Abstract: At present, rural revitalization has entered a new stage of solid and steady advancement. Sustainable rural revitalization necessitates the synergistic integration of efforts from all sectors. College students'innovation and entrepreneurship practices represent a novel force combining technological knowledge and practical capabilities within the rural context. They can assist rural revitalization by integrating development resources, enriching developmental drivers, and enhancing development outcomes. However, in practice, issues such as the “detachment” of some projects, the “short-termism” of objectives, and the “fragmentation” of support systems persist. To address these challenges, the process of empowering rural revitalization through such practices can be advanced by precisely aligning with local needs, promoting deep integration and development, and exploring collaborative pathways.
