<span style="font-size:small;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span id="docs-internal-guid-4472d48c-7fff-bb83-fb94-ed2f2a5d2e4b"><span style="color: rgb(29, 33, 38); font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">The Hynes Institute for Entrepreneurship & Innovation was established in 2017 due to a generous $15 million gift to Iona from James Hynes, '69, '01H, and Anne Marie Hynes. The Hynes Institute is an emerging force that strives to prepare the future generation of entrepreneurs, innovators, and leaders to move the world. It also ensures that students develop the knowledge, skills, and experience necessary to create, lead, and innovate in an ever-changing global economy.</span></span></span></span>

Now, the Hynes Institute is located at the center of campus, Spellman Hall where students and faculty are able to cowork and work on their business ventures. CEO, the Entreprenuership club runs out of this space, alongside with the activities and workshops offered. GaelVentures located in downtown New Rochelle is our student and community incubator for students of all majors and backgrounds.</span></span></span></span>

<span style="font-size:small;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span id="docs-internal-guid-4472d48c-7fff-bb83-fb94-ed2f2a5d2e4b"><span style="color: rgb(29, 33, 38); font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">With the LaPenta School of Business being one of the more prominent schools at Iona, often, it's easier for students to intertwine their business mindsets/endeavors with entrepreneurship and innovation. However, outside of the business school, there are departments in which an entrepreneurial mindset is also encouraged such as in the School of Arts and Science with the graduate occupational therapy and computer science program. Iona also offers a wide selection of courses that can be a foundational step for the student innovative process. With an entrepreneurial approach, one can use the skills learned from E&I courses to innovate within their chosen field. Some of the tools used in these workshops include design thinking through the use empathy mapping to identify the problem using problem-solve and prototyping to come up with solutions.</span></span></span></span>

<span style="font-size:small;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span id="docs-internal-guid-4472d48c-7fff-bb83-fb94-ed2f2a5d2e4b"><span style="color: rgb(29, 33, 38); font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">A few of the workshops the Hynes Institute for Entrepreneurship and Innovation hosts include 3D Printing and Storytelling with our design in residence Mr. Rob Kissner. 3D printing is a relatively new technology that disrupts the traditional way of prototyping and 3D printers can be used for making gadgets out of PLA filament. In addition to the 3D workshops, the Hynes Institute also offers Arduino workshops where students learn to interact with different open-sourced electronic objects.</span></span></span></span>

<span style="font-size:small;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span id="docs-internal-guid-4472d48c-7fff-bb83-fb94-ed2f2a5d2e4b"><span style="color: rgb(29, 33, 38); font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">The entrepreneurial mindset has recently amplified at Iona in which multiple new entrepreneurship and innovation courses have been introduced to our students. Introduction into Ideation and Design Thinking, Introduction to Entrepreneurship and Innovation: Practice and Mindset, as well as Ethics and Entrepreneurial Leadership are 3 courses that have boosted entrepreneurial thinking throughout campus. We also have 5 new graduate courses that study Ideation and Design Thinking, Business Modeling, Financing and Sustaining Entrepreneurial Ventures, and a Studio Course that facilitates the process of developing an entrepreneurial venture, from idea to launch, with the help and support of Iona College’s incubator space, GaelVentures.</span></span></span></span>

==<span style="font-size:small;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span id="docs-internal-guid-4472d48c-7fff-bb83-fb94-ed2f2a5d2e4b"><span style="color: rgb(29, 33, 38); font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">''CEO at Iona - The Entrepreneurship Club''</span></span></span></span>==

<span style="font-size:small;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span id="docs-internal-guid-4472d48c-7fff-bb83-fb94-ed2f2a5d2e4b"><span style="color: rgb(29, 33, 38); font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Another feature of Iona College and the Hynes Institute is the extracurricular club that promotes entrepreneurship. CEO (Collegiate Entrepreneurs’ Organization) at Iona - The Entrepreneurship Club, formerly known as Iona’s Entrepreneurship Club, gives students the ability to network with like minded peers from different focus areas. This helps students build teams in which each person can effectively contribute under a role, and heavily focuses on co-working and problem solving.</span></span></span></span>

This gave students a “Shark Tank” like experience where they could get feedback on their ideas and prepare for future opportunities.</span></span></span></span>

<br /><span style="font-size:small;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span id="docs-internal-guid-4472d48c-7fff-bb83-fb94-ed2f2a5d2e4b"><span style="color: rgb(29, 33, 38); font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">The Idea Hackathon, hosted by the Hynes Institute for Entrepreneurship and Innovation, was a successful event as well. Students were able to develop skills in problem solving, design thinking, and collaboration. There were also many alumni and mentors present for students to obtain knowledge from. The 2020 theme was centered around how the university could promote student engagement amidst the COVID-19 pandemic.</span></span></span></span>

Being less than 22 miles from Midtown Manhattan, world-class internships and job opportunities are within reach as well as opportunities outside of New York City. The opportunities at Iona College are limitless and with an entrepreneurial mindset, one can take advantage of Iona’s resources and embark on a journey to success. The new Hynes Institute offers internships as well.</span></span></span></span>

Now, the Hynes Institute is located at the center of campus, Spellman Hall where students and faculty are able to cowork and work on their business ventures. CEO, the Entreprenuership club runs out of this space, alongside with the activities and workshops offered. GaelVentures located in downtown New Rochelle is our student and community incubator for students of all majors and backgrounds.</span></span></span></span>

However, outside of the business school, there are departments in which an entrepreneurial mindset is also encouraged such as in the School of Arts and Science with the graduate occupational therapy and computer science program. Iona also offers a wide selection of courses that can be a foundational step for the student innovative process. With an entrepreneurial approach, one can use the skills learned from E&I courses to innovate within their chosen field. Some of the tools used in these workshops include design thinking through the use empathy mapping to identify the problem using problem-solve and prototyping to come up with solutions.</span></span></span></span>

In addition to the 3D workshops, the Hynes Institute also offers Arduino workshops where students learn to interact with different open-sourced electronic objects.</span></span></span></span>

Introduction into Ideation and Design Thinking, Introduction to Entrepreneurship and Innovation: Practice and Mindset, as well as Ethics and Entrepreneurial Leadership are 3 courses that have boosted entrepreneurial thinking throughout campus. We also have 5 new graduate courses that study Ideation and Design Thinking, Business Modeling, Financing and Sustaining Entrepreneurial Ventures, and a Studio Course that facilitates the process of developing an entrepreneurial venture, from idea to launch, with the help and support of Iona College’s incubator space, GaelVentures.</span></span></span></span>

CEO (Collegiate Entrepreneurs’ Organization) at Iona - The Entrepreneurship Club, formerly known as Iona’s Entrepreneurship Club, gives students the ability to network with like minded peers from different focus areas. This helps students build teams in which each person can effectively contribute under a role, and heavily focuses on co-working and problem solving.</span></span></span></span>

This gave students a “Shark Tank” like experience where they could get feedback on their ideas and prepare for future opportunities.</span></span></span></span>

Students were able to develop skills in problem solving, design thinking, and collaboration. There were also many alumni and mentors present for students to obtain knowledge from. The 2020 theme was centered around how the university could promote student engagement amidst the COVID-19 pandemic.</span></span></span></span>

=Overview=
<div>Iona College is a private, four-year Catholic college in New Rochelle, NY. In 1940, it was founded by the Congregation of Christian Brothers and today offers more than 60 bachelor's programs and 40 minors. Iona is comprised of the School of Arts & Science and the LaPenta School of Business. The institution has approximately 4,000 undergraduate and graduate students enrolled in it.</div><div><br /></div><div>The Hynes Institute for Entrepreneurship & Innovation was established in 2017 due to a generous $15 million gift to Iona from James Hynes, '69, '01H, and Anne Marie Hynes. The Hynes Institute is an emerging force that strives to prepare the future generation of entrepreneurs, innovators, and leaders to move the world. It also ensures that students develop the knowledge, skills, and experience necessary to create, lead, and innovate in an ever-changing global economy.</div><div><br /></div><div>At the Hynes Institute for Entrepreneurship & Innovation, their mission is “to create and foster an interdisciplinary community of Iona students who engage in entrepreneurial learning opportunities to develop an entrepreneurial mindset."</div><div>

<span style="font-size: medium">'''Strategic Priorities 2021'''</span>

<span style="font-size: medium">''Strategy #1:'' Creating Event Portal to increase accessibility to students about student activities.</span>

<span style="font-size: medium">Reaching out to the VP of Marketing and Communications.</span>

*<big>After stakeholder meeting with Mary Clare Reilley, has already gone out live on the student portal.</big>

*<big>Graduate students will now be added to the Listserv for campus activities.</big>

<br /><span style="font-size: medium">''Strategy #2:'' Bridging the gap between cohorts of undergraduate and graduate students.</span>

<span style="font-size: medium">There is a lack of communication regarding campus wide collaboration. We would like to help students have a sense of belonging to their campus.</span>

<span style="font-size: medium">''Strategy #3:'' Fully utilize campus resources (campus screens throughout campus) to instantly communicate events and increase awareness. </span>

<span style="font-size: medium">Overall, IONA is known for its sports and connecting students through campus screens and social media. There is under-utilized dead space on campus and a lack of awareness. </span>

<span style="font-size: medium">'''Strategic Priorities 2020'''</span>
</div><span style="font-size: medium">''Strategy #1:'' Creating community by increasing interdisciplinary programs and events that incorporate a wider range of knowledge.</span>

<span style="font-size: medium">Reaching out to OSD and propose a virtual or in-person event when all disciplines are welcome to showcase their field.</span>

<span style="font-size: medium">''Strategy #2:'' Increase communication between professors and students regarding research opportunities and events </span>

<span style="font-size: medium">There is a lack of communication regarding professor's outside endeavors and research that could be more beneficial for students and connecting them to other professionals in their field.</span>

<span style="font-size: medium">''Strategy #3:'' Facilitate all of the information regarding campus organizations and club events into one, simple, easy access hub or app.</span>

<span style="font-size: medium">Reach out to key stakeholders on campus (James Mustich, Provost Wheeler) and propose the idea for an all-inclusive app that allows clubs to post their events for that week and allow for interaction of students and convenience in seeing all events happening on campus </span>

===<span style="font-size: medium">Strategic Priorities 2019</span>===

{{#Widget:Youtube|id=1Ygsz43cXpk}}

<span style="font-size: medium">''Strategy #1:'' Academic Social Media</span>

<span style="font-size: medium">Develop a platform for Iona students to build relationships with each other and gain mentors through faculty and successful alumni.  It will be promoted through acceptance letters/emails, orientation, promotional events and fliers.  Students will then sign up to our schools platform to stay connected and receive support on their track towards their diploma.  This platform will be using an existing website implemented by the Hynes Institute called startup tree.</span>

<big>Strategy #2: Introduce “Design Thinking Tasks” at Freshmen Orientations</big>
<div><big>Orientation leaders would be trained with premade lesson plans facilitated by us.  Our lesson plans will be concise and consist of design thinking tasks/challenges.  Ideally, the freshmen would work together in groups to figure out creative ways to solve problems through multiple design thinking methods and challenges.  This will be used to introduce entrepreneurship and help motivate them to get more involved with entrepreneurship on campus in the future.   </big></div><div><big>Initially, we would train our orientation leaders with what the lesson plans we made consist of along with actually teaching them about entrepreneurship to ensure an authentic reciprocation from the orientation leaders to the incoming freshmen.  We would collaborate with the orientation leaders and faculty and explain to them the lesson plan and how it could be incorporated with their activities.  Through prior training of the orientation leaders before the actual orientation this would ensure the feasibility of it continuing annually.  </big></div><div><big>''Strategy #3: Mix it Up…''</big>
<big>The syllabus is arguably the most important part of any course or lecture at any college or university setting. If it is the first thing that is reviewed and/or looked at to get a general idea of the lecture/course structure, why not incorporate entrepreneurship and innovation in some way and tie it into the task at hand. Keeping in contact with faculty as well as the administration would allow the students to produce and think outside the box despite the major.  Working along the side of professors to ensure clarity of how we could collaboratively integrate entrepreneurship within their preset topics on their syllabus or how we can incorporate a design thinking method to fit their lesson.  This is mixing up the traditional ways of lecturing to a more fun, interactive and creative way to learn. </big>
</div><div><big>''Strategy #4: Introducing Innovative Games''</big>
<big>After overviewing the orientation schedule, we are able to see that innovative games aren’t being introduced to incoming students. Playing innovative games are a  fun way to build confidence, be creative, collaborate and  find your passions. Some games that can be played include giving  students legos or jenga pieces in to spark creative building. Giving students “The Big Creativity Can”, or  Play-Doh that can help them  prototype ideas they may have already. A Marshmallow Challenge where students work in teams to create the tallest tower with only string, tape, spaghetti and marshmallows. The Wallet Challenge were students team up to design a wallet suitable to the partners needs, These innovative games  allow  students to be introduced  to creative thinking  through simple objects. </big>
</div><div><big>''Strategy #5''</big>
<big>We can ideate with our stakeholders the mapping of executing a design challenge program at orientation. We can pitch this program glimpse into entrepreneurship during freshman orientation. So that new students on campus are more comfortable by being exposed to entrepreneurship in a fun, creative and challenging way. Also incorporating an activity like this will provide variety to the current schedule on campus where incoming freshmen are simply consuming information. This program will be a hands-on activity that will be effective towards community building and communication.</big>
</div><div><big>''Strategy #6: Live Questionnaire with...''</big></div><div><big>Orientation at Iona is a 2-day event allowing students to get situated and comfortable with the environment around them. There are 6 sessions that tackle different events on the first and  on the second day. This strategic priority would be great as it is very inexpensive and only requires fitting in with the schedule already provided for orientation and sitting in a designated area to engage the freshman. These activities will be taken out strategically and in a way that would engage the freshman’s recollection of their favorite changemakers or entrepreneurs what they liked about the entrepreneurs’ innovative solution to their problem. </big></div><div><big>This in turn, would create a sense of possibility at the campus with the students constantly being reminded that they have a career ahead of them and should decide to use it wisely. With these questions and activities and activities at the orientation they would be asked what they would have done if they were in the shoes of the entrepreneur being described at hand. Thus, creating more senses of self-empowerment, opportunity and the ability to envision.</big></div><div>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Ygsz43cXpk</div>

{{#Widget:Youtube|id=1Ygsz43cXpk}}

<span style="font-size: medium">''Strategy #1:'' Academic Social Media</span>

<span style="font-size: medium">Develop a platform for Iona students to build relationships with each other and gain mentors through faculty and successful alumni.  It will be promoted through acceptance letters/emails, orientation, promotional events and fliers.  Students will then sign up to our schools platform to stay connected and receive support on their track towards their diploma.  This platform will be using an existing website implemented by the Hynes Institute called startup tree.</span>

<big>Strategy #2: Introduce “Design Thinking Tasks” at Freshmen Orientations</big>
<div><big>Orientation leaders would be trained with premade lesson plans facilitated by us.  Our lesson plans will be concise and consist of design thinking tasks/challenges.  Ideally, the freshmen would work together in groups to figure out creative ways to solve problems through multiple design thinking methods and challenges.  This will be used to introduce entrepreneurship and help motivate them to get more involved with entrepreneurship on campus in the future.   </big></div><div><big>Initially, we would train our orientation leaders with what the lesson plans we made consist of along with actually teaching them about entrepreneurship to ensure an authentic reciprocation from the orientation leaders to the incoming freshmen.  We would collaborate with the orientation leaders and faculty and explain to them the lesson plan and how it could be incorporated with their activities.  Through prior training of the orientation leaders before the actual orientation this would ensure the feasibility of it continuing annually.  </big></div><div><big>''Strategy #3: Mix it Up…''</big>
<big>The syllabus is arguably the most important part of any course or lecture at any college or university setting. If it is the first thing that is reviewed and/or looked at to get a general idea of the lecture/course structure, why not incorporate entrepreneurship and innovation in some way and tie it into the task at hand. Keeping in contact with faculty as well as the administration would allow the students to produce and think outside the box despite the major.  Working along the side of professors to ensure clarity of how we could collaboratively integrate entrepreneurship within their preset topics on their syllabus or how we can incorporate a design thinking method to fit their lesson.  This is mixing up the traditional ways of lecturing to a more fun, interactive and creative way to learn. </big>

<span style="font-size: medium">Strategy #1: Academic Social Media</span>

<span style="font-size: medium">Develop a platform for Iona students to build relationships with each other and gain mentors through faculty and successful alumni.  It will be promoted through acceptance letters/emails, orientation, promotional events and fliers.  Students will then sign up to our schools platform to stay connected and receive support on their track towards their diploma.  This platform will be using an existing website implemented by the Hynes Institute called startup tree.</span>

Strategy #2: Introduce “Design Thinking Tasks” at Freshmen Orientations
<div>Orientation leaders would be trained with premade lesson plans facilitated by us.  Our lesson plans will be concise and consist of design thinking tasks/challenges.  Ideally, the freshmen would work together in groups to figure out creative ways to solve problems through multiple design thinking methods and challenges.  This will be used to introduce entrepreneurship and help motivate them to get more involved with entrepreneurship on campus in the future.   </div><div>Initially, we would train our orientation leaders with what the lesson plans we made consist of along with actually teaching them about entrepreneurship to ensure an authentic reciprocation from the orientation leaders to the incoming freshmen.  We would collaborate with the orientation leaders and faculty and explain to them the lesson plan and how it could be incorporated with their activities.  Through prior training of the orientation leaders before the actual orientation this would ensure the feasibility of it continuing annually.  </div><div>Strategy #3: Mix it Up…
The syllabus is arguably the most important part of any course or lecture at any college or university setting. If it is the first thing that is reviewed and/or looked at to get a general idea of the lecture/course structure, why not incorporate entrepreneurship and innovation in some way and tie it into the task at hand. Keeping in contact with faculty as well as the administration would allow the students to produce and think outside the box despite the major.  Working along the side of professors to ensure clarity of how we could collaboratively integrate entrepreneurship within their preset topics on their syllabus or how we can incorporate a design thinking method to fit their lesson.  This is mixing up the traditional ways of lecturing to a more fun, interactive and creative way to learn. 
</div><div>Strategy #4: Introducing Innovative Games</div><div>After overviewing the orientation schedule, we are able to see that innovative games aren’t being introduced to incoming students. Playing innovative games are a  fun way to build confidence, be creative, collaborate and  find your passions. Some games that can be played include giving  students legos or jenga pieces in to spark creative building. Giving students “The Big Creativity Can”, or  Play-Doh that can help them  prototype ideas they may have already. A Marshmallow Challenge where students work in teams to create the tallest tower with only string, tape, spaghetti and marshmallows. The Wallet Challenge were students team up to design a wallet suitable to the partners needs, These innovative games  allow  students to be introduced  to creative thinking  through simple objects. </div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>Strategy #5</div><div><br /></div><div>We can ideate with our stakeholders the mapping of executing a design challenge program at orientation. We can pitch this program glimpse into entrepreneurship during freshman orientation. So that new students on campus are more comfortable by being exposed to entrepreneurship in a fun, creative and challenging way. Also incorporating an activity like this will provide variety to the current schedule on campus where incoming freshmen are simply consuming information. This program will be a hands-on activity that will be effective towards community building and communication.</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>Strategy #6: Live Questionnaire with...</div><div><br /></div><div>Orientation at Iona is a 2-day event allowing students to get situated and comfortable with the environment around them.

These activities will be taken out strategically and in a way that would engage the freshman’s recollection of their favorite changemakers or entrepreneurs what they liked about the entrepreneurs’ innovative solution to their problem. </div><div>This in turn, would create a sense of possibility at the campus with the students constantly being reminded that they have a career ahead of them and should decide to use it wisely.

===Strategic Priorities 2018===

Strategy #1: Introduce a campus wide Club Competition

Team Leader: CEO at Iona - The Entrepreneurship Club

Reach out to the Office of Student Development and collaborate with the Hynes Institute to create competition guidelines

Submit a funding proposal to the Office of Student Development and the Hynes Institute for Entrepreneurship & Innovation to secure funding for the prize(s)

Reach out to club presidents and have them organize teams within their club

 

Strategy #2: Introduce a "Flip It to Win It" Challenge

Team Leader: TBD

Incorporate this challenge into the Columba Cornerstone class, a class all freshmen or first-year students take

Have professors include this challenge into the course in a way that relates to the theme of the Columba Cornerstone class

In one class session, have the professor guide students through an ideation session, teach them how to analyze an environment, and have them identify a problem(s). In another class, have the professor teach students about how to pitch and sell an idea, product, or service.

 

Strategy #3: Community Sales Initiative for a Sustainable Future

Team Leader: TBD

Residential Hall Directors will be contacted in order to implement this plan on campus; They will then relay the message to their students for at least a week, and then the project will begin.

Post Flyers in all residence halls and buildings, making everyone aware of the campus-wide competition

Residential Hall Directors let tell RA’s to spread awareness at floor meetings

Get list of all competing floors throughout campus

RA’s must bring recyclables from each day to a pickup location in their building

 

Strategy #4: Giant “Marshmallow Challenge”

Resource talk:How to create a student prototyping fund

2021-09-02T02:15:31Z

Aishaninalla: /* Great idea especially for student entrepreneurs */ new section

This was great! I'm very fortunate to attend the Univerity of St. Thomas in Saint Paul, Minnesota, where they make these resources really visible and accessible. One question that I have (that doesn't pertain to funding), is what advice may you recommend to students seeking legal advice for their prototype (patents, trademarks, etc..)?

== Great idea especially for student entrepreneurs ==

Some of my classmates and I from the occupational therapy program at IONA actually participated in the idea challenge back in the spring. We invented a product that could help the elderly called the Pocketarm which provided accessibility and helped maintain independence. However, our biggest hurdle during the competition was to describe our product well enough for the public to understand. SInce we did not have a student prototyping fund in our school at least for non-business/entrepreneurial students; it was too expensive to create a prototype and instead we used play-dough to help visualize our product. I feel that had we been able to produce an actual product, we would have succeeded better in the competition. Regardless, it would be a great initiative in schools to help them get comfortable exploring new materials where the burden of cost to produce is not there.
