2015 UIF Pitch https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aGugNRw0iQ0

='''Priority 1:  Facilitating Collaboration Amongst Elon Clubs'''=

===Purpose:===
Because Elon is full of driven students, the school has developed a culture of students being overly involved. As a result, students are stretched too thin and struggle to find moments to just breathe. Therefore, the purpose of this project is to bring organizations with similar goals together in order to make the most of events and students' time. By improving communication and forming relationships between different clubs, resources will be used more efficiently and students will find that they can better handle their schedules without having to compromise their passions for being part of a variety of different organizations.

===Strategies:===
• Partner with Elon Student Involvement Ambassadors to recruit student leaders for our project

• Work with Phoenix Connect to add improvements that will encourage communication amongst organization leaders

• Create a curriculum for future students to follow to ensure our project continues on

• Spread awareness of our platform and group to organizations throughout campus so students begin embracing our space

='''Priority 2:  Innovating a more Inclusive campus'''=

===Purpose:===

<span style="font-size: 10.5pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(29, 33, 38); font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">This is an initiative to have a more casual, easy access dialogues surrounding by diversity. The idea is to have easy conversations surrounding the backgrounds, experiences, turning point, and goals of our beloved faculty members. Elon faculty do a fantastic job of mentoring students but some students are not as willing to reach out for a one on one advising. This program will be designed as a series of ongoing weekly dialogues between a faculty member on a specific theme or question giving the students the opportunity to hear more about how their professors found themselves at Elon or in their area of interest. This program capitalizes on diversity of thought and diversity which is very much present at Elon but lacks a discussion to surround it. This brings the liberal arts education to life outside of the classroom, inspiring students to explore new areas and have a more fluid discussion surrounding inclusion.

===Strategies:===
<ul style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;">
<li>More fluid conversations surrounding diversity, diversity of thought, experience, background</li>
<li>Faculty transparency = student commitment </li>
<li>Ties to: diversity / inclusion, design thinking (personal application), personal wellness </li>
<li>Themed, casual discussions</li>
</ul>

='''Priority 3: Students Motivating Students in Innovation Learning'''=

===Purpose: ===

Inform the Elon community as a whole about innovation and entrepreneurship opportunities by allowing students to teach and motivate each other.  By doing this, students can feed off each other and create more ideas than they could when learning on their own.

===Strategies:===

Allow for students to create their own plans for learning about innovation.

Reach out to teachers to understand the ways in which students learn best.

Evaluate which learning activities seem to help students grasp innovation concepts better than others.

='''Priority 4: Creating change in Elon's global perspective'''=
<div> </div>
===Purpose: ===

To connect students to peers throughout the country, both through Unniversity Innovation Fellows and through study abroad. By doing so, students better understand the world around them, even if they do not have the opportunity to leave the country they reside in. Additionally, this will better build students to be global citizens and informed leaders. 

===Strategies:===
<ul style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;">
<li>Create partnership programs with communities world wide </li>
<li>Allow students to get a taste of foreign country’s before they go abroad by interacting with individuals from those places.</li>
<li>Providing the opportunities for Elon students with the chance to get a look in a culture that they might not ever be able to experience. </li>
<li>Make connections with UIF teams in other countries</li>
</ul>

='''Priority 5: Innovating for Stronger Alumni Support'''=
<div> </div>
===Purpose:===

<span style="font-size: 10.5pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(29, 33, 38); font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Recently an app was developed to connect Elon Alumni to current students. While Elon has many resources for student outreach through our student professional development center, students often struggle to forge individual connections. Our purpose here is to help students get involved with it. In doing sostudents can build sturdy relationships that can prove helpful for years to come.
<div> </div>
===Strategies:===
<ul style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;">
<li>Getting students involved in the alumni / student connection app startup</li>
<li>Expanding Linkedin movement, facilitating discussions</li>
<li>Pairing seniors and alumni</li>
<li>Pairing freshman and alumni</li>
<li>Alumni monthly speakers</li>
<li>Students can request alumni mentors at any time</li>
</ul>

='''Priority #6: Sustainable Innovation'''=

===Purpose:===

<span style="font-size: 10.5pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(29, 33, 38); font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">The sustainability Innovation mission at Elon University strives to bring more awareness on sustainability in clothing matter. The intention for this project is to allow students to be more engaged on certain innovative ways to incorporate reusable items into clothing. For example, students can learn more about how recyclable ocean plastic can be transformed into everyday essential items. In addition, students can engage in competitions or engineering projects such as 3D printed manufactured items which can allow for higher appeal in the fashion industry as well as less repurposing of waste products. As part of this mission, Elon will use <span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; background-color: transparent; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Innovative fabric made from 100% recyclable clothing and clever recycling will be used for innovative projects on campus These projects include competitions, and additional projects aimed for students completing Engineering and biomedical research, etc. 

===Strategies:===
<ul style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;">
<li>Create sustainability on campus by coming up with innovative ways to incorporate reusable items in clothing. </li>
<li>Focus on recycling</li>
<li>Making use out of innovation spaces which increase appeal and then lead to less waste</li>
</ul>

='''Priority #7: Elon Innovators Network'''=

===Purpose:===

One way to encourage others to take their ideas and dreams to the next level is to show them that it has and is being done! This project would seek to shine a light on Elon’s current and past entrepreneurs.

===Strategies:===

Contact individual currently in charge of Doherty Center Electronic message board TV.

Research students involved with I&E on campus.

Email these students asking for a “profile”.

Feature students on the board and expand to online.

Establish an Elon Innovators page on various social media platforms.

Feature students and alumni working on innovative and entrepreneurial projects.

='''Priority #8: Interdisciplinary Classes'''=

===Purpose:===

One opportunity for improvement at Elon is a current lack of interdisciplinary courses which bring together different subjects to engage students in subjects outside of their majors. Elon should create courses to combat this which bring together the different disciplines offered on campus to offer students a well-rounded education by connecting areas of study.

===Strategies:===

Strategize with a team to create and test prototype (aka mock syllabi, possible coursework, lecturers, etc.).

Get feedback from students to gauge who would be interested, gain support.

Contact the Dean of the Love School of Business, Raghu Tadepalli, about the possibility of the course(s).

Propose course(s) to academic council, department heads of all schools, provost, and more faculty who could help introduce the course(s) into our curriculum.

='''Priority #9: Increase Innovation and Entrepreneurship Engagement'''=

===Purpose:===

The campus does not lack innovation or entrepreneurship events and resources. Instead, the campus must cultivate student engagement in entrepreneurship and innovation. There are more events hosted than students who attend. In order to increase engagement with entrepreneurship courses, maker hub spaces, and other opportunities, there must be an investigation into the lack of student involvement.

 

===Strategies:===

Engage Elon students in conversations and surveys with students in regards to their motivation for attending campus events. The following questions can guide the conversation:

a. How did you find out about this event? (Email Newsletter, Flyer, Word-of-mouth)

b. Is this event related to your major?

c. Were you required to attend?

Analyze data compiled by Nicole Filippo, communications manager, to explore university advertisement engagement rates. It will help determine how to target students who express interest in innovation and

entrepreneurship events.

Implement a method of working from the inside-out: Focus on engaging students who express an interest in innovation and entrepreneurship before reaching out to the broader student body.

Speak with students who have previously run successful events and determine causation for the student-body turnout.

Compile an overview of sources and successful methods of student engagement across campus.

Move entrepreneurship events to theaters with larger foot traffic such as Turner Theatre in the School of Communications.

='''Priority #10: Pitch Contest to Alumni Network (2022)'''=

===Purpose:===

Students in all different organizations across the University desire to innovate and create products that are better than before. Students do not just need to be an entrepreneurship major, innovation fellow, or other involvement within the business school to crave this feeling of innovation. Creating a pitch contest that allows students to pitch their ideas to alumni that are innovators in these students business field would allow for students to gather knowledge, experience, and potentially raise money for their idea.

'''Strategies'''

*Connect with professors in different departments to gauge interest
*Connect with faculty that work directly with alumni to understand how we can best reach out to alumni
*Talk to professors within entrepreneurship field to gather information on pitch contest

 
='''Priority #11: Study Space Redesign (2022)'''=
===Purpose:===
Our prototype testing indicated that students currently lack a space that combats burnout and creative block as they work on projects and academics.  
===Strategies:===
Discussion with research participants informed a few possible approaches to improving the student experience with problem-solving endeavors and academic projects:

Design a study space or overhaul an existing maker space with...

a. "time out" activities for constructive breaks (play dough, art supplies, music, exercise equipment, etc.)

b. strong community-centric atmosphere

c. increased connection with natural elements (plants, natural light, etc.)

With several maker spaces and study spots currently on campus, there is significant opportunity to leverage these existing resources in designing for an improved student study experience.

='''Priority 12:  On Campus Dog Park (2022)'''=

===Purpose:===
Many students on Elon's campus have emotional support animals as pets on campus, which at most times are dogs. These dogs can only go out of their owners dorm when their owner returns home, and for certain pet owners they might only be home once a day. The spaces dedicated for on campus animals to go, run and play are zero. This results in most animals being walked by their owner once every few days on a leash. There should be a place for animals to run, play and be on campus that does not disrupt students, but also does not disrupt animals safety and well being.

===Strategies:===
-Partner with Elon Student Involvement Ambassadors to recruit student leaders for our project

-Find a place on campus to build a dog park

-Survey students to see how many pets are on campus, which kind, which breed etc.

-Figure out if it would be better for it to be public/private, student only etc.

-Partner with Burlington Animal Shelter to get the word out

='''Priority 13:  Tech Free Environment (2022)'''=

===Purpose:===
The work life balance portrayed by universities leads to an environment where people are spending a majority of their time behind screens. Our goals are to make a place where student can leave their stresses behind and come to unplug. Everyday it seems the need for a tangible place for students to unwind increases.

===Strategies:===
- interview students to see what extra things they would want in these spaces

- make quiet areas people can relax

- have a sense of community in a stress free environment

='''Priority 14:  Expanding Community Spaces on Campus (2023)'''=

===Purpose:===
The work life balance portrayed by universities leads to an environment where people are spending a majority of their time behind screens. Elon University's dorms are split up into neighborhoods, and some of the neighborhoods have small community events. Our goals are to make places where student can leave their stresses behind and come to unplug through community events and bonding with the people that they live with. Everyday it seems the need for a tangible place for students to unwind increases, and the community spaces on campus can be greatly improved and expanded.

===Strategies:===
- interview students to see what extra things they would want in these spaces

- make quiet areas people can relax

- have a sense of community in a stress free environment

='''Priority 15:  Project 2: Reworking Elon's connection sites (2023)'''=

===Purpose:===
First year students can have a lot of trouble navigating the various websites students are required to use. Some of the most notable difficult to use websites include Phoenix Connect, OnTrack, and Elon Self Service. Ideally these websites should be either combined or reworked individually to provide freshmen with the accessible tools necessary to make the transition to college smooth.

===Strategies:===
- Talk to website owners/creators to possibly redesign the layout

- Ask students what they think should change/fix on Ontrack, Moodle, Phenix Connect, Acorn App (first year students - portal)

- If students agree, show university some sort of data/poll that shows the area in need of improvement

 

='''Priority 16:  First Year Mentoring Program (2023)'''=

===Purpose:===
Students first semester of college can be an incredibly stressful time in their life. Many of the students are coming to school far away from their families, and often knowing no one. Paring students with upper class-men, and other incoming students, would allow students to make connections to people on campus before arriving. It would also provide students the ability to ask questions directly to other students who had recently been through the same experiences that will be going trough. The goal of this program would be to introduce firs year students to other students, and to try to make the transition period to college more enjoyable and relaxing.

===Strategies:===
- Pair students who are willing to be mentors with incoming students

- Change orientation groups to include more group communication before school starts

- Work with on campus organizations that have mentoring program to help form a curriculum that would allow mentors to better engage with incoming students

='''Priority 17:  Improving Student Used Locations (2023)'''=

===Purpose:===
Academic life is important at college, but the time spent outside of class unwinding can be just as important. Elon's campus has continually been expanded upon, but the pre existing spaces, while well maintained, are not updated often. The goal of this project is to bring new life to spaces used by students in an attempt to increase the spaces that students enjoy being in, on campus. By renovating commonly used student spaces, more students would be enticed to engage with the spaces on campus and to explore the resources provided by the campus.

===Strategies:===
- Interview students to see what they would like to see added to the spaces that they use

- Talk with campus staff to understand what can be changed on campus

- Interview students about what spaces they did not know about to understand what spaces are under utilized

c. increased connection with natural elements (plants, natural light, etc.)

With several maker spaces and study spots currently on campus, there is significant opportunity to leverage these existing resources in designing for an improved student study experience.

='''Priority 12:  On Campus Dog Park (2022)'''=

===Purpose:===
Many students on Elon's campus have emotional support animals as pets on campus, which at most times are dogs. These dogs can only go out of their owners dorm when their owner returns home, and for certain pet owners they might only be home once a day. The spaces dedicated for on campus animals to go, run and play are zero. This results in most animals being walked by their owner once every few days on a leash. There should be a place for animals to run, play and be on campus that does not disrupt students, but also does not disrupt animals safety and well being.

===Strategies:===
-Partner with Elon Student Involvement Ambassadors to recruit student leaders for our project

-Find a place on campus to build a dog park

-Survey students to see how many pets are on campus, which kind, which breed etc.

-Figure out if it would be better for it to be public/private, student only etc.

-Partner with Burlington Animal Shelter to get the word out

='''Priority 13:  Tech Free Environment (2022)'''=

===Purpose:===
The work life balance portrayed by universities leads to an environment where people are spending a majority of their time behind screens. Our goals are to make a place where student can leave their stresses behind and come to unplug. Everyday it seems the need for a tangible place for students to unwind increases.

===Strategies:===
- interview students to see what extra things they would want in these spaces

- make quiet areas people can relax

- have a sense of community in a stress free environment

Aidan.walsh012: /* Promotes Student Entrepreneurship and Innovation */

[[File:Heading.jpg|border|Heading.jpg]]

='''Overview'''=
<div>Founded in 1889, Elon University is a private institution with an undergraduate enrollment rate of more than 7,000 students. Currently organized into six schools: the College of Arts and Sciences, Martha and Spencer Love School of Business, School of Communications, School of Education, School of Health Sciences, and School of Law, this university allows students to decide from nearly 60 majors. While the curriculum is grounded in the traditional liberal arts and sciences, all first year students are given the option to choose among multiple programs and organizations. As of 2022, Elon University withholds more than 250 organizations ranging from academic honors to undergraduate research associations. In addition to this, Elon University is also currently ranked #1 for Study Abroad and Undergraduate Teaching, and #6 for Most Innovative University by the US News and World Report. Students and faculty members at this university are joined in classrooms with a ratio of 12:1 with the average class size being 20. All faculty and staff members in every area of expertise exhibit vast skills in research, scholarship, and academic affairs.</div><div> </div>
=='''Promotes Student Entrepreneurship and Innovation'''==

<span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Elon currently offers a major and a minor in Entrepreneurship and Innovation through the Doherty Center for Creativity, Innovation and Entrepreneurship. The Entrepreneurship and Innovation major places strong emphasis on business, startup processes, and design thinking. The Entrepreneurship and Innovation minor places a strong enphasis on the entrepreneurial process and developing the tools and abilities needed for students to create their own startups. As a registered major and department under the Love School of Business, this program prepares students to become entrepreneurs in either for-profit or social businesses. 

<span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Established in 2018, the Sankey Hall building houses Entrepreneurship and Innovation professors and staff, as well as the Doherty Center. Our promotion of I&E seeks to inspire students to create and change the world around them in a variety of majors, requiring widespread faculty support and appeals to creativity that match all kinds of students. Doherty Center Director Alyssa Martina is continuously seeking to expand interdisciplinary opportunities to students from a variety of majors. She has established numerous events and programs that are offered as interdisciplinary in focus and the Doherty Center Scholar Interns work at establishing relationships with students across campus. Its signature event is a 24-hour "hackathon" challenge, known as the Elon Innovation Challenge, where student teams from several schools collaborate to solve a wicked challenge. This past year, several universities across the East Coast joined the Challenge. Two other important annual events for the Center are the W.E Do! Women and Entrepreneurship conference and the Black Innovation Matters Conference. Both the Elon Innovation Challenge and the W.E. Do! conferences are co-chaired by a UI Fellow. 

<span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">In addition to the E&I major and the Elon Innovation Challenge, Elon University has funded the Center for Design Thinking on campus. This center works with faculty to facilitate workshops for students to learn how to use design thinking in their classes, projects and throughout their lives. Danielle Lake, the director of the Center for Design Thinking, is working on partnering with different organizations on campus, such as the CREDE and the GLC, to bring the campus together and help educate students about how design thinking can be used to create solutions to social justice issues. This is also shown through their work with Design for America, a nationally recognized organization that uses the design thinking process to bring about social change within the Elon community. Additionally, students have the opportunity to educate their peers on design thinking processes and methods as Design Thinking Catalysts with the Elon By Design initiative. The Center for Design Thinking has also partnered with the Maker Hub to host an event called Pop-Up & Play. This event focuses on helping students bring play back into their lives by using design thinking methods. The Center for Design thinking also offers a one credit winter term course available to students of all majors.

The Innovation Living Learning Community is offered to first year Innovation Scholar students. The Innovation Scholars program is a scholarship run out of the Doherty Center consisting of roughly 15 studnets in each years cohort. These students are trained in team building, the entrepreneurial mindset, and eventually are guided in creating their own venture during their time at Elon. The Innovation LLC offers these students a place to fascilitate their experiences in the program and harness these new ideas as a unit. <span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">The residentially-based experience equips participants with a strong foundation for tackling global issues and exploring big ideas. Student Made Elon is a program through the Doherty Center at Elon that highlights students who have started their own businesses. This program works with the students to promote their business and is a great opportunity for any students who are already entrepreneurs. Student Made Elon also provides students with a tent at the Elon Farmer's Market if they want to sell their products to the community. Oaks Originals is another key entrepreneurial resource for Elon students. This initiative supports student entrepreneurs in establishing a variety of ventures. Student entrepreneurs can participate in several pop-up shops and workshops throughout the year to gain hands-on experience in an entrepreneurial ecosystem. A future collaboration between the School of Communications and Oaks Originals initiative is in the works to further engage a wide range of students in entrepreneurial opportunities. The partnership will connect communication students looking to gain experience with student entrepreneurs seeking to strengthen their brand identity.

<span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">The recent addition of the Elon University Innovation Quad stands to further expand on-campus access to design thinking tools and practices. As these spaces are primarily oriented toward STEM fields, opportunities await in future development toward more interdisciplinary engagement with these innovative resources. <div> </div>

=='''Encouraging Faculty Innovation and Entrepreneurship'''==

Elon University’s faculty members curate an innovative and entrepreneurial mindset through independent projects and research publications in collaboration with students. Promoting the idea of collaboration among different departments/faculties for a holistic learning experience can help students bounce their ideas and create new innovative ideas. The small ratio of students to professors cultivates a professional and personal relationship that encourages the pursuit of learning outside of the classroom. To allow these collaborations to come to fruition, the university offers many grants and sponsorships for professors in a wide array of disciplines. Not only are research and personal projects supported, but the Center for Advancement of Teaching and Learning utilizes innovation to foster a more inclusive classroom experience and pedagogy. By advocating for these opportunities for students and faculty, innovation and entrepreneurship are widespread and recognized throughout campus. Workshops and seminars can be a helpful way to discover your inner entrepreneurial mindset by sharing insights and trends that are commonly seen through entrepreneurship. With the implementation of these strategies it can help create a vibrant entrepreneurial ecosystem within Elon, equipping students with the needed skills, resources, and opportunities they need to launch successful startups.

=='''Actively Support the University Technology Transfer Function'''==

Although we do not have anything on campus that falls into this category as of right now, one of our prior cohort's prototypes involved the addition of a new office to the "Instructional & Campus Technologies" department named "Protection for You". The office would work on informing students and faculty on patents, copyrights, and trademarks. In addition, the office would simply answer any questions students may have or guide students in the proper direction. 

=='''Facilitating University - Industry Collaboration'''==

Elon is located in the Triad and is very close to the Research Triangle. Our Student Professional Development Center works to connect students with businesses in both of these areas. In addition, Elon also hosts large job and internship fairs that bring in startups and large companies from around the US, like Deloitte and Oracle. Because Elon is surrounded by many other universities with strong research focuses, it can be difficult to attract larger research projects. Despite this struggle, Elon has been able to build meaningful relationships and provide opportunities for collaboration with some smaller local companies. For example, our Environmental Department has been involved with doing some really neat testing for products that will be sold to Kobalt. Working on similar projects with other local businesses and throughout other Elon departments is something we could definitely continue to push for as a Leadership Circle. To do this we will need to continue to build connections by reaching out to local companies to see what types of projects and research that Elon students could help progress. Additionally, because we are such a small school compared to schools like NC State, Elon could also benefit from reaching out to these other, larger universities. Creating a connection between these schools could expand the network of opportunities not only for Elon students but for college students all around North Carolina. 

=='''Engaging with Regional and Economic Development Efforts'''==

Elon has made a lot of progress in this area and our plans are to continue to make huge leaps and bounds here. The town of Elon and the surrounding area were hit hard when the textile companies left. Over the next 20 years our university has major priorities to help build up the areas around Elon and create an environment that will bring in more business and attract students and faculty. We have also invested in offices in downtown Burlington and Greensboro that are specifically geared toward community engagement, innovation, and entrepreneurship. These efforts are only possible with the support of the entire university so we plan to help out in whatever way we can. Initially it will be important to do surveys and studies on other universities that have accomplished similar goals. One example that we have looked at is Duke University, which has helped transform Durham over the years. The University has also invested capital into local education. A new elementary school, funded by Elon University, opened its doors for the first time to students in the fall of 2018. Additionally, Elon Academy, apart of Elon's Center for Access and Success, is a program that assists high school students in the area surrounding Elon. Elon Academy aims to aid families with financial need or families with little to no history in college. 

=='''Next Steps'''==

Interdisciplinary innovation (not just through business school)

*Expanding and improving I&E culture (forums, speakers, discussions, LLC, awards, more student businesses, etc.)
*Marketing (using Pendulum, career fair, and likely social media to advertise our events)
*Identify and create new sources that stimulate innovation (Expand Doherty Center, improve ENT Major and core curriculum)
*Create a Grant program for small businesses and student Entrepreneurs 

Since Elon is essentially starting from "stage 1," we must do everything we can to get more students to start businesses, non-profits, organizations, etc. and truly ingrain creativity into our culture.

='''Overview'''=
<div>Founded in 1889, Elon University is a private institution with an undergraduate enrollment rate of more than 6,000 students. Currently organized into six schools: the College of Arts and Sciences, Martha and Spencer Love School of Business, School of Communications, School of Education, School of Health Sciences, and School of Law, this university allows students to decide from nearly 60 majors. While the curriculum is grounded in the traditional liberal arts and sciences, all first year students are given the option to choose among multiple programs and organizations. As of 2022, Elon University withholds more than 250 organizations ranging from academic honors to undergraduate research associations. In addition to this, Elon University is also currently ranked #1 for Study Abroad and Undergraduate Teaching, and #6 for Most Innovative University by the US News and World Report. Students and faculty members at this university are joined in classrooms with a ratio of 12:1 with all faculty and staff members exhibiting vast skills in research, scholarship, and academic affairs.</div><div> </div>
=='''Promotes Student Entrepreneurship and Innovation'''==

<span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Elon currently offers a major and a minor in Entrepreneurship and Innovation through the Doherty Center for Creativity, Innovation and Entrepreneurship. The Entrepreneurship and Innovation major places strong emphasis on business, startup processes, and design thinking. As a registered major and department under the Love School of Business, this program prepares students to become entrepreneurs in either for-profit or social businesses. 

<span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Established in 2018, the Sankey Hall building houses Entrepreneurship and Innovation professors and staff, as well as the Doherty Center. Our promotion of I&E seeks to inspire students to create and change the world around them in a variety of majors, requiring widespread faculty support and appeals to creativity that match all kinds of students. Doherty Center Director Alyssa Martina is continuously seeking to expand interdisciplinary opportunities to students from a variety of majors. She has established numerous events and programs that are offered as interdisciplinary in focus and the Doherty Center Scholar Interns work at establishing relationships with students across campus. Its signature event is a 24-hour "hackathon" challenge, known as the Elon Innovation Challenge, where student teams from several schools collaborate to solve a wicked challenge. This past year, several universities across the East Coast joined the Challenge. Two other important annual events for the Center are the W.E Do! Women and Entrepreneurship conference and the Black Innovation Matters Conference. Both the Elon Innovation Challenge and the W.E. Do! conferences are co-chaired by a UI Fellow. 

<span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">In addition to the E&I major and the Elon Innovation Challenge, Elon University has funded the Center for Design Thinking on campus. This center works with faculty to facilitate workshops for students to learn how to use design thinking in their classes, projects and throughout their lives. Danielle Lake, the director of the Center for Design Thinking, is working on partnering with different organizations on campus, such as the CREDE and the GLC, to bring the campus together and help educate students about how design thinking can be used to create solutions to social justice issues. This is also shown through their work with Design for America, a nationally recognized organization that uses the design thinking process to bring about social change within the Elon community. Additionally, students have the opportunity to educate their peers on design thinking processes and methods as Design Thinking Catalysts with the Elon By Design initiative. The Center for Design Thinking has also partnered with the Maker Hub to host an event called Pop-Up & Play. This event focuses on helping students bring play back into their lives by using design thinking methods. The Center for Design thinking also offers a one credit winter term course available to students of all majors.

<span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">The Innovation Living Learning Community provides a cohort of first-year Elon students with early exposure to building a diverse entrepreneurial toolkit. The residentially-based experience equips participants with a strong foundation for tackling global issues and exploring big ideas. Student Made Elon is a program through the Doherty Center at Elon that highlights students who have started their own businesses. This program works with the students to promote their business and is a great opportunity for any students who are already entrepreneurs. Student Made Elon also provides students with a tent at the Elon Farmer's Market if they want to sell their products to the community. Oaks Originals is another key entrepreneurial resource for Elon students. This initiative supports student entrepreneurs in establishing a variety of ventures. Student entrepreneurs can participate in several pop-up shops and workshops throughout the year to gain hands-on experience in an entrepreneurial ecosystem. A future collaboration between the School of Communications and Oaks Originals initiative is in the works to further engage a wide range of students in entrepreneurial opportunities. The partnership will connect communication students looking to gain experience with student entrepreneurs seeking to strengthen their brand identity.

<span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">The recent addition of the Elon University Innovation Quad stands to further expand on-campus access to design thinking tools and practices. As these spaces are primarily oriented toward STEM fields, opportunities await in future development toward more interdisciplinary engagement with these innovative resources. <div> </div>

=='''Encouraging Faculty Innovation and Entrepreneurship'''==

Elon University’s faculty members curate an innovative and entrepreneurial mindset through independent projects and research publications in collaboration with students. The small ratio of students to professors cultivates a professional and personal relationship that encourages the pursuit of learning outside of the classroom. To allow these collaborations to come to fruition, the university offers many grants and sponsorships for professors in a wide array of disciplines. Not only are research and personal projects supported, but the Center for Advancement of Teaching and Learning utilizes innovation to foster a more inclusive classroom experience and pedagogy. By advocating for these opportunities for students and faculty, innovation and entrepreneurship are widespread and recognized throughout campus. 

=='''Actively Support the University Technology Transfer Function'''==

Although we do not have anything on campus that falls into this category as of right now, one of our prior cohort's prototypes involved the addition of a new office to the "Instructional & Campus Technologies" department named "Protection for You". The office would work on informing students and faculty on patents, copyrights, and trademarks. In addition, the office would simply answer any questions students may have or guide students in the proper direction. 

=='''Facilitating University - Industry Collaboration'''==

Elon is located in the Triad and is very close to the Research Triangle. Our Student Professional Development Center works to connect students with businesses in both of these areas. In addition, Elon also hosts large job and internship fairs that bring in startups and large companies from around the US, like Deloitte and Oracle. Because Elon is surrounded by many other universities with strong research focuses, it can be difficult to attract larger research projects. Despite this struggle, Elon has been able to build meaningful relationships and provide opportunities for collaboration with some smaller local companies. For example, our Environmental Department has been involved with doing some really neat testing for products that will be sold to Kobalt. Working on similar projects with other local businesses and throughout other Elon departments is something we could definitely continue to push for as a Leadership Circle. To do this we will need to continue to build connections by reaching out to local companies to see what types of projects and research that Elon students could help progress. Additionally, because we are such a small school compared to schools like NC State, Elon could also benefit from reaching out to these other, larger universities. Creating a connection between these schools could expand the network of opportunities not only for Elon students but for college students all around North Carolina. 

=='''Engaging with Regional and Economic Development Efforts'''==

Elon has made a lot of progress in this area and our plans are to continue to make huge leaps and bounds here. The town of Elon and the surrounding area were hit hard when the textile companies left. Over the next 20 years our university has major priorities to help build up the areas around Elon and create an environment that will bring in more business and attract students and faculty. We have also invested in offices in downtown Burlington and Greensboro that are specifically geared toward community engagement, innovation, and entrepreneurship. These efforts are only possible with the support of the entire university so we plan to help out in whatever way we can. Initially it will be important to do surveys and studies on other universities that have accomplished similar goals. One example that we have looked at is Duke University, which has helped transform Durham over the years. The University has also invested capital into local education. A new elementary school, funded by Elon University, opened its doors for the first time to students in the fall of 2018. Additionally, Elon Academy, apart of Elon's Center for Access and Success, is a program that assists high school students in the area surrounding Elon. Elon Academy aims to aid families with financial need or families with little to no history in college. 

=='''Next Steps'''==

Interdisciplinary innovation (not just through business school)

*Expanding and improving I&E culture (forums, speakers, discussions, LLC, awards, more student businesses, etc.)
*Marketing (using Pendulum, career fair, and likely social media to advertise our events)
*Identifying all possible sources that can stimulate innovation (for funding, advice, etc.)
*Identify and create new sources that stimulate innovation (Expand Doherty Center, improve ENT Major and core curriculum)
*Create a Grant program for small businesses and student Entrepreneurs 

Since Elon is essentially starting from "stage 1," we must do everything we can to get more students to start businesses, non-profits, organizations, etc. and truly ingrain creativity into our culture.
