UND was recently ranked 9th by Entrepreneur Magazine and the Princeton Review in a list of the most entrepreneurial schools in the nation. Why?

When the Center for Innovation http://www.innovators.net/ opened at UND in 1984, it was housed in a storage closet in Harrington Hall.

"They cleaned it out, gave me a World War II edition desk, a chair that was partially broken and a typewriter," said Bruce Gjovig, who launched the Center for Innovation and now serves as the center's director and entrepreneur coach. "That's how I started the Center for Innovation in 1984. In a closet with old furniture."
