The faculty members of a university are integral to the process of shaping a campus. By aiming to increase a university’s innovation and entrepreneurship (I&E), one must necessarily include professors and staff, who have a direct position of influence in each student’s education. Faculty have the power to create classes, establish student resources, support organizations, and help host events. Simply put, asking good questions of faculty will generate the best results. The process looks like this:

<li>Be sure to understand the system from a professor’s perspective: have conversation and understand their thoughts.</li><li>Establish connections with professors in departments that are traditionally receptive to I&E. Meet with them and understand what “innovation” is really about for you and your school.</li><li>Begin investigating what I&E mean outside of traditionally receptive departments. With this perspective, craft a plan that is both embracing of I&E and true to the spirit of your university.</li><li>To make a compelling argument for I&E to faculty, two things are required: data and and an understanding of the factors that may create opposition to classroom changes</li>
