all ages and skill levels will have access to sophisticated equipment and training, shared work spaces and a supportive community.
