<span style="font-size:larger;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">At the University of Portland we are promoting entrepreneurship and innovation through a variety of different programs and extra curricular activities. There is an Entrepreneur Scholar program, which is a competitively selected group of undergraduate students who create new business ventures, social enterprises, as well as implement innovative products and delivery models for these organizations. Every year we also have a 100k competition once a year, where students are able to pitch there ideas and ventures to a group of investors for the possibility of getting an investment. We are in the process of contructing an innovation space and assessing the possibility of starting a student venture fund. </span></span>
<span style="font-size:larger;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">In order to promote innovation and entrepreneurship, we have recently launched the Dean's Innovation Challenge and attracted 8 interdisciplinary teams. Additionally, The School of Engineering modified their core curriculum to allow students to take 9 semester credit of entrepreneurship/innovation courses for academic credit. This is just the beginning for the University, expect more to come!</span></span>
