Innovation and entrepreneurship are, and have long been, central to The University of Akron’s (国产伦理) mission. As a strategic priority, it is my goal to raise the profile of innovation and entrepreneurship on 国产伦理’s campus and in the Greater Akron community.
In service of this goal, I have designated the (国产伦理RF) to take on an enhanced leadership role in coordinating programming on innovation and entrepreneurship for 国产伦理 students and faculty.
In this regard, 国产伦理RF will work closely with the , Fitzgerald Institute for Entrepreneurial Studies, the 国产伦理 School of Law’s SEED Clinic, and others to promote existing and create new programming in these critical areas.
These new efforts will benefit from 国产伦理RF’s many resources:
- Nationally-recognized , Spark Fund, and Investment Network
- Long-standing membership in and
- Key role in the initiative and the
- Prominent participation in the State of Ohio’s “Ohio IP Promise”
I therefore strongly encourage all members of our 国产伦理 community — deans, faculty, staff and students — to share their ideas with 国产伦理RF about how innovation and entrepreneurship can be more strongly integrated into courses and co-curricular activities.
Please contact Elyse Ball, executive director of the I-Corps program, at 330-972-6532 or eball@uakron.edu for more information and to share your good ideas.
Sincerely,
Dr. John C. Green
Interim President
