The University of Virginia’s College at Wise will receive $3.5 million from the University of Virginia to increase enrollment in programs at the college and to create a robust culture of entrepreneurship and innovation in the region, the college said Friday.
The Wise Innovation Ecosystem received the funding from the UVa’s Strategic Investment Fund, according to a news release from the college.
“The Strategic Investment Fund is an extraordinary opportunity for the University of Virginia community to dream big and exercise creative license to design and implement high-impact, high-value initiatives,” UVa-Wise Chancellor Donna P. Henry said.
She added that college officials are grateful for the award.
