Initiatives

Olivet University’s Research & Development (R&D) initiatives are a unique blend of collaboration and academic programs designed to foster entrepreneurship and innovation. The initiatives serve as the gateway to Olivet University’s expanding entrepreneurship footprint in service of global Christian mission and ministry.

The initiative programs focus on moving students from foundational to experiential learning, enabling students to explore entrepreneurship, meet and engage with a growing community of experts across multiple industry fields, creating content, innovate in the field of education, and launch and develop new ventures.  Students from any Olivet school with any idea at any stage of formation are welcomed to apply for the R&D initiatives.

Explore and take part in this opportunity to shape cross-disciplinary collaboration at Olivet and serve as a catalyst to solving the world‘s most pressing needs through innovation and entrepreneurship in service of ministry.
