Recruiting and training graduate students is becoming ever more challenging and costly. Maintaining a competitive edge is difficult in states like Kansas where monetary resources are in short supply. As a result, Kansas State University is continually searching for areas of competitive advantage—unique experiences and educational opportunities that might interest motivated students as much as extra cash. One such area that is being explored currently involves the commercialization of intellectual property (IP). The infrastructure for IP commercialization that has been developed offers an opportunity for recruiting and training future scientists with interests in entrepreneurship.
