Join us for a panel discussion with Tom Lyons, Libby Santin and Jennifer Skjellum who will share the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga (UTC) Center for Innovation and Entrepreneurship’s approach to spreading entrepreneurship across the campus and engaging with the Chattanooga Entrepreneurial Ecosystem. 

The conversation will explore how the UTC Entrepreneurship Program helps students from all academic majors to develop entrepreneurship skills through its curriculum and the co-curricular activities offered by the CIE. The panel will also discuss UTC’s research commercialization program that is designed to help faculty and graduate student inventors who seek to take their inventions to market. The ways in which linkages to the community have been, and continue to be, built will be shared as well.
