<span style="font-size:large;"><span style="font-family:georgia,serif;"</span></span>Here at Virginia Tech, innovation and entrepreneurship is a spectrum. In parts of the university, such as the college of business, there is a strong pull for this, but on the other side of the spectrum, there are departments of the university that have not integrated a positive I&E culture. There are many clubs, classes, and opportunities that utilize I&E and promote growth in that field. However, the classes that encourage I&E are typically exclusive to business majors unless professor permission is given. The clubs are open to anyone and everyone, but the majority of advertising and promotion for the clubs are done to business students. There are plenty of out of class opportunities for I&E, but not many Virginia Tech students are aware of them. There is no unified ideology that I&E is beneficial to all fields. Some departments agree, and some disagree. Part of our goal is to unify the faculty and students under the idea that multidisciplinary I&E is beneficial to the growth of the school. <</span>>
