As part of Vanderbilt’s ongoing drive to foster innovation and entrepreneurship, Provost C. Cybele Raver has announced a strategic new collaboration among the Wond’ry, the School of Engineering and the Owen Graduate School of Management’s Center for Entrepreneurship.
Effective July 1, the Wond’ry was integrated into the School of Engineering, expanding access to valuable innovation resources. As part of this realignment, entrepreneurship efforts have transitioned to the Owen School, where a dedicated team is set to bring those innovations to market.
“We are investing significantly in innovation and entrepreneurship programming to further unite our campus in interdisciplinary discovery and increase our impact around the world,” Raver said. “This strategic ecosystem will support all members of our community, ensuring they have the resources to innovate their ideas into impactful, real-world advancements, products and services.”
Raver emphasized that this new collaborative alignment is intended to benefit the entire Vanderbilt community—from those ready to launch startups to those simply wanting to explore and experience—by reimagining how students, faculty and staff interact with the School of Engineering and the Owen School.
