MADISON â?? The entrepreneurial spirit is rising at UW-Madison and other campuses, and not just among faculty and staff who want to start new companies.
Students are also chomping at the bit to create their own firms, officials say, which is one of the reasons why the University Research Park is opening 10 incubator suites in a former manufacturing site on East Washington Ave. in the capital city.
UW-Madison Chancellor John Wiley is predicting an â??explosionâ? of student-run companies. He says there has been a â??sea changeâ? over the past decade in attitudes of students, many of whom now want to run their own companies rather than work for someone else.
