<span style="font-family:times new roman,times,serif">Tuskegee University is a place deeply rooted in history and heritage. It is one of the top producers of black engineers, recipients of doctorate degrees and veterinarians. Founded in 1881, Tuskegee University has a legacy of excellence in learning, a leading role in the advancement of colored people. However, it has been lacking in the areas of innovation and entrepreneurship in educating its students. This lack will be corrected with the initiation of the innovation and entrepreneurship movement (IEM) led by a team of students and faculty, through collaboration with APLU ([http://www.aplu.org www.aplu.org]) , [[NCIIA]] , and [[University_Innovation_Fellows_Program|University Innovation]].<br/></span> == <span style="font-family:times new roman,times,serif">'''Strategy 1: “Changing Our Cultural Mindset of Scientific Discovery”'''</span><br/> == <span style="font-family:times new roman,times,serif">The IEM at Tuskegee University is in the forming stage.

The function of the NIE club will be to host weekly meetings, host I&E events, utilize strategic resources to advance the IEM, recruit students, generate funding, educate students and community about I&E, commercialization of ideas, and related areas of interests.</span> <span style="font-family:times new roman,times,serif">Tactic 3- Creation of a Technology office and/or Maker space</span>
