== Promoting student innovation and entrepreneurship ==

Cal Poly creates an ecosystem of entrepreneurship which allows those from the mildly interested to the die-hard serial entrepreneur to explore the discipline; often you're shipped at their own pace. At the grassroots level, we have Cal Poly Entrepreneurs (CPE). CPE is a club on campus that holds biweekly meetings featuring local and nonlocal entrepreneurial speakers, and hosts workshops at staggered biweekly meetings. CPE is the main resource for reaching out and marketing innovation to the general student body. In addition, innovation has been prompted through advertising the concentration at the college's Open House, through marketing for events held by the Center for Innovation and Entrepreneurship (CIE), and through word-of-mouth from the pretty cool events hosted by both CPE and CIE. What Cal Poly lacks is an overarching theme that implores all majors to implement entrepreneurial and innovative thinking whether they are going into a startup or not.

== Encouraging faculty innovation and entrepreneurship ==

Cal Poly is not a research facility and also does not put a lot of pressure on faculty for innovation and entrepreneurship. But, faculty are always welcome to participate in any of the workshops, Forums, events, And most other resources intended for students. And we have had faculty from the mechanical engineering department for example pitch a product. This is another area in which Cal poly has room (A lot of room) to grow.

== Actively supporting the university technology transfer function ==

There're not any TTO or TLO offices officially at Cal Poly but there is a technology park called C3RP which officially takes on these same functions in the name of the uniersity. The fuction of helping ideas tranfer to industry is also appearant in many of our competitions and the general environment that exists thus far. Such examples of this can be found in numerous successes out of innovation quest including YC admitant "iCracked". The goal of our programs are focused on the successful application of entrepreneurial skills, in the business discipline this usually alligns with the students goals as "become a successful Business". As such that is an outcome we hope to facilitate through providing resources like C3RP and a general focus on acheiving that goal.

== Facilitating university-industry collaboration ==

Cal Poly offers internships with successful alumni student startups, and through the C3 RP Technology Park facilitates licensor licensee relationships. Of course there are A plethora of internship opportunities for companies like Apple or Google, But as far as grassroots and intrapreneur internships go these are the two main resources so far. The other focus that we are currently trying to build out is a program called start up showcase which is in essence a career fair in which startups can find employees. This resource brings in three levels of start up: current student projects/Start ups with no traction, current students start ups with good traction, And recently graduated alumni start ups with moderate to great traction, we will also be hosting silicon Valley startups as premium members of the show case.

== Engaging with regional and local economic development efforts ==

There are no programs specifically for regional and local economic development efforts at this time. That is not to say that it is not a priority of our ecosystem as well as our students and their startups. One local startup employs junvinile delinquents in a program to build their simple product and allow them an honest job with mentoring from the two army enlisted founders.

Current favorite quote: "I do not fear not being successful, I fear not being great"

Current favorite poem:

Good Timber by Douglas Malloch

The tree that never had to fight For sun and sky and air and light, But stood out in the open plain And always got its share of rain, Never became a forest king But lived and died a scrubby thing.

The man who never had to toil To gain and farm his patch of soil, Who never had to win his share Of sun and sky and light and air, Never became a manly man But lived and died as he began.

Good timber does not grow with ease: The stronger wind, the stronger trees; The further sky, the greater length; The more the storm, the more the strength. By sun and cold, by rain and snow, In trees and men good timbers grow.

Where thickest lies the forest growth, We find the patriarchs of both. And they hold counsel with the stars Whose broken branches show the scars Of many winds and much of strife. This is the common law of life.

[[File:Solomonalolga.jpg]]My name is Solomon Alolga and I'm currently an Accounting and Finance major at Berea College, Kentucky. I was born in Ghana, West Africa and moved to the United States in 2009 to attend Leesburg High School as an exhcnage scholar through the Youth Exhance and Study Program (YES), sponsored by the U.S. Department of State. While in Florida, I volunteered at local schools and taught Ghanaian history to students. I also served as a summer counsellor for a nearby summer camp in 2010. After graduation, I moved to Kentucky to study at Berea College.I am very passionate about entrepreneurship and technology. At Berea, I am a Fellow of the Entrepreneurship for Public Good, a pretigious program that trains student entrepreneurs on campus to work on strategies to develop solutions to the most pressing needs of the Appalachia region.  On campus, I am also involved with Enactus, formerly called Students in Free Entreprises(SIFE) and served as the president from the 2013 to 2014 academic year. I am very excited to be a part of the University Innovation Fellows program. I hope that I will gain valuable knowledge, get to hear the stories of other student entrepreneurs, and discover how I can create an ecosystem on campus that encourages students to get involved in entrepreneurship and innovation.

[[File:Ali Djire.jpg|thumb]]

My name is Ali Djire and I am currently a Junior Business Administration and Agriculture double major at Berea College.  I was born and raised in Burkina Faso, also known as “the Country of Upright Men," up until 2009 when I joined the African Leadership Academy in South Africa to further my education.

     The African Leadership Academy (ALA), which is a Pan-African school seeking to develop the next generation of leaders, is a prestigious school that gathers the brightest young people from all over the African continent .  For a period of two years, ALA provides students with an intense education in Leadership, Entrepreneurship, African Studies as well as the Cambridge A-level. Upon completion of my education at ALA, I embarked on another journey to Berea College in Berea, Kentucky. A historic school that is not only committed to excellence but also equal opportunity for all, Berea has provided me with a great opportunity for self-awareness, service and leadership.

      The work-study program at Berea enables me to enhance my professional development while nurturing my work ethic. Additionally, my involvement with the Student Government Association, the African Students Association and the Mortar Board Honor Society has added a different flavor to my understanding of service and leadership. In fact, it only took me a few months to understand that great leaders are primarily great at providing services. Besides academics and labor, I stay active while having fun. I am part of the school track and field team and the ultimate Frisbee team.

= Overview =

Washington State University is a college that focuses on programs and opportunities in innovation for the student body. All the programs offered on the campus are focused around specific disciplines and give each student the opportunity to network within their field of interest. Even though Washington State University has limited connections due to its location, there is a strong alumni base that offers various opportunities to students.  {{#Widget:Prezis|id=ewpo7wstbtur}}

= Strategic Plan #1: Focusing on available opportunities =

These opportunities already exist on campus and have the potential to shift the way WSU teaches I&E in the classroom.

=== Resource Nights: ===

Resource Nights are part of a 6-week program that offers students the chance to talk to alumni who have created start-ups. They are held in the Spring and run the first 6 weeks into the Spring semester. The speakers' backgrounds are varied and they offer valuable insight on various topics. This program is limited to students who are taking specific courses at WSU. The goal would be to open this up to all disciplines on the campus and give students within STEM programs the opportunities to gain the same knowledge. 

Plan of action:

*Work with the College of Business and Engineering to gain speakers and to network
*Find local businesses that will support the events

=== Harold Frank Entreprenuership Program:  ===

[http://www.cea.wsu.edu/entrepreneurship The Harold Frank Engineering Entrepreneurship Institute] is made up of junior-level engineering and business students who are interested in technological entrepreneurship. The program aims to give students the tools and experiences they need to pursue their ideas. This program also promotes students to be involved on-campus and apply for the business competition offered in the spring. It focuses on creating cohesion between the college of engineering and the college of business. This program gives the students a real experience of the process of working with others with different backgrounds while getting the experience of starting a business from scratch. To be a part of this particular program, there is an application process; however, a majority of the classes in this program are offered to all students. The goal is to make students more aware of the courses within this program that available to them.

= Strategic Plan #2: Becoming more innovated =

These plans focus on what can happen within the next year at WSU. 

=== Innovated Space: ===

At WSU, there is a lack of creativity within engineering. Many students feel there is not a place to create and that most courses have trained the students to sit at a desk. If an innovation space is created on the WSU campus it will help to promote excitement in STEM programs and will inspire students to reach beyond the classroom. A plan of action has already been taken on by the WSU campus to make this feasible. A proposal by a professor has been submitted to the university for approval of a particular space on campus that will accommodate the needs of students and will be centered in the engineering hub. With this plan moving forward, a space should be obtained and ready for use next year. 

=== TedX: ===

WSU this hosting its first TedX. The goal will be to continue this event annually. TedX offers WSU the opportunity to create a community on our campus and share thoughts on innovation to inspire the next generation. The plan of action is to apply for a TedX license and come up with a plan using the TedX manual. The hardest part of planning a TedX at our campus is finding speakers and sponsors, due to our campus's location.  ===

= Overview =

Washington State University is a college that focuses on programs and oppertunities in innovation for the student body. All the programs offered on the campus are focused around specific disciplines and give each student the opportunity to network within their field of interest. Even though Washington State University has limited connections due to location, there is a strong alumni base that offers various oppertunities to students.  {{#Widget:Prezis|id=ewpo7wstbtur}}

= Strategic Plan #1: Focusing on available opportunities =

These oppertunities already exist on campus and have the potential to shift the way WSU teaches IE in the classroom.

== Resource Nights: ==

Resource nights are part of a 6 week program that offers students the chance to talk to alumni that have created start-ups. They are held in the spring and run the first 6 weeks into the spring semester. The background of the speakers are varied and they offer valuable insight of various topics. This program is limited to students that are taking specific courses at WSU. The goal would be to open this up to all disciplines on the campus and give students within STEM programs the oppertunities to gain the same knowledge. 

Plan of action:

*Work with the college of business and engineering to gain speakers and network
*find local businesses that will support the events

== Harold Frank Entreprenuership Program:  ==

The Harold Frank Engineering Entrepreneurship Institute is made up of junior-level engineering and business students who are interested in technological entrepreneurship. The program aims to give students the tools and experiences they need to pursue their ideas. This program also promotes students to involved on the campus and apply for the business competition offered in the spring. It focuses on bringing cohesion between the college of engineering and the college of business. This program gives the students a real experience of the process of working with others with different backgrounds while getting the experience of starting a business from scratch. To be a part of this particular program there is an application process, however a majority of the classes in this program are offered to all students. The goal is make students more aware of courses within this program that available to them.

== Strategic Plan #2: Becoming more innovated ==

These plans focus on what can happen within the next year at WSU. 

=== Innovated Space: ===

At WSU there is a lack of creativity within engineering. Many students feel there is not a place to create and that most courses have trained the students to sit at a desk. If an innovation space is created on the WSU campus it will help to promote excitement in STEM programs and will inspire students to reach beyond the classroom. A plan of action has already been taken on the WSU campus to make this feasible. A proposal by a Professor has been submitted to the University for approval of a particular space of campus that will accommodate the needs of students and centered in the engineering hub. With this plan moving forward a space should be obtained and ready for use next year. 

=== TedX: ===

WSU this hosting its first TedX. The goal would be to continue this event annual. TedX offers WSU the opportunity to create a community on our campus and share thoughts on innovation to inspire the next generation. The plan of action is to apply for a TedX license and plan through the TedX manual. The hardest part of planning a TedX at our campus is finding speakers and sponsors due to our campuses location.  ===

The Association of Public and Land-grant Universities Office for Access and Success (OAS) announced the Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU) Innovation and Entrepreneurship Collaborative (IEC). The HBCU Innovation and Entrepreneurship Collaborative will be a cohort of 15 HBCUs (both private and public) that are committed to participating in a multi-year collaboration that will foster innovation, commercialization and entrepreneurship on their respective campuses. This collaborative will build upon the momentum that was established by the UNCF lead 2013 HBCU Innovation Summit that was held at Stanford University.

Virginia State University (VSU) is one of the selected universities that will have the opportunity to participate in a collaborative community seeking to increase innovation and entrepreneurship across disciplines (i.e., Agriculture, Business, Science, Mathematics, Engineering and Technology, etc.) in order to build an innovation ecosystem among institutions, administrators, faculty and students, the federal government and private industry. This cohort of HBCUs will be able to access current and future funding opportunities that will be available only to those universities that commit to participate in this unique collaborative.
