Miles College is launching a new innovation center to support Historically Black College and University (HBCU) students. The 2150 Center for Innovation, Commercialization & Growth will serve as an incubator to increase innovation opportunities for Miles college and its students.
Founder of the center and current Miles Chief Innovation and Growth officer Erskine Faush says students at HBCU’s are typically underserved when it comes to research and innovation.
“The idea was born out of a problem,” said Faush, “When it comes to research and patents the top two PWI’s (Predominately White Institutions) outpace all HBCU’S combined,” said Faush.
