<p>Agraese: </p> <hr /> <div>= Strategic Priorites =<br /> <br /> [[File:Uccs letters.png]]<br /> <br /> === Strategy 1: Centralize Resources ===<br /> <br /> <span id="docs-internal-guid-c3ee3333-d52c-a7be-db4a-474156a6bde9"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Roboto; color: rgb(33, 33, 33); vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">As many of the problems we found when we were looking at on our landscape canvas dealt with resources, one of our solutions was creating a centralized place where people could find the resources they need, and to provide the knowledge that these resources existed. &nbsp;Our first idea was to create a google sheet which would have different categories of resources with updated contact information, but we knew we would have a problem with keeping the contact information up to date. &nbsp;When we spoke with our faculty champion, he suggested that we use the existing student government wiki to create this, so that the contact information could be edited by whoever had the information, and the edits would just have to be moderated, making less work for the people maintaining the page. &nbsp;In addition to this, he suggested that we create a club listing, and in order for clubs to be on the current listing, the club leader (or whoever is in charge of their online presence), would have to update their listing each semester. &nbsp;This would help create an accurate picture of active clubs on campus.</span></span><br /> <br /> === Strategy 2: Mobile Maker Cart ===<br /> <br /> <span style="color: rgb(33, 33, 33); font-family: Roboto; font-size: 12pt; white-space: pre-wrap;">Since large, unused classroom space is a rare commodity, we had to find a more flexible solution to provide students access to infrastructure. We came up with the idea of a mobile UCCS Maker Cart, which would be a mobile workstation for students. This cart would have consumable materials, such as construction paper, pipe cleaners, glue sticks and much more. Tools such as scissors, glue sticks, binder clips, etc. would also be included. The cart itself would have a large table top to work on, a whiteboard to get ideas down, an attached trash can for easy cleanup, many shelves for supplies, and plenty of “ad” space to advertise local campus resources and community resources, such as venture capital.</span><br /> <br /> === Strategy 3: Instant Innovation Challenges ===<br /> <br /> <span style="color: rgb(33, 33, 33); font-family: Roboto; font-size: 12pt; white-space: pre-wrap;">To engage students on campus by actively involving them in team situations which require them to use innovation and creativity we prototyped an instant challenge game. This game involved basic materials checked out from the library including, tape, rulers, pencils, cases, string, and a large heavy book. The goal of the challenge is to get the book as high off of the table using only the included materials. We conducted the game on a table outside of our library and got a group of students, who had never met, to participate in the challenge. We gave them 2 minutes to discuss a plan, without touching the materials, then we gave them 5 minutes to actually implement their design. If successful at holding the book in the air, then another random person walking by is selected to judge the teams design.</span><br /> <br /> <span id="docs-internal-guid-c3ee3333-d52e-d833-4812-73726559a151"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Roboto; color: rgb(33, 33, 33); vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">We didn’t have a lot of materials and we were happy to see how engaged the students got when they started working together to figure out the problem.</span></span><br /> <br /> = Related Links<br/> =<br /> <br /> [[University of Colorado Colorado Springs|University_of_Colorado_Colorado_Springs]]<br /> <br /> '''Fall 2017:'''<br /> <br /> [http://universityinnovation.org/wiki/Abigail_Graese Abigail Graese]<br /> <br /> [[Cmccormi|Connor McCormick]]<br /> <br /> [http://universityinnovation.org/wiki/Ryan_Janke Ryan Janke]<br /> <br /> '''Fall 2015:'''<br /> <br /> [http://universityinnovation.org/wiki/Preston_Hare Preston Hare]<br /> <br /> [http://universityinnovation.org/wiki/Kyle_Harmande Kyle Harmande]<br /> <br /> [http://universityinnovation.org/wiki/Courtnie_Kuecker Coutnie Kuekcer]<br /> <br /> [http://universityinnovation.org/wiki/Javier_Rose Javier Rose]</div>

For instance, we have a facility in downtown Colorado Springs called Catalyst Campus. This campus provides coworking space for developers and small companies to innovate together and create a more colorful and developed economic ecosystem in downtown Colorado Springs. The potential to have a relationship with Catalyst Campus and send future programmers there for internship options and possible employment is an opportunity we must capitalize on. Colorado Springs is one of the fastest growing cities in the nation and it is crucial that our university is well connected with other organizations around the city.</span></span><br /> <br /> = Related Links<br/> =<br /> <br /> [[University of Colorado Colorado Springs Student Priorities|University_of_Colorado_Colorado_Springs_Student_Priorities]]<br /> <br /> ''Contributors''':'''''<br /> <br /> '''''Fall 2017:&nbsp;'''''<br /> <br /> ''[[Abigail Graese|Abigail_Graese]]''<br /> <br /> [[Cmccormi|Connor_McCormick]]<br /> <br /> [http://universityinnovation.org/Ryan%20Janke Ryan_Janke]<br /> <br /> '''Fall 2015:'''<br /> <br /> [[Courtnie Kuecker|Courtnie_Kuecker]]<br /> <br /> [[Javier Rose|Javier_Rose]]<br /> <br /> [[Kyle Harmande|Kyle_Harmande]]&nbsp;<br /> <br /> [[Preston Hare|Preston_Hare]]<br /> <br /> [[Category:Pages with broken file links|Pages_with_broken_file_links]]<br/>[[Category:Universities]]</div>

Students learn how to develop a patent and work together to understand how these skills fit into their futures. The second class, Technical Writing, teaches students how to research, find, and write grants, culminating in writing a real grant proposal for a real client. Both of these classes provide students with hands on experience and skills that they will be able to apply in their future careers.

The innovation core, the heart of the BI, provides students with an experiential education in innovation and entrepreneurship.</font></span><br /> <br /> <span style="font-size:small;">In addition to the BI degree, our campus, through the [http://epiic.uccs.edu El Pomar Institute for Innovation and Commercialization (EPIIC)], regularly hosts events focused on innovation and entrepreneurship such as [http://tedxuccs.com TEDxUCCS],&nbsp;'''Startup Weekend''', '''Lion's Den Pitch Night''', '''Global Game Jam''', and&nbsp;'''EPIIC Nights Speaker Series'''.&nbsp; Each of these events are meant to encourage students to get involved in an innovative and entrepreneurial space, attempting to reach both students who have ideas and students who just want to get involved.&nbsp; If a startup comes out of one of these events, or if students create a startup independently,&nbsp;'''The Garage''' is available as an entrepreneurial workspace for students who are developing companies.</span><br /> <br /> == Encouraging Faculty Innovation and Entrepreneurship ==<br /> <br /> <span id="docs-internal-guid-64463e47-3fa4-ae64-39f4-4a3dfac6b904"><span style="font-size: 13.333333333333332px; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); background-color: transparent; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Faculty offer the biggest advantages that students at University of Colorado Colorado Springs have at their disposal .

The first is Business and Intellectual Property Law. In this class, students dive into what intellectual property means and how they can protect their ideas. Students learn how to develop a patent and work together to understand how these skills fit into their futures. The second class, Technical Writing, teaches students how to research, find, and write grants, culminating in writing a real grant proposal for a real client. Both of these classes provide students with hands on experience and skills that they will be able to apply in their future careers. After taking these two classes students have a realistic grasp on what intellectual property is and how they can protect, and leverage it in their future.</span></span><br /> <br /> <span><span style="font-size: 13.333333333333332px; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); background-color: transparent; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">In addition to the BI courses, the University of Colorado, as a system, has a Tech Transfer office which has the ability to license patents out to students to facilitate the development of a product or company around intellectual property that the University owns. This gives students the valuable opportunity to create innovations and protecting their intellectual property out of the box.</span></span><br /> <br /> == Facilitating University-Industry Collaboration ==<br /> <br /> <span id="docs-internal-guid-64463e47-3fa4-ae64-39f4-4a3dfac6b904"><span style="font-size: 13.333333333333332px; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); background-color: transparent; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">The community of Colorado Spring is very entrepreneurially focused and our university is dedicated to teaching innovation and entrepreneurship to students in business, engineering and the arts and sciences. Colorado Springs has makerspaces, coworking spaces, incubators, accelerators and other resources to facilitate the development of startups. With all of these entrepreneurial resources, it is key that the university has substantial relationships with each outlet. Through various programs currently being implemented in conjunction with the university, students have access to internships such as Startup Summer or educational resources such as Startup Weekend.</span></span><br /> <br /> == Engaging with Regional and Local Economic Development Efforts ==<br /> <br /> <span id="docs-internal-guid-64463e47-3fa4-ae64-39f4-4a3dfac6b904"><span style="font-size: 13.333333333333332px; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); background-color: transparent; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">The university is not well connected with regional and economic development efforts. For instance, we have a facility in downtown Colorado Springs called Catalyst Campus. This campus provides coworking space for developers and small companies to innovate together and create a more colorful and developed economic ecosystem in downtown Colorado Springs. The potential to have a relationship with Catalyst Campus and send future programmers there for internship options and possible employment is an opportunity we must capitalize on. Colorado Springs is one of the fastest growing cities in the nation and it is crucial that our university is well connected with other organizations around the city.</span></span><br /> <br /> == Related Links<br/> ==<br /> <br /> [[University of Colorado Colorado Springs Student Priorities|University_of_Colorado_Colorado_Springs_Student_Priorities]]<br /> <br /> ''Contributors''':'''''<br /> <br /> '''''Fall 2017:&nbsp;'''''<br /> <br /> ''[[Abigail Graese|Abigail_Graese]]''<br /> <br /> [[Cmccormi|Connor_McCormick]]<br /> <br /> [http://universityinnovation.org/Ryan%20Janke Ryan_Janke]<br /> <br /> '''Fall 2015:'''<br /> <br /> [[Courtnie Kuecker|Courtnie_Kuecker]]<br /> <br /> [[Javier Rose|Javier_Rose]]<br /> <br /> [[Kyle Harmande|Kyle_Harmande]]&nbsp;<br /> <br /> [[Preston Hare|Preston_Hare]]<br /> <br /> [[Category:Pages with broken file links|Pages_with_broken_file_links]]<br/>[[Category:Universities]]</div>

Students learn how to develop a patent and work together to understand how these skills fit into their futures. The second class, Technical Writing, teaches students how to research, find, and write grants, culminating in writing a real grant proposal for a real client. Both of these classes provide students with hands on experience and skills that they will be able to apply in their future careers.

The second class, Technical Writing, teaches students how to research, find, and write grants, culminating in writing a real grant proposal for a real client.

The first is Business and Intellectual Property Law. In this class, students dive into what intellectual property means and how they can protect their ideas. Students learn how to develop a patent and work together to understand how these skills fit into their futures. The second class, Technical Writing, teaches students how to research, find, and write grants, culminating in writing a real grant proposal for a real client. Both of these classes provide students with hands on experience and skills that they will be able to apply in their future careers. After taking these two classes students have a realistic grasp on what intellectual property is and how they can protect, and leverage it in their future.</span></span><br /> <br /> == Facilitating University-Industry Collaboration ==<br /> <br /> <span id="docs-internal-guid-64463e47-3fa4-ae64-39f4-4a3dfac6b904"><span style="font-size: 13.333333333333332px; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); background-color: transparent; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">The community of Colorado Spring is very entrepreneurially focused and our university is dedicated to teaching innovation and entrepreneurship to students in business, engineering and the arts and sciences. Colorado Springs has makerspaces, coworking spaces, incubators, accelerators and other resources to facilitate the development of startups. With all of these entrepreneurial resources, it is key that the university has substantial relationships with each outlet. Through various programs currently being implemented in conjunction with the university, students have access to internships such as Startup Summer or educational resources such as Startup Weekend.</span></span><br /> <br /> == Engaging with Regional and Local Economic Development Efforts ==<br /> <br /> <span id="docs-internal-guid-64463e47-3fa4-ae64-39f4-4a3dfac6b904"><span style="font-size: 13.333333333333332px; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); background-color: transparent; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">The university is not well connected with regional and economic development efforts. For instance, we have a facility in downtown Colorado Springs called Catalyst Campus. This campus provides coworking space for developers and small companies to innovate together and create a more colorful and developed economic ecosystem in downtown Colorado Springs. The potential to have a relationship with Catalyst Campus and send future programmers there for internship options and possible employment is an opportunity we must capitalize on. Colorado Springs is one of the fastest growing cities in the nation and it is crucial that our university is well connected with other organizations around the city.</span></span><br /> <br /> == Related Links<br/> ==<br /> <br /> [[University of Colorado Colorado Springs Student Priorities|University_of_Colorado_Colorado_Springs_Student_Priorities]]<br /> <br /> ''Contributors''':'''''<br /> <br /> '''''Fall 2017:&nbsp;'''''<br /> <br /> ''[[Abigail Graese|Abigail_Graese]]''<br /> <br /> [[Cmccormi|Connor_McCormick]]<br /> <br /> [http://universityinnovation.org/Ryan%20Janke Ryan_Janke]<br /> <br /> '''Fall 2015:'''<br /> <br /> [[Courtnie Kuecker|Courtnie_Kuecker]]<br /> <br /> [[Javier Rose|Javier_Rose]]<br /> <br /> [[Kyle Harmande|Kyle_Harmande]]&nbsp;<br /> <br /> [[Preston Hare|Preston_Hare]]<br /> <br /> [[Category:Universities]]</div>

We came up with the idea of a mobile UCCS Maker Cart, which would be a mobile workstation for students. This cart would have consumable materials, such as construction paper, pipe cleaners, glue sticks and much more. Tools such as scissors, glue sticks, binder clips, etc. would also be included. The cart itself would have a large table top to work on, a whiteboard to get ideas down, an attached trash can for easy cleanup, many shelves for supplies, and plenty of “ad” space to advertise local campus resources and community resources, such as venture capital.</span><br /> <br /> === <span style="color: rgb(33, 33, 33); font-family: Roboto; font-size: 12pt; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span><span style="color: rgb(33, 33, 33); font-family: Roboto; font-size: 12pt; white-space: pre-wrap;">Strategy 3: Instant Innovation Challenges</span> ===<br /> <br /> <span style="color: rgb(33, 33, 33); font-family: Roboto; font-size: 12pt; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span><span style="color: rgb(33, 33, 33); font-family: Roboto; font-size: 12pt; white-space: pre-wrap;">To engage students on campus by actively involving them in team situations which require them to use innovation and creativity we prototyped an instant challenge game. This game involved basic materials checked out from the library including, tape, rulers, pencils, cases, string, and a large heavy book. The goal of the challenge is to get the book as high off of the table using only the included materials. We conducted the game on a table outside of our library and got a group of students, who had never met, to participate in the challenge. We gave them 2 minutes to discuss a plan, without touching the materials, then we gave them 5 minutes to actually implement their design. If successful at holding the book in the air, then another random person walking by is selected to judge the teams design.</span><br /> <br /> <span id="docs-internal-guid-c3ee3333-d52e-d833-4812-73726559a151"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Roboto; color: rgb(33, 33, 33); vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">We didn’t have a lot of materials and we were happy to see how engaged the students got when they started working together to figure out the problem.</span></span><br /> <div><br/></div><br /> <span style="color: rgb(33, 33, 33); font-family: Roboto; font-size: 12pt; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span><br /> <br /> = =<br /> <br /> = Related Links =<br /> <br /> [[University_of_Colorado_Colorado_Springs|University_of_Colorado_Colorado_Springs]]<br /> <br /> '''Fall 2017:'''<br /> <br /> [http://universityinnovation.org/wiki/Abigail_Graese Abigail Graese]<br /> <br /> [[Cmccormi|Connor McCormick]]<br /> <br /> [http://universityinnovation.org/wiki/Ryan_Janke Ryan Janke]<br /> <br /> '''Fall 2015:'''<br /> <br /> [http://universityinnovation.org/wiki/Preston_Hare Preston Hare]<br /> <br /> [http://universityinnovation.org/wiki/Kyle_Harmande Kyle Harmande]<br /> <br /> [http://universityinnovation.org/wiki/Courtnie_Kuecker Coutnie Kuekcer]<br /> <br /> [http://universityinnovation.org/wiki/Javier_Rose Javier Rose]</div>

<p>Agraese: </p> <hr /> <div>= Campus Overview<br/> =<br /> <br /> == Promoting Student Innovation and Entrepreneurship ==<br /> <br /> In a world where technology changes rapidly, there is only one skillset that will always be in demand: the ability to adapt.&nbsp;<br /> <br /> <span id="docs-internal-guid-64463e47-3fa4-ae64-39f4-4a3dfac6b904"><span style="font-size: 13.333333333333332px; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); background-color: transparent; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">The University of Colorado Colorado Springs understands this, and has a mission to promote student innovation and entrepreneurship. UCCS has a unique degree called the</span></span><span style="background-color: transparent; font-size: 13.3333px; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Bachelor of Innovation</span><span style="background-color: transparent; font-size: 8px; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); vertical-align: super; white-space: pre-wrap;">TM </span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.3333px; white-space: pre-wrap;">that directly translates into the promotion of innovation and entrepreneurship on campus and in student's lives. Students in this program are required to engage in various entrepreneurial courses and innovation courses. For many student's this is an excellent opportunity and first introduction to these concepts, one that encourages them to practice those skill on real project in the real world.</span><br /> <br /> <span style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.3333px; white-space: pre-wrap;">This degree, however, poses a unique problem: the degree is forming its own silo within the university. Siloing is the antithesis of collaboration and innovation. Other degrees, such as the Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of Science, are not exposed to this valuable form of education. Overall, entrepreneurship and innovation are highly encouraged pursuits on campus, and many opportunities for their experssion are available to students.</span><br /> <br /> <span style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.3333px; white-space: pre-wrap;">In order to expand the reach of this education, the University Innovation Fellows team has chosen to focus on engaging freshmen level students, and progressively providing more opportunities for practicing these valuable skills.</span><br /> <br /> == Encouraging Faculty Innovation and Entrepreneurship ==<br /> <br /> <span id="docs-internal-guid-64463e47-3fa4-ae64-39f4-4a3dfac6b904"><span style="font-size: 13.333333333333332px; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); background-color: transparent; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Faculty offer the biggest advantages that students at University of Colorado Colorado Springs have at their disposal .

We came up with the idea of a mobile UCCS Maker Cart, which would be a mobile workstation for students. This cart would have consumable materials, such as construction paper, pipe cleaners, glue sticks and much more. Tools such as scissors, glue sticks, binder clips, etc. would also be included. The cart itself would have a large table top to work on, a whiteboard to get ideas down, an attached trash can for easy cleanup, many shelves for supplies, and plenty of “ad” space to advertise local campus resources and community resources, such as venture capital.</span><br /> <br /> === <span style="color: rgb(33, 33, 33); font-family: Roboto; font-size: 12pt; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span><span style="color: rgb(33, 33, 33); font-family: Roboto; font-size: 12pt; white-space: pre-wrap;">Strategy 3: Instant Innovation Challenges</span> ===<br /> <br /> <span style="color: rgb(33, 33, 33); font-family: Roboto; font-size: 12pt; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span><span style="color: rgb(33, 33, 33); font-family: Roboto; font-size: 12pt; white-space: pre-wrap;">To engage students on campus by actively involving them in team situations which require them to use innovation and creativity we prototyped an instant challenge game. This game involved basic materials checked out from the library including, tape, rulers, pencils, cases, string, and a large heavy book. The goal of the challenge is to get the book as high off of the table using only the included materials. We conducted the game on a table outside of our library and got a group of students, who had never met, to participate in the challenge. We gave them 2 minutes to discuss a plan, without touching the materials, then we gave them 5 minutes to actually implement their design. If successful at holding the book in the air, then another random person walking by is selected to judge the teams design.</span><br /> <br /> <span id="docs-internal-guid-c3ee3333-d52e-d833-4812-73726559a151"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Roboto; color: rgb(33, 33, 33); vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">We didn’t have a lot of materials and we were happy to see how engaged the students got when they started working together to figure out the problem.</span></span><br /> <div><br/></div><br /> <span style="color: rgb(33, 33, 33); font-family: Roboto; font-size: 12pt; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span><br /> <br /> = =<br /> <br /> = Related Links =<br /> <br /> University Innovation Fellows<br /> <br /> Fall 2017:<br /> <br /> [http://universityinnovation.org/wiki/Abigail_Graese Abigail Graese]<br /> <br /> [[Cmccormi|Connor McCormick]]<br /> <br /> [http://universityinnovation.org/wiki/Ryan_Janke Ryan Janke]<br /> <br /> Fall 2016:<br /> <br /> [http://universityinnovation.org/wiki/Preston_Hare Preston Hare]<br /> <br /> [http://universityinnovation.org/wiki/Kyle_Harmande Kyle Harmande]<br /> <br /> [http://universityinnovation.org/wiki/Courtnie_Kuecker Coutnie Kuekcer]<br /> <br /> [http://universityinnovation.org/wiki/Javier_Rose Javier Rose]</div>

The first is Business and Intellectual Property Law. In this class, students dive into what intellectual property means and how they can protect their ideas. Students learn how to develop a patent and work together to understand how these skills fit into their futures. The second class, Technical Writing, teaches students how to research, find, and write grants, culminating in writing a real grant proposal for a real client. Both of these classes provide students with hands on experience and skills that they will be able to apply in their future careers. After taking these two classes students have a realistic grasp on what intellectual property is and how they can protect, and leverage it in their future.</span></span><br /> <br /> == Facilitating University-Industry Collaboration ==<br /> <br /> <span id="docs-internal-guid-64463e47-3fa4-ae64-39f4-4a3dfac6b904"><span style="font-size: 13.333333333333332px; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); background-color: transparent; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">The community of Colorado Spring is very entrepreneurially focused and our university is dedicated to teaching innovation and entrepreneurship to students in business, engineering and the arts and sciences. Colorado Springs has makerspaces, coworking spaces, incubators, accelerators and other resources to facilitate the development of startups. With all of these entrepreneurial resources, it is key that the university has substantial relationships with each outlet.

For instance, we have a facility in downtown Colorado Springs called Catalyst Campus. This campus provides coworking space for developers and small companies to innovate together and create a more colorful and developed economic ecosystem in downtown Colorado Springs. The potential to have a relationship with Catalyst Campus and send future programmers there for internship options and possible employment is an opportunity we must capitalize on.

The first is Business and Intellectual Property Law. In this class, students dive into what intellectual property means and how they can protect their ideas. Students learn how to develop a patent and work together to understand how these skills fit into their futures. The second class, Technical Writing, teaches students how to research, find, and write grants, culminating in writing a real grant proposal for a real client. Both of these classes provide students with hands on experience and skills that they will be able to apply in their future careers. After taking these two classes students have a realistic grasp on what intellectual property is and how they can protect, and leverage it in their future.</span></span><br /> <br /> == Facilitating University-Industry Collaboration ==<br /> <br /> <span id="docs-internal-guid-64463e47-3fa4-ae64-39f4-4a3dfac6b904"><span style="font-size: 13.333333333333332px; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); background-color: transparent; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">The community of Colorado Spring is very entrepreneurially focused and our university is dedicated to teaching innovation and entrepreneurship to students in business, engineering and the arts and sciences.

This campus provides coworking space for developers and small companies to innovate together and create a more colorful and developed economic ecosystem in downtown Colorado Springs. The potential to have a relationship with Catalyst Campus and send future programmers there for internship options and possible employment is an opportunity we must capitalize on.

Overall, the efforts to promote innovation and entrepreneurship are expressed and are easily identifiable.</span><br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <span id="docs-internal-guid-64463e47-3fa4-ae64-39f4-4a3dfac6b904"><span style="font-size: 13.333333333333332px; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); background-color: transparent; font-weight: 700; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Encouraging faculty innovation and entrepreneurship</span></span><br /> <br /> <span id="docs-internal-guid-64463e47-3fa4-ae64-39f4-4a3dfac6b904"><span style="font-size: 13.333333333333332px; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); background-color: transparent; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Faculty innovation is one of the biggest advantages students at the University of Colorado Colorado Springs have at their disposal.

The first is Business and Intellectual Property Law. In this class, students dive into what intellectual property means and how they can protect their ideas. Students learn how to develop a patent and work together to understand how these skills fit into their futures. The second class, Technical Writing, teaches students how to research, find, and write grants, culminating in writing a real grant proposal for a real client. Both of these classes provide students with hands on experience and skills that they will be able to apply in their future careers. After taking these two classes students have a realistic grasp on what intellectual property is and how they can protect, and leverage it in their future.</span></span><br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <span id="docs-internal-guid-64463e47-3fa4-ae64-39f4-4a3dfac6b904"><span style="font-size: 13.333333333333332px; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); background-color: transparent; font-weight: 700; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Facilitating University-Industry Collaboration</span></span><br /> <br /> <span id="docs-internal-guid-64463e47-3fa4-ae64-39f4-4a3dfac6b904"><span style="font-size: 13.333333333333332px; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); background-color: transparent; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">The Community of Colorado Spring is very entrepreneurially focused and our university is dedicated to teaching innovation and entrepreneurship to students in business, engineering and the arts and sciences. Colorado Springs has makerspaces, coworking spaces, incubators, accelerators and other resources to facilitate the development of startups. With all of these entrepreneurial resources, it is key that the university has substantial relationships with each outlet. Through various programs currently being implemented in conjunction with the university, students have access to internships such as Startup Summer or educational resources such as Startup Weekend.</span></span><br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <span id="docs-internal-guid-64463e47-3fa4-ae64-39f4-4a3dfac6b904"><span style="font-size: 13.333333333333332px; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); background-color: transparent; font-weight: 700; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Engaging with regional and local economic development efforts</span></span><br /> <br /> <span id="docs-internal-guid-64463e47-3fa4-ae64-39f4-4a3dfac6b904"><span style="font-size: 13.333333333333332px; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); background-color: transparent; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">The university is not well connected with regional and economic development efforts. For instance, we have a facility in downtown Colorado Springs called Catalyst Campus. This campus provides coworking space for developers and small companies to innovate together and create a more colorful and developed economic ecosystem in downtown Colorado Springs. The potential to have a relationship with Catalyst Campus and send future programmers there for internship options and possible employment is an opportunity we must capitalize on. Colorado Springs is one of the fastest growing cities in the nation and it is crucial that our university is well connected with other organizations around the city.</span></span><br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> == Related Links<br/> ==<br /> <br /> ''Contributors''':&nbsp;'''''&nbsp;[[Abigail Graese|Abigail_Graese]], Connor_McCormick,&nbsp;[[Courtnie Kuecker|Courtnie_Kuecker]],&nbsp;[[Javier Rose|Javier_Rose]],&nbsp;[[Kyle Harmande|Kyle_Harmande]],&nbsp;[[Preston Hare|Preston_Hare]],&nbsp;[[Ryan Janke|Ryan_Janke]]<br /> <br /> [[Category:Universities]]</div>
