De La Vega Innovation Lab

The De La Vega Innovation Lab is a collaboration hub that connects students, alumni, faculty and external partners in innovation and entrepreneurial pursuits. Within the lab, students from across campus can engage in collaborative and creative processes and find the resources they need to accelerate business or innovative ventures.
