The bulk of the undergraduate student promotion of innovation and entrepreneurship is occurring in the later stages at a much better succession rate compared to last year. We have accumulated many students - underclassmen and upperclassmen - from a variety of the entrepreneurial process, namely the application and venture forth stages, and is including primarily older students and has yet in their idea coming to reach join the underclassmen minor in an effective wayentrepreneurship & Innovation as well as the resources we MSU provides.</span></span>

From here Michigan State has a variety of sources for funding and continued support such as a wide network of alumni and business relations which the department eagerly connects with promising University entrepreneurs. As well we have local businesses such as LEAP, which is another free resource to help develop the student’s idea. Before students reach the point of incubators and work spacesworkspaces, however, Michigan state State also has a variety of applied entrepreneurial activities from a "Design Day", a pitch competition and entrepreneurial clubs.</span></span>

While the tools are there for entrepreneurs to realize their concepts and make them a reality students are often sometimes unaware of the resources available to them, intimidated by the idea of entrepreneurship, uneducated in the basics of entrepreneurial efforts or too strongly encouraged down the industry path to even consider entrepreneurship. This is an area which requires massive improvement on campus. Hackathons, TED talks and entrepreneurial workshops desperately need to be brought into Michigan State's culture while the tools and accessibility of entrepreneurship needs need to be better marketed to the students starting early in their academic career. Efforts are currently being made to adjust the curriculum and add more inspirational programs to the university but much more work can still be done in the area.</span></span><div><br/></div>
