<div>= OVERVIEW =<br />
<br />
[[File:Draper-425x425.jpg|right|200px|Draper-425x425.jpg|link=https://www.berea.edu/]]Berea is a private liberal arts college, in Berea, Kentucky that differentiates itself by its ‘free tuition’ policy,&nbsp; its rigorous undergraduate academic programs and its labor program. Founded as the first interracial and coeducational college in the South, Berea admits only academically promising students, who have limited economic resources, especially students from Appalachia. All students at Berea work at least 10 hours per week in more than 130 departments and organizations on and off campus.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Entrepreneurship at Berea College has manifested itself in different academic and labor activities on campus such as the General Studies Program, Service-Learning Program, Active-Learning Experience. Most distinctively, the Entrepreneurship for the Public Good (EPG) Program has been the leading department in educating students about entrepreneurship.<br />
<br />
= STUDENT INNOVATION AND ENTREPRENEURSHIP =<br />
<br />
== Innovation and Entrepreneurship in Academics ==<br />
<br />
I&E is integrated into various coursework offered by the Agriculture and Natural Resources, Art, Business Administration, Communication, Computer Science, General Studies, Education, Sustainability and Environmental Studies, Technology and Applied Design and Theatre departments. All the courses are listed in the Berea College Landscape Canvas (link).<br />

== Entrepreneurship for the Public Good (EPG) Program ==<br />
<br />
*'''<span style="font-size:larger;">EPG Summer Institute:</span>&nbsp;'''The EPG Summer Institute is an 8-week entrepreneurial leadership program at Berea College. Each summer, a cohort of 20 students are selected through a competitive application process to participate in the program. The Summer Institute has a distinctive teaching approach; it focuses on the EPG Cycle of Abilities for Entrepreneurial Leadership: engaging complexity and uncertainty, exploring values and ethical structures, facilitating group decisions, recognizing opportunity, mobilizing resources and advocating for change. From the program, the cohort gains extensive knowledge on social entrepreneurship through coursework and hands-on experience by implementing the Cycle of Abilities in local communities in the Appalachia.<br />
<br />
*<span style="font-size:larger;">'''Business Competitions:&nbsp;'''</span>The EPG department provides students with the opportunity to attend regional and national business and social entrepreneurial competitions. Dr. Peter Hackbert, the director of the program, provides mentoring and guidance to students at different levels of the process of how to create a business from an idea/problem. Following are the business competitions/opportunities student can partake in:<br />
**Idea State U<br />

= FACULTY INNOVATION AND ENTREPRENEURSHIP =<br />
<br />
In the circle of academics, faculty often find themselves repeating what they have done and are comfortable with - highly academic settings with work that doesn't allow for creativity and innovation. We propose to educate faculty by utilizing the Ice House Entrepreneurship Program and the Work on Purpose program which is currently used by Dr. Peter Hackbert in the 8-week Entrepreneurship for the Public Good program to teach the cohorts about the entrepreneurial mindset. This would instill in the faculty and staff ideas about how to implement entrepreneurial thinking in each of their respective disciplines, thus changing the way the student body thinks.<br />
<br />
Though change is never easy, these simple programs do a fantastic job of exposing the entrepreneurial mindset for what it is. In order to create an environment suitable for students to create, innovate, and potentially launch startups, their mentors and educators must first have said mindset to aid them along their journey.<br />
<br />
= UNIVERSITY TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER FUNCTION =<br />
<br />
Berea College is committed to providing an environment that supports the learning, teaching, scholarship, and creative activity of its faculty, students, and staff. While there isn’t a tech transfer office, there are other resources that will help students shift their student research or idea to a commercial business. All the administrative work that is related to commercialization or patenting of an idea created by faculty, and/or student is handled by the vice president of Academics and the Dean of Faculty.<br />
<br />
“Within this context, the Intellectual Property Rights Policy is intended to:<br />
<br />
*encourage excellence and innovation in teaching, scholarship, and creative activities by identifying and protecting the intellectual property rights of faculty, staff, students, and the College;<br />
*encourage the notion that creative and scholarly works produced at Berea College should advance the state of knowledge and contribute to the public good;<br />
*acknowledge and preserve the traditional property rights of scholars with respect to products of their intellectual endeavors (e.g., books, articles, manuscripts, plays, writings, musical scores, and works of art); and<br />
*guide policy and process for commercial uses of intellectual property other than the traditional products of scholarly work.<br />
<br />
<br/>This Policy covers all types of intellectual property, including, in particular, works protected by copyright, patent, and trade secret laws.

<div>= OVERVIEW =<br />
<br />
[[File:Draper-425x425.jpg|right|200px|Draper-425x425.jpg|link=https://www.berea.edu/]]Berea is a private liberal arts college, in Berea, Kentucky that differentiates itself by its ‘free tuition’ policy,&nbsp; its rigorous undergraduate academic programs and its labor program. Founded as the first interracial and coeducational college in the South, Berea admits only academically promising students, who have limited economic resources, especially students from Appalachia. All students at Berea work at least 10 hours per week in more than 130 departments and organizations on and off campus.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Entrepreneurship at Berea College has manifested itself in different academic and labor activities on campus such as the General Studies Program, Service-Learning Program, Active-Learning Experience. Most distinctively, the Entrepreneurship for the Public Good (EPG) Program has been the leading department in educating students about entrepreneurship.<br />
<br />

*'''<span style="font-size:larger;">EPG Summer Institute:</span>&nbsp;'''The EPG Summer Institute is an 8-week entrepreneurial leadership program at Berea College. Each summer, a cohort of 20 students are selected through a competitive application process to participate in the program. The Summer Institute has a distinctive teaching approach; it focuses on the EPG Cycle of Abilities for Entrepreneurial Leadership: engaging complexity and uncertainty, exploring values and ethical structures, facilitating group decisions, recognizing opportunity, mobilizing resources and advocating for change. From the program, the cohort gains extensive knowledge on social entrepreneurship through coursework and hands-on experience by implementing the Cycle of Abilities in local communities in the Appalachia.<br />
<br />
*<span style="font-size:larger;">'''Business Competitions:&nbsp;'''</span>The EPG department provides students with the opportunity to attend regional and national business and social entrepreneurial competitions.

== Berea Innovation Studio ==<br />
<br />
Berea Innovation Studio (BIS) is a club organization at Berea College with the mission of inspiring an innovative and entrepreneurial spirit among all Berea College students by creating an environment that nurtures the innovative energy and entrepreneurial mindset. It is a platform for students to learn and practice the concepts of I&E through interaction with peers on idea generation, prototype creation, and startup launch. It strives to engage all students in its activities, programs, and events, and thus, make a mark as one of the most innovative and entrepreneurial colleges in the US.<br/>The current activities, programs, and events are as following:&nbsp;<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size:larger;">'''Idea Bounce:&nbsp;'''</span>Idea Bounce is the first business idea pitch competition among interdisciplinary students in Berea College. It is designed to help students develop and pitch and idea, receive feedback and earn prize money. It was launched in Spring 2015 by UIF Cohort 2014 and is organized once every semester. Local and regional entrepreneurs, innovators and thought leaders have been invited as Judges of Idea Bounce in the past.<br />
<br />
== Berea College Technology Club ==<br />
<br />
Technology Club is an established Berea College club with 20 active members with the mission of . Some of the past and current club activities include: &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<br />
<br />
*<span style="font-size:larger;">'''UNDRCVR LEX:&nbsp;'''</span>The club created an opportunity for 6 members to visit a technology startup hiring convention in Lexington, KY. The students had the opportunity to speak with emerging startups and technology-based organizations and were encouraged to ask questions to gain a deeper understanding of the startup culture and entrepreneurial mindset as well as practice networking skills.<br />
<br />
*<span style="font-size:larger;">'''Design Thinking and Creativity Workshop:&nbsp;'''</span>The club organized several workshops for students/members to promote innovation and entrepreneurship through proactive and fun activities.

The club officers play the role of sharing knowledge and providing necessary tools and assistance to build on students’ personal projects. This is highly beneficial and encouraging for the students who have no prior experience in technology and design.<br />
<br />
= FACULTY INNOVATION AND ENTREPRENEURSHIP =<br />
<br />
In the circle of academics, faculty often find themselves repeating what they have done and are comfortable with - highly academic settings with work that doesn't allow for creativity and innovation. We propose to educate faculty by utilizing the Ice House Entrepreneurship Program and the Work on Purpose program which is currently used by Dr. Peter Hackbert in the 8-week Entrepreneurship for the Public Good program to teach the cohorts about the entrepreneurial mindset. This would instill in the faculty and staff ideas about how to implement entrepreneurial thinking in each of their respective disciplines, thus changing the way the student body thinks.<br />
<br />
Though change is never easy, these simple programs do a fantastic job of exposing the entrepreneurial mindset for what it is. In order to create an environment suitable for students to create, innovate, and potentially launch startups, their mentors and educators must first have said mindset to aid them along their journey.<br />
<br />
= UNIVERSITY TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER FUNCTION =<br />
<br />
Berea College is committed to providing an environment that supports the learning, teaching, scholarship, and creative activity of its faculty, students, and staff. While there isn’t a tech transfer office, there are other resources that will help students shift their student research or idea to a commercial business. All the administrative work that is related to commercialization or patenting of an idea created by faculty, and/or student is handled by the vice president of Academics and the Dean of Faculty.<br />
<br />
“Within this context, the Intellectual Property Rights Policy is intended to:<br />
<br />
*encourage excellence and innovation in teaching, scholarship, and creative activities by identifying and protecting the intellectual property rights of faculty, staff, students, and the College;<br />
*encourage the notion that creative and scholarly works produced at Berea College should advance the state of knowledge and contribute to the public good;<br />
*acknowledge and preserve the traditional property rights of scholars with respect to products of their intellectual endeavors (e.g., books, articles, manuscripts, plays, writings, musical scores, and works of art); and<br />
*guide policy and process for commercial uses of intellectual property other than the traditional products of scholarly work.<br />
<br />
<br/>This Policy covers all types of intellectual property, including, in particular, works protected by copyright, patent, and trade secret laws. Although the following list is not exhaustive, it provides examples of the kinds of work the Policy addresses: inventions, discoveries, trade secrets, trade and service marks, writings, art works, musical compositions and performances, software, literary works, and architecture.” ("[http://catalog.berea.edu/2013-2014/Faculty-Manual/Selected-Institution-Wide-Policies/Intellectual-Property-Rights-Policy Intellectual Property Rights Policy]." Berea College)<br />
<br />
= UNIVERSITY-INDUSTRY COLLABORATION =<br />
<br />
'''Berea College Office of Career Development '''has partnerships with several companies for students to increase various career development.<br/>It hosts several programs like the yearly '''''career fair''''' that bring outside industry in to recruit students for both internships and full-time positions. It also organizes various events throughout the year to prepare students for internships and life after graduation, like '''''Cornell Weekend'''''. Cornell Weekend is an event where MBA student from Cornell University come to Berea College for a weekend and meet with students to help them with their resumes and do practice interviews. It also provides students with funding for various career development and graduate school endeavors like funds for professional clothing, grants for grad school application and travel, for job interviews, and attending professional conferences.<br />
<br />
In terms of innovation and entrepreneurship, outside of Entrepreneurship for the Public Good and their regional contacts that aid their efforts in Central Appalachia, there is no university-industry collaboration.<br />
<br />
= REGIONAL AND LOCAL DEVELOPMENT EFFORTS =<br />
<br />
== Recognizing opportunity and advocating for change ==<br />
<br />
The Entrepreneurship for the Public Good program creates a multi-year, learning experience for Berea students to practice and implement Entrepreneurial Leadership in rural communities of Central Appalachia. The EPG teaching approach is expressed in the EPG Cycle of Abilities for Entrepreneurial Leadership. That cycle centers on six core learning goals of the program: engaging complexity and uncertainty, exploring values and ethical structures, facilitating group decisions, recognizing opportunity, mobilizing resources and advocating for change.<br />
<br />
Through this program, Berea College selects 20 competitive students to participate in an 8-week summer institute. EPG cohorts focus on creating a more sustainable economy mobilizing the area's resources: Adventure tourism industry. &nbsp;Cohort 12 submitted the Berea Trail Town application to the state of Kentucky as a project to boost Berea’s local economy. On November 10th 2015, Berea was officially certified as a Kentucky Trail Town. In fact, &nbsp;Berea’s Trail town approval was one of the fastest processes thanks to the cascading model adopted by EPG program. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
== <span style="font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; white-space: normal;">Leadership and civic engagement</span> ==<br />
<br />
The Center for Excellent Learning Through Service department is home for more than 15 community-service programs led by students. The college partners with local nonprofit organizations in order to develop the local economy of the city of Berea. Students manage student volunteers for on and off-campus events. Student volunteers get the chance to apply their academic knowledge and critical thinking skills to meet genuine community needs. Through reflection and assessment, students gain the deeper understanding of course content and the importance of civic engagement.<br />

[[File:Draper-425x425.jpg|right|200px|Draper-425x425.jpg|link=https://www.berea.edu/]]Berea is a private liberal arts college, in Berea, Kentucky that differentiates itself by its ‘free tuition’ policy,&nbsp; its rigorous undergraduate academic programs and its labor program.

<br />
Berea Innovation Studio (BIS) is a club organization at Berea College with the mission of inspiring an innovative and entrepreneurial spirit among all Berea College students by creating an environment that nurtures the innovative energy and entrepreneurial mindset. It is a platform for students to learn and practice the concepts of I&E through interaction with peers on idea generation, prototype creation, and startup launch. It strives to engage all students in its activities, programs, and events, and thus, make a mark as one of the most innovative and entrepreneurial colleges in the US.<br/>The current activities, programs, and events are as following:&nbsp;<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size:larger;">'''Idea Bounce:&nbsp;'''</span>Idea Bounce is the first business idea pitch competition among interdisciplinary students in Berea College.

<br />
= FACULTY INNOVATION AND ENTREPRENEURSHIP =<br />
<br />
In the circle of academics, faculty often find themselves repeating what they have done and are comfortable with - highly academic settings with work that doesn't allow for creativity and innovation. We propose to educate faculty by utilizing the Ice House Entrepreneurship Program and the Work on Purpose program which is currently used by Dr. Peter Hackbert in the 8-week Entrepreneurship for the Public Good program to teach the cohorts about the entrepreneurial mindset. This would instill in the faculty and staff ideas about how to implement entrepreneurial thinking in each of their respective disciplines, thus changing the way the student body thinks.<br />
<br />
Though change is never easy, these simple programs do a fantastic job of exposing the entrepreneurial mindset for what it is. In order to create an environment suitable for students to create, innovate, and potentially launch startups, their mentors and educators must first have said mindset to aid them along their journey.<br />
<br />
= UNIVERSITY TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER FUNCTION =<br />
<br />
Berea College is committed to providing an environment that supports the learning, teaching, scholarship, and creative activity of its faculty, students, and staff. While there isn’t a tech transfer office, there are other resources that will help students shift their student research or idea to a commercial business. All the administrative work that is related to commercialization or patenting of an idea created by faculty, and/or student is handled by the vice president of Academics and the Dean of Faculty.<br />
<br />
“Within this context, the Intellectual Property Rights Policy is intended to:<br />
<br />
*encourage excellence and innovation in teaching, scholarship, and creative activities by identifying and protecting the intellectual property rights of faculty, staff, students, and the College;<br />
*encourage the notion that creative and scholarly works produced at Berea College should advance the state of knowledge and contribute to the public good;<br />
*acknowledge and preserve the traditional property rights of scholars with respect to products of their intellectual endeavors (e.g., books, articles, manuscripts, plays, writings, musical scores, and works of art); and<br />
*guide policy and process for commercial uses of intellectual property other than the traditional products of scholarly work.<br />
<br />
<br/>This Policy covers all types of intellectual property, including, in particular, works protected by copyright, patent, and trade secret laws. Although the following list is not exhaustive, it provides examples of the kinds of work the Policy addresses: inventions, discoveries, trade secrets, trade and service marks, writings, art works, musical compositions and performances, software, literary works, and architecture.” ("[http://catalog.berea.edu/2013-2014/Faculty-Manual/Selected-Institution-Wide-Policies/Intellectual-Property-Rights-Policy Intellectual Property Rights Policy]." Berea College)<br />
<br />
= UNIVERSITY-INDUSTRY COLLABORATION =<br />
<br />
'''Berea College Office of Career Development '''has partnerships with several companies for students to increase various career development.<br/>It hosts several programs like the yearly '''''career fair''''' that bring outside industry in to recruit students for both internships and full-time positions. It also organizes various events throughout the year to prepare students for internships and life after graduation, like '''''Cornell Weekend'''''.

It also provides students with funding for various career development and graduate school endeavors like funds for professional clothing, grants for grad school application and travel, for job interviews, and attending professional conferences.<br />
<br />
In terms of innovation and entrepreneurship, outside of Entrepreneurship for the Public Good and their regional contacts that aid their efforts in Central Appalachia, there is no university-industry collaboration.<br />
<br />
= REGIONAL AND LOCAL DEVELOPMENT EFFORTS =<br />
<br />
== Recognizing opportunity and advocating for change ==<br />
<br />
The Entrepreneurship for the Public Good program creates a multi-year, learning experience for Berea students to practice and implement Entrepreneurial Leadership in rural communities of Central Appalachia. The EPG teaching approach is expressed in the EPG Cycle of Abilities for Entrepreneurial Leadership. That cycle centers on six core learning goals of the program: engaging complexity and uncertainty, exploring values and ethical structures, facilitating group decisions, recognizing opportunity, mobilizing resources and advocating for change.<br />

= FACULTY INNOVATION AND ENTREPRENEURSHIP =<br />
<br />
In the circle of academics, faculty often find themselves repeating what they have done and are comfortable with - highly academic settings with work that doesn't allow for creativity and innovation. We propose to educate faculty by utilizing the Ice House Entrepreneurship Program and the Work on Purpose program which is currently used by Dr. Peter Hackbert in the 8-week Entrepreneurship for the Public Good program to teach the cohorts about the entrepreneurial mindset. This would instill in the faculty and staff ideas about how to implement entrepreneurial thinking in each of their respective disciplines, thus changing the way the student body thinks.<br />
<br />
Though change is never easy, these simple programs do a fantastic job of exposing the entrepreneurial mindset for what it is. In order to create an environment suitable for students to create, innovate, and potentially launch startups, their mentors and educators must first have said mindset to aid them along their journey.<br />
<br />
= UNIVERSITY TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER FUNCTION =<br />
<br />
Berea College is committed to providing an environment that supports the learning, teaching, scholarship, and creative activity of its faculty, students, and staff. While there isn’t a tech transfer office, there are other resources that will help students shift their student research or idea to a commercial business. All the administrative work that is related to commercialization or patenting of an idea created by faculty, and/or student is handled by the vice president of Academics and the Dean of Faculty.<br />
<br />

= UNIVERSITY-INDUSTRY COLLABORATION =<br />
<br />
'''Berea College Office of Career Development '''has partnerships with several companies for students to increase various career development.<br/>It hosts several programs like the yearly '''''career fair''''' that bring outside industry in to recruit students for both internships and full-time positions. It also organizes various events throughout the year to prepare students for internships and life after graduation, like '''''Cornell Weekend'''''. Cornell Weekend is an event where MBA student from Cornell University come to Berea College for a weekend and meet with students to help them with their resumes and do practice interviews. It also provides students with funding for various career development and graduate school endeavors like funds for professional clothing, grants for grad school application and travel, for job interviews, and attending professional conferences.<br />
<br />
In terms of innovation and entrepreneurship, outside of Entrepreneurship for the Public Good and their regional contacts that aid their efforts in Central Appalachia, there is no university-industry collaboration.<br />
<br />
= Engaging with regional and local economic development efforts =<br />
<br />
== Recognizing opportunity and advocating for change ==<br />
<br />
The Entrepreneurship for the Public Good program creates a multi-year, learning experience for Berea students to practice and implement Entrepreneurial Leadership in rural communities of Central Appalachia. The EPG teaching approach is expressed in the EPG Cycle of Abilities for Entrepreneurial Leadership. That cycle centers on six core learning goals of the program: engaging complexity and uncertainty, exploring values and ethical structures, facilitating group decisions, recognizing opportunity, mobilizing resources and advocating for change.<br />
<br />
Through this program, Berea College selects 20 competitive students to participate in an 8-week summer institute. EPG cohorts focus on creating a more sustainable economy mobilizing the area's resources: Adventure tourism industry. &nbsp;Cohort 12 submitted the Berea Trail Town application to the state of Kentucky as a project to boost Berea’s local economy. On November 10th 2015, Berea was officially certified as a Kentucky Trail Town. In fact, &nbsp;Berea’s Trail town approval was one of the fastest processes thanks to the cascading model adopted by EPG program. &nbsp;<br />
<br />

<br />
Berea is a private liberal arts college, in Berea, Kentucky that differentiates itself by its ‘free tuition’ policy, [[File:Draper-425x425.jpg|right|200px|Draper-425x425.jpg]]its rigorous undergraduate academic programs and its labor program.

All students at Berea work at least 10 hours per week in more than 130 departments and organizations on and off campus.<br />
<br />
Entrepreneurship at Berea College has manifested itself in different academic and labor activities on campus such as the General Studies Program, Service-Learning Program, Active-Learning Experience.

<br />
Berea Innovation Studio (BIS) is a club organization at Berea College with the mission of inspiring an innovative and entrepreneurial spirit among all Berea College students by creating an environment that nurtures the innovative energy and entrepreneurial mindset. It is a platform for students to learn and practice the concepts of I&E through interaction with peers on idea generation, prototype creation, and startup launch. It strives to engage all students in its activities, programs, and events, and thus, make a mark as one of the most innovative and entrepreneurial colleges in the US.<br/>The current activities, programs, and events are as following:&nbsp;<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size:larger;">'''Idea Bounce:&nbsp;'''</span>Idea Bounce is the first business idea pitch competition among interdisciplinary students in Berea College.

<br />
= FACULTY INNOVATION AND ENTREPRENEURSHIP =<br />
<br />
In the circle of academics, faculty often find themselves repeating what they have done and are comfortable with - highly academic settings with work that doesn't allow for creativity and innovation. We propose to educate faculty by utilizing the Ice House Entrepreneurship Program and the Work on Purpose program which is currently used by Dr. Peter Hackbert in the 8-week Entrepreneurship for the Public Good program to teach the cohorts about the entrepreneurial mindset. This would instill in the faculty and staff ideas about how to implement entrepreneurial thinking in each of their respective disciplines, thus changing the way the student body thinks.<br />
<br />
Though change is never easy, these simple programs do a fantastic job of exposing the entrepreneurial mindset for what it is. In order to create an environment suitable for students to create, innovate, and potentially launch startups, their mentors and educators must first have said mindset to aid them along their journey.<br />
<br />
= UNIVERSITY TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER FUNCTION =<br />
<br />
Berea College is committed to providing an environment that supports the learning, teaching, scholarship, and creative activity of its faculty, students, and staff. While there isn’t a tech transfer office, there are other resources that will help students shift their student research or idea to a commercial business. All the administrative work that is related to commercialization or patenting of an idea created by faculty, and/or student is handled by the vice president of Academics and the Dean of Faculty.<br />
<br />
“Within this context, the Intellectual Property Rights Policy is intended to:<br />
<br />
*encourage excellence and innovation in teaching, scholarship, and creative activities by identifying and protecting the intellectual property rights of faculty, staff, students, and the College;<br />
*encourage the notion that creative and scholarly works produced at Berea College should advance the state of knowledge and contribute to the public good;<br />
*acknowledge and preserve the traditional property rights of scholars with respect to products of their intellectual endeavors (e.g., books, articles, manuscripts, plays, writings, musical scores, and works of art); and<br />
*guide policy and process for commercial uses of intellectual property other than the traditional products of scholarly work.<br />

<br />
= FACULTY INNOVATION AND ENTREPRENEURSHIP =<br />
<br />
In the circle of academics, faculty often find themselves repeating what they have done and are comfortable with - highly academic settings with work that doesn't allow for creativity and innovation. We propose to educate faculty by utilizing the Ice House Entrepreneurship Program and the Work on Purpose program which is currently used by Dr. Peter Hackbert in the 8-week Entrepreneurship for the Public Good program to teach the cohorts about the entrepreneurial mindset. This would instill in the faculty and staff ideas about how to implement entrepreneurial thinking in each of their respective disciplines, thus changing the way the student body thinks.<br />
<br />
Though change is never easy, these simple programs do a fantastic job of exposing the entrepreneurial mindset for what it is. In order to create an environment suitable for students to create, innovate, and potentially launch startups, their mentors and educators must first have said mindset to aid them along their journey.<br />
<br />
= UNIVERSITY TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER FUNCTION =<br />
<br />
Berea College is committed to providing an environment that supports the learning, teaching, scholarship, and creative activity of its faculty, students, and staff. While there isn’t a tech transfer office, there are other resources that will help students shift their student research or idea to a commercial business. All the administrative work that is related to commercialization or patenting of an idea created by faculty, and/or student is handled by the vice president of Academics and the Dean of Faculty.<br />
<br />
“Within this context, the Intellectual Property Rights Policy is intended to:<br />
<br />
*encourage excellence and innovation in teaching, scholarship, and creative activities by identifying and protecting the intellectual property rights of faculty, staff, students, and the College;<br />
*encourage the notion that creative and scholarly works produced at Berea College should advance the state of knowledge and contribute to the public good;<br />
*acknowledge and preserve the traditional property rights of scholars with respect to products of their intellectual endeavors (e.g., books, articles, manuscripts, plays, writings, musical scores, and works of art); and<br />
*guide policy and process for commercial uses of intellectual property other than the traditional products of scholarly work.<br />
<br />
<br/>This Policy covers all types of intellectual property, including, in particular, works protected by copyright, patent, and trade secret laws. Although the following list is not exhaustive, it provides examples of the kinds of work the Policy addresses: inventions, discoveries, trade secrets, trade and service marks, writings, art works, musical compositions and performances, software, literary works, and architecture.” ("[http://catalog.berea.edu/2013-2014/Faculty-Manual/Selected-Institution-Wide-Policies/Intellectual-Property-Rights-Policy Intellectual Property Rights Policy]." Berea College)<br />
<br />
= UNIVERSITY-INDUSTRY COLLABORATION =<br />
<br />
'''Berea College Office of Career Development '''has partnerships with several companies for students to increase various career development.<br/>It hosts several programs like the yearly '''''career fair''''' that bring outside industry in to recruit students for both internships and full-time positions. It also organizes various events throughout the year to prepare students for internships and life after graduation, like '''''Cornell Weekend'''''. Cornell Weekend is an event where MBA student from Cornell University come to Berea College for a weekend and meet with students to help them with their resumes and do practice interviews. It also provides students with funding for various career development and graduate school endeavors like funds for professional clothing, grants for grad school application and travel, for job interviews, and attending professional conferences.<br />
<br />
In terms of innovation and entrepreneurship, outside of Entrepreneurship for the Public Good and their regional contacts that aid their efforts in Central Appalachia, there is no university-industry collaboration.<br />
<br />
= Engaging with regional and local economic development efforts =<br />
<br />
== Recognizing opportunity and advocating for change ==<br />
<br />
The Entrepreneurship for the Public Good program creates a multi-year, learning experience for Berea students to practice and implement Entrepreneurial Leadership in rural communities of Central Appalachia. The EPG teaching approach is expressed in the EPG Cycle of Abilities for Entrepreneurial Leadership. That cycle centers on six core learning goals of the program: engaging complexity and uncertainty, exploring values and ethical structures, facilitating group decisions, recognizing opportunity, mobilizing resources and advocating for change.<br />
<br />
Through this program, Berea College selects 20 competitive students to participate in an 8-week summer institute. EPG cohorts focus on creating a more sustainable economy mobilizing the area's resources: Adventure tourism industry. &nbsp;Cohort 12 submitted the Berea Trail Town application to the state of Kentucky as a project to boost Berea’s local economy. On November 10th 2015, Berea was officially certified as a Kentucky Trail Town. In fact, &nbsp;Berea’s Trail town approval was one of the fastest processes thanks to the cascading model adopted by EPG program. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
== <span style="font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; white-space: normal;">Leadership and civic engagement</span> ==<br />
<br />
The Center for Excellent Learning Through Service department is home for more than 15 community-service programs led by students. The college partners with local nonprofit organizations in order to develop the local economy of the city of Berea. Students manage student volunteers for on and off-campus events. Student volunteers get the chance to apply their academic knowledge and critical thinking skills to meet genuine community needs. Through reflection and assessment, students gain the deeper understanding of course content and the importance of civic engagement.<br />

<br />
= FACULTY INNOVATION AND ENTREPRENEURSHIP =<br />
<br />
In the circle of academics, faculty often find themselves repeating what they have done and are comfortable with - highly academic settings with work that doesn't allow for creativity and innovation. We propose to educate faculty by utilizing the Ice House Entrepreneurship Program and the Work on Purpose program which is currently used by Dr. Peter Hackbert in the 8-week Entrepreneurship for the Public Good program to teach the cohorts about the entrepreneurial mindset. This would instill in the faculty and staff ideas about how to implement entrepreneurial thinking in each of their respective disciplines, thus changing the way the student body thinks.<br />
<br />
Though change is never easy, these simple programs do a fantastic job of exposing the entrepreneurial mindset for what it is. In order to create an environment suitable for students to create, innovate, and potentially launch startups, their mentors and educators must first have said mindset to aid them along their journey.<br />

<div><span id="docs-internal-guid-e870e4e4-6775-91ec-89fb-41f2a6619805"><span style="font-size: 14px; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">This wiki page is constructed based off an interview done with current University of Georgia PhD student and University Innovation Fellow, Gregory Wilson. The topic is his experience with creating, planning, and leading events at University of Georgia that expose students to Design Thinking by gamification of the process.</span></span><br />

<br />
== <span id="docs-internal-guid-e870e4e4-6776-1577-2188-676e12b7e26a"><span style="font-family: Arial; text-decoration: underline; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Overview</span></span> ==<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial; white-space: pre-wrap;">Gamification is one of the newest teaching methods being implemented in higher education in an effort to produce innovative and entrepreneurial minded individuals. &nbsp;Increased need for divergent thinking means increased need for diverse teaching strategies.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial; white-space: pre-wrap;">Gamification is simply project based learning taught in a fun and competitive environment. The process allows a moderator or group of facilitators to task diverse groups of people to push the limits of their creativity. This style of project based learning creates a more engaging environment in which the lesson is more about the journey than the destination.</span><br />
<br />
== <span id="docs-internal-guid-e870e4e4-6776-1577-2188-676e12b7e26a"><span style="font-family: Arial; text-decoration: underline; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Target Audience</span></span> ==<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial; white-space: pre-wrap;">This is entirely up to you. The process of design thinking encourages diverse groups of people to collaborate on new innovative designs. Diversity among program participants should include those with different ethnicities, academic areas of interest and levels of expertise, age groups, sexes, moral beliefs and codes, the list goes on.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial; white-space: pre-wrap;">Gamification is also a great way to raise awareness about this innovative approach so try to get as many people involved as possible. It is important to keep in mind that the number of students you choose to participate must be small enough to be managed by moderators that are available.</span><br />
<br />
= <span id="docs-internal-guid-e870e4e4-6776-1577-2188-676e12b7e26a"><span style="font-size: 14.666666666666666px; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Getting Started</span></span> =<br />
<br />
== <span id="docs-internal-guid-e870e4e4-6776-1577-2188-676e12b7e26a"><span style="font-family: Arial; text-decoration: underline; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Needed resources</span></span> ==<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial; white-space: pre-wrap;">To get started on planning an actual “game experience” you must first do some serious background work. You should start with something small in your community/college to begin to raise awareness. Maybe begin by hosting a few workshops or pop-up classes focusing on a particular subject (3D printing, giving business pitches, the Adobe Creative Suite, or website design). Talk to professors and begin to build a rapport with the professionals in your college and community. &nbsp;Getting the community excited and involved is a big part of making your event a success. &nbsp;</span><br />
<br />
== <span style="font-family: Arial; white-space: pre-wrap; text-decoration: underline;">Funding</span> ==<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial; white-space: pre-wrap;">To get started you always need to discuss funding. Even a minor pop-up class in design thinking costs something, right? So here’s how you get the ball rolling. &nbsp;</span><br />
<ul style="margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><br />
<li><span id="docs-internal-guid-e870e4e4-6776-1577-2188-676e12b7e26a"><span style="vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Start by talking to professors and other administrative personnel at your school. You need to express sincere interest and drive in order to bring people aboard. &nbsp;</span></span></li><br />
<li><span id="docs-internal-guid-e870e4e4-6776-1577-2188-676e12b7e26a"><span style="vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Remember to start small, as most big ideas are constructed of little parts. So, try to utilize the smaller aspects to slowly bring your dream into focus. Remember money will always be tight and starting with small inexpensive resources can help mitigate costs.</span></span></li><br />
<li><span id="docs-internal-guid-e870e4e4-6776-1577-2188-676e12b7e26a"><span style="vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">See the value in introducing students to the idea informally and gaining their interest in order to gain traction with professors and administrators.</span></span></li><br />
<li><span id="docs-internal-guid-e870e4e4-6776-1577-2188-676e12b7e26a"><span style="vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Also look at university programs, grants, fundraising and alumni for contributions.</span></span></li><br />
</ul><br />
<br />

<br />
== <span id="docs-internal-guid-e870e4e4-6776-1577-2188-676e12b7e26a"><span style="font-family: Arial; text-decoration: underline; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Scheduling</span></span> ==<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial; white-space: pre-wrap;">One of the most important aspects guaranteeing a large turnout for an event is strategically planning the event. When planning any event, you must take into consideration the various other events and activities that are already part of your university/college’s master schedule.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial; white-space: pre-wrap;">Schedule the event during a period of time in the year that is relatively devoid of major campus wide events and if possible repeatable in subsequent years to ensure continuation of the event.</span><br />
<br />
<span id="docs-internal-guid-e870e4e4-6776-1577-2188-676e12b7e26a"><span style="font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Remember to make sure that the weather is in order for your big day as well.</span></span><span style="font-family: Arial; white-space: pre-wrap;">Also try to avoid major test schedules.</span><br />
<br />
== <span id="docs-internal-guid-e870e4e4-6776-1577-2188-676e12b7e26a"><span style="font-family: Arial; text-decoration: underline; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Staffing</span></span> ==<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial; white-space: pre-wrap;">Student driven with faculty/expert support</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial; white-space: pre-wrap;">There will also be a judging panel that will most likely consist of event staff, professor/instructors that are willing to dedicate their time, and any alumni that are also interested in being part of the event.</span><br />
<br />
== <span style="font-family: Arial; white-space: pre-wrap; text-decoration: underline;">Advertisement!</span> ==<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial; white-space: pre-wrap;">Send out information through social media, have moderators speak in classes of individuals you are trying to target, or send out mass emails. Make sure you get the word out.</span><br />

<br />
== <span id="docs-internal-guid-e870e4e4-6776-1577-2188-676e12b7e26a"><span style="font-family: Arial; text-decoration: underline; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Balanced Teams are Paramount</span></span> ==<br />
<br />
<span id="docs-internal-guid-e870e4e4-6776-1577-2188-676e12b7e26a"><span style="font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Background info is very important if you want to keep the playing field even. &nbsp;You may want to develop a system in which you can learn a little bit about the participants areas of expertise. &nbsp;The playing field wouldn’t be balanced if you have a team comprised of strictly engineers against a team of people who have never had a design concept in their lives. &nbsp;</span></span><br />
<br />
<span id="docs-internal-guid-e870e4e4-6776-1577-2188-676e12b7e26a"><span style="font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Your goal is to create a system in which the teams have balanced resources as much as possible. One good option is to have the participants state their academic background on whatever apparatus you choose to pick teams with.</span></span><br />
<br />
== <span id="docs-internal-guid-e870e4e4-6776-1577-2188-676e12b7e26a"><span style="font-family: Arial; text-decoration: underline; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Structure</span></span> ==<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial; white-space: pre-wrap;">Stay away from too much structure. &nbsp;Innovation comes to each individual in their own way and time. You must allow the freedom for your participants to navigate the game as they please.</span><br />
<br />
== <span id="docs-internal-guid-e870e4e4-6776-1577-2188-676e12b7e26a"><span style="font-family: Arial; text-decoration: underline; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Community vs Competition</span></span> ==<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial; white-space: pre-wrap;">It is important to keep the spirit of community and collaboration in mind when planning such an event. &nbsp;While the ultimate goal of the participants may be to win the competition, you goal should remain focused on bringing the community together in a spirit of cooperative innovation. &nbsp;There are several ways to help keep the game focused on cooperation.</span><br />
<br />
*<span style="font-family: Arial; white-space: pre-wrap;">Give out points for sharing information or different skill sets with another team or award a special prize just for walking another team through a procedure.</span><br />
*<span style="font-family: Arial; white-space: pre-wrap;">Try to ensure groups of friends or acquaintances are on different teams while encouraging them to help each other out.</span><br />
<br />
== <span style="font-family: Arial; white-space: pre-wrap; text-decoration: underline;">Incentives</span> ==<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial; white-space: pre-wrap;">Try to come up with innovative prize ideas that can incorporate the resources outside your campus community. &nbsp;Talk to local business especially those that have experts in design and innovation or are interested in new ideas for start ups. &nbsp;</span><br />
<br />
<span id="docs-internal-guid-e870e4e4-6776-1577-2188-676e12b7e26a"><span style="font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Instead of looking for one Big prize, look for a few small prizes to keep the fuel going throughout the entire game.</span></span><br />
<br />
== <span id="docs-internal-guid-e870e4e4-6776-1577-2188-676e12b7e26a"><span style="font-family: Arial; text-decoration: underline; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Scoring lookout</span></span> ==<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial; white-space: pre-wrap;">Always be aware that there will be those who try to cut corners and “cheat the system”. You must remember that you must also manage the participants and their expectations as well. You can find yourself in a controversial situation when dealing with points for design.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial; white-space: pre-wrap;">Everyone has a different need and point of view. Keep in mind you are a mentor or a guide here to help each individual person to achieve their absolute best. Coaching and encouraging are your two best options in keeping the game focused on innovation. &nbsp;</span><br />

<br />
== <span id="docs-internal-guid-e870e4e4-6776-1577-2188-676e12b7e26a"><span style="font-family: Arial; text-decoration: underline; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Workshops</span></span> ==<br />
<br />
<span id="docs-internal-guid-e870e4e4-6776-1577-2188-676e12b7e26a"><span style="font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Depending on how intricate the design process is for your event, you may want to think about having workshops which pertain to the skills needed for the event. For instance, if you are making 3D printer available for use or maybe Arduino boards, you may want to have an instructor host a small workshop or series of workshops to help build different skills which would help the teams score higher with their designs.</span></span><br />
<br />
== <span id="docs-internal-guid-e870e4e4-6776-1577-2188-676e12b7e26a"><span style="font-family: Arial; text-decoration: underline; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Mentors, specialized judges, and guest speakers</span></span> ==<br />
<br />
<span id="docs-internal-guid-e870e4e4-6776-1577-2188-676e12b7e26a"><span style="font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Nothing like having a group of individuals with specialities around right? Adding a team of specially trained individual to help coach and expand on new ideas can only boost the level of innovation and competition. These individuals exist all throughout your college campus and outlying community. These specialists may be people that you speak with everyday already. You will never know unless you ask.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span id="docs-internal-guid-e870e4e4-6776-1577-2188-676e12b7e26a"><span style="font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">People who have taking the time to become a specially trained in any field usually has a passion for that field and typically would love to “show off their stuff”. &nbsp;Especially in an environment which may attract future clientele. Finding people to judges, mentors or guest speakers for your event may not be as hard as you think. You just have to go out and ask.</span></span><br />
