<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. &nbsp;There is an Entrepreneur Scholar program, which&nbsp;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. &nbsp;We are in the process of contructing an innovation space and assessing the possibility of starting a student venture fund. &nbsp;</span></span>
<span style="font-size:larger;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">Staff and faculty regularly are engaged with Portland Development Commission, OHSU ED, Business Oregon (State) and have collaborated on several studies and reports. &nbsp;Student involvement in these activities is anticipated to begin next year.</span></span>
