An innovation space enables students from all disciplines to learn to think creatively. There are a vast amount of different activities that can be held at such a space. This will be a space that the University can advertise in order to attract more prospective students.

<span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">Starting an investment fund led by students will give students to identify and student startups within the community. Having an investment fund run by and for students will provide capital for student-led startups and allow access to the mentoring of local entrepreneurs. This will also expose students to the Portland startup community. Raising capital while you’re still attending school is very difficult, and has the potential to deter students towards pursuing their ventures. Therefore, a student-led investment fund has the potential to be a valuable program at the University of Portland.</span></span>
