Allocating the resources and finding the right people to get this done is a huge task, but it is a long time coming. As University Innovation Fellows, we hope to connect all the minds and opinions hoping for this already around campus together to make this happen.
= Branches for Holmes Center =
The Carlson School of Management at the University of Minnesota currently hosts the Holmes Center of Entrepreneurship. The Holmes Center of Entrepreneurship is the university's flagship center for developing entrepreneurs on campus. The Holmes Center hosts business pitch cometitions semesterly, provides entrepreneuership classes throught the Carlson School of Management, and is affiliated with the student-run Entrepreneurship Club.
The problem with the current setup with the Holmes Center is that due to its location it is mostly only visible to and utilized by Calrson students. Students in other colleges don't have easy access to the resources available through the Holmes Center. One possible solution to this problem is to disassociate the Holmes Center form Carlson and make it university-wide. Another approach would be to open up another branch or two of the Holmes Center on the other campuses of the university. Our priority we have as University Innovation Fellows is to find some way to increase the visibility and accessibility of the resources available at the Holmes Center to all students of the university.
