<span style="font-family:georgia,serif;">Villanova Faculty members are active participants in an entrepreneurial lifestyle, and their lasting careers as entrepreneurs inspire the students. This year Professor Edmond Dougherty, assistant professor of engineering and director of the Engineering Entrepreneurship program, was honored with the faculty '''Meyer ICE award'''. This award was created and endowed by Patrick Meyer, a 1974 graduate of the Villanova School of Business. The award is meant to recognize those who embrace an innovative, creative, and entrepreneurial spirit. Professor Dougherty embodies these traits and showed this by helping to create the Engineering Entrepreneurship minor. On campus, Dougherty is a VSEC committee member, he manages ECE Senior Capstone Projects and ECE Day, and he is a founder of the Beyond Ideas program which has let him lead student entrepreneurship teams in competitions like the Ford Contest and Innovation Chase. Outside of Villanova, Dougherty has over a dozen patents in his name, and is the president of Ablaze Development Corp, founder of Wavecam Media, and founder of August Design, LLC.</span>

<span style="font-family: georgia, serif;">&nbsp;A number of professors and faculty members, including Edmond Dougherty, collect to form the </span>'''Beyond Ideas Committee'''<span style="font-family: georgia, serif;">. As aforementioned this committee works in tandem with the Villanova Student Entrepreneurship competition. The committee is dedicated to uniting all five of Villanova’s individual colleges through entrepreneurship related events that they hold. This allows graduate law students, engineering students, arts and sciences students, nursing students and business students to unite and use their unique talents to teach each other and collaborate.&nbsp;</span>
