HOUGHTON, MI – Many students worry about finding jobs and stability after Michigan Tech, but others are willing to take more of a chance. They are focusing on innovation and entrepreneurship as the way to make their mark on industry and the world.
Innovation and entrepreneurship are two avenues that Brad Turner, a second year software engineering undergraduate, definitely plans to explore while he is at Michigan Tech. And it seems to be working, for he was recently named a University Innovation Fellow.
The University Innovation Fellows program is a national initiative that empowers student leaders to increase campus engagement with entrepreneurship, innovation, creativity, design thinking and venture creation. The National Center of Engineering Pathways to Innovation, also known as the Epicenter, runs the program, which is funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) and directed by Stanford University and VentureWell. Nationwide, there are currently 169 Innovation Fellows from 85 universities and colleges. All have completed an intense, seven-week training program to become a fellow.
