The Graduate College would like to announce a new opportunity within the Focal Point Competition. Through collaboration with the Academy of Entrepreneurial Leadership (AEL), the Graduate College seeks new projects that highlight and build entrepreneurship activities across campus. Begun in 2004, the AEL aims “to encourage entrepreneurial awareness and initiatives across all disciplines at the university” by catalyzing relationships and networks among students, faculty, the community, and industry.
The Graduate College is pleased to add entrepreneurship as the third Focal Point special emphasis along with (1) collaborative projects that build relationships with international institutions or NGOs and (2) interdisciplinary research addressing issues of domestic minorities in graduate education.
For more information about this new initiative, current and past awardees, and the full Request for Proposals, please visit the Focal Point webpage, http://www.grad.illinois.edu/focal-point-feature
