The Blackstone Launchpad, having opened in the Fall of 2023, has taken great strides in engaging students across the UNF campus through venture development and career readiness programming.

The Blackstone LaunchPad was developed after a generous donation from the Blackstone Charitable Foundation. An office was established in the Coggin College of Business building. The services are designed to help all students on campus seeking help in entrepreneurship. 

Spring 2024 has seen continued growth, adding internship opportunities, Innovation Skills Badging, and additional programs such as Personal Branding to help students prepare for their post-UNF endeavors. New "Innovation Sprints" are being planned with collaboration of different departments across the UNF campus.
