The University Innovation Fellows are part of a national movement to ensure that students gain the necessary attitudes, skills and knowledge required for them to compete in the economy of the future. These student leaders from schools around the country work with their peers to catalyze even greater levels of innovation and venture activity on their campuses.

From helping create maker spaces to starting student-led venture funds, engineers and their peers are working to create lasting institutional change that will increase student body’s exposure and opportunity to developing skills in creativity, innovation, design thinking, entrepreneurship and venture creation. Learn more about becoming a University Innovation Fellow.

The next deadline for the University Innovation Fellows Program for the Spring 2014 semester is February 28, 2014. Each campus must submit a student and faculty application to be eligible for an interview. Learn more about the application process here.
