[[File:CristianSanchez.jpg|frame|right|CristianSanchez.jpg]]Cristian is a University Innovation Fellow from the Spring 2015 cohort,

He is currently going to Cal State Fullerton working on completing his BS in Business Administration

with a concentration in Entrepreneurship. As a struggling student in his first semester he was juggling two jobs and night school. Cristian wanted more of a "The College Experience" and felt like he was missing it having to work during the day and go to school at night. So he decided to create a way were he would only work weekends win just as much as he would working a regular job. For a couple of months he had been bartending for private events but just as a hobby. This is were he was stuck by lighting and decided to go forward and develop a Freelance Bartending Service. This opportunity would help him be his own boss, book events when suited him, and win more in one day that most do in a week. This is when he created "Mix2cris" Once in "the College life," Cristian Has been collaborating with many of the Business Clubs to enrich his experience. By selflessly volunteering in good faith he was honorably been elected to be The Entrepreneurship Society's BICC (Business Inner Club Counsel) Representative. Continuing his out reach he has also been Elected by The Latino Business Student Association as the Director of Events to cultivate the business side for the members. Cristian has recently been elected to participate in program called University innovation Fellows a program hosted by Stanford University; to bring creative change to the university by developing creative atmospheres for discovery.

There is much to expect form this talented individual who's connections and collaborations hold to be fruitful and compelling

== Strategy One: Implementation of an Innovation Center ==

The objective of this project is to spread awareness about entrepreneurship and innovation within the University of Fullerton. The innovation center will be high-tech space in which students from different majors will have the opportunity to collaborate and pitch projects they would like to work on. Every semester, there will be one project that will be chosen, and within the course of the semester, that project will become tangible. The project can range in size, but the focus will be creating an object or application that solves a problem within the community or within least developed countries. The innovation center will follow the model of design thinking.Through our research, we have found that the ideal location for the innovation center, would be a place that is located at the center of our campus. We have found that students often feel intimidated to go to departments that they are not familiar with.
<div> </div>
=== Design Thinking Process Stages: ===

1.Define

In this stage students will answer the following questions:

[[File:DesignThinking.jpg|border|right|500x300px|DesignThinking.jpg]]What issues are you trying to solve?

Who is your target audience ?

How can this project be successful?

2.Research

Students will do field work to gather data, gather history of the problem at hand, check if there is someone trying to implement something similar,determine the supporters of this project ( i.e department, investors, community partners) and communicate withthe end user.

3.Ideation

Determine needs and motivations of the end user and brainstorm many ideas that can possibly solve the problem at hand

4.Prototype

Create multiple drafts, seek feedback from a diverse group of people, present a selection of ideas to the client, create and present actual working prototype

5.Choose

Review the objective and choose amongst alternatives

6. Implement

Plan, Assign, Execute

7. Learn

Gather feedback from the consumer,Determine if the solution met its goals, Discuss what could be improved, Measure success, and collect data.

== Strategy Two: TEDx CSUF[[File:Tedc.jpg|border|right|450x400px|Tedc.jpg]] ==

Bringing a TEDx to the Univeristy of Fullerton would be a way of unifying all the campuses colleges, and serve as a medium to welcome people from every discipline and culture who seek a deeper understanding of the world. Collectively believing in the power of ideas to change attitudes, lives, and ultimately, the world. The TedX events will have many themes, some of which include: Dynamic Women Entrepreneurs, Education,Technology, Innovation, Religon and Inspiration.This broad theme will attract alumni, faculty, and students to showcase their successes in a TED talk format building hype and recognition to them as well as the University. Keeping in mind TED talks is multidisciplinary, and is compatible with any concentration, a future TED talk can emerge from this and can focus on any Innovative breakthrough from any colleges. TedX will focus on attracting women that are involved in leadership roles. The objective of this initiative, is to promote women in business.

== Strategy Three:Crowd Funding Campaign ==

Objective: The focus of this campaign will be to create a sense of community amongst students. The campaign will focus on one organizations objective and if successful, will be opened to other organizations. This is an effort to have departmental staff and students collaborate and push for innovation. We have found that the student organizations on campus seek resources out of the university to obtain their objective. For example, engineering students directly seek sponsors to fund their projects. This campaign will pave the way for an initiative to work together as CSUF students. Business students will work alongside engineering students to achieve objectives.

Purpose: To have each department participate and serve as a support for students that are pushing for innovation.

Pilot: Crowdfunding will be a new platform that will be brought to CSUF. The capmaign will be piloted using an engineering club on campus and if successful, crowd funding will be used to fund student projects.

Support: Since this is a student led movement, we are partnering with departments from engineering and Business to support this campaign.

The innovation center will be high-tech space in which students from different majors will have the opportunity to collaborate and pitch projects they would like to work on. Every semester, there will be one project that will be chosen, and within the course of the semester, that project will become tangible. The project can range in size, but the focus will be creating an object or application that solves a problem within the community or within least developed countries. The innovation center will follow the model of design thinking.Through our research, we have found that the ideal location for the innovation center, would be a place that is located at the center of our campus. We have found that students often feel intimidated to go to departments that they are not familiar with.
<div> </div>
=== Design Thinking Process Stages: ===

1.Define

In this stage students will answer the following questions:

[[File:DesignThinking.jpg|border|right|500x300px|DesignThinking.jpg]]What issues are you trying to solve?

Who is your target audience ?

How can this project be successful?

2.Research

Students will do field work to gather data, gather history of the problem at hand, check if there is someone trying to implement something similar,determine the supporters of this project ( i.e department, investors, community partners) and communicate withthe end user.

3.Ideation

Determine needs and motivations of the end user and brainstorm many ideas that can possibly solve the problem at hand

4.Prototype

Create multiple drafts, seek feedback from a diverse group of people, present a selection of ideas to the client, create and present actual working prototype

5.Choose

Review the objective and choose amongst alternatives

6. Implement

Plan, Assign, Execute

7. Learn

Gather feedback from the consumer,Determine if the solution met its goals, Discuss what could be improved, Measure success, and collect data.

== Strategy Two: TEDx CSUF[[File:Tedc.jpg|border|right|450x400px|Tedc.jpg]] ==

Bringing a TEDx to the Univeristy of Fullerton would be a way of unifying all the campuses colleges, and serve as a medium to welcome people from every discipline and culture who seek a deeper understanding of the world. Collectively believing in the power of ideas to change attitudes, lives, and ultimately, the world. The TedX events will have many themes, some of which include: Dynamic Women Entrepreneurs, Education,Technology, Innovation, Religon and Inspiration.This broad theme will attract alumni, faculty, and students to showcase their successes in a TED talk format building hype and recognition to them as well as the University. Keeping in mind TED talks is multidisciplinary, and is compatible with any concentration, a future TED talk can emerge from this and can focus on any Innovative breakthrough from any colleges. TedX will focus on attracting women that are involved in leadership roles. The objective of this initiative, is to promote women in business.

== Strategy Three:Crowd Funding Campaign ==

Objective: The focus of this campaign will be to create a sense of community amongst students. The campaign will focus on one organizations objective and if successful, will be opened to other organizations. This is an effort to have departmental staff and students collaborate and push for innovation. We have found that the student organizations on campus seek resources out of the university to obtain their objective. For example, engineering students directly seek sponsors to fund their projects. This campaign will pave the way for an initiative to work together as CSUF students. Business students will work alongside engineering students to achieve objectives.

Purpose: To have each department participate and serve as a support for students that are pushing for innovation.

Pilot: Crowdfunding will be a new platform that will be brought to CSUF. The capmaign will be piloted using an engineering club on campus and if it is successful, it will be opened to other organizations.

Support: Since this is a student led movement, we are partnering with departments from engineering and Business to support this campaign.

'''California''''''State University''''''of Fullerton'''

<blockquote></blockquote>
== '''Overview''' ==

Located in one of the most vibrant and entrepreneurial business communities in the United States, the college of Business and Economics (Mihaylo) at California State University Fullerton, is the largest accredited business school on the West Coast. Mihaylo provides a world class business education, offering graduate and undergraduate programs that integrate classroom education with best business practices, technology, and real-world experience. Furthermore, the University of Fullerton aspires to combine the best qualities of teaching and research to actively engage students, faculty and staff to work in close collaboration to expand knowledge.

<div> 
== '''Student Innovation and Entrepreneurship''' ==

With the goal of pushing forward humanity, the University is a great supporter of innovation and entrepreneurship amongst students.

=== '''Center For Innovation''' ===

The University recently acquired the center for innovation, which is an incubator that houses innovative start-ups with scalable business concepts. The recently acquired incubator is meant to be an extension of what is done in the classroom. The start-ups housed in the incubator will be supported with mentors and coaches to help them throughout their journey. The goal of the incubator is to accelerate the commercialization of startups. In addition to the incubator, the University hosts numerous competitions in which students get the opportunity to pitch their business ideas in front of investors.

=== '''Competitions/Organizations''' ===

In support of innovation and entrepreneurship, the University hosts two competitions that aim at promoting entrepreneurship amongst students. The Business Plan Competition and the Titan Fast Pitch competition gives students the opportunity to pitch their ideas in front of  investors. In addition, the  University currently has two impactful entrepreneurship organizations in which innovation and entrepreneurship are highly valued. One is the Entrepreneurship Society, and the second is a newly established business fraternity Sigma Upsilon Mu. Both organizations aim at promoting entrepreneurship amongst students.

Tedx CSUF has also been a critical contributor to students understanding of the notion of “ideas worth spreading.” This on campus organization aims at pushing forward humanity through inspiration.

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

CSUF Faculty are great supporters of innovation and student entrepreneurs. The center for entrepreneurship at the University provides students with the resources necessary to launch their businesses. In addition, the center for entrepreneurship frequently invites speakers from all industries to talk to students about the common problems most startups face. From intellectual property to funding, the center equips students to be well prepared as they go about their professional journey.

 

== '''University Industry and Collaboration''' ==

The Small Business Institute at the University is hosted by the Mihaylo College of Business and Economics and is managed by the College's Center for Entrepreneurship. The purpose of the Small Business Institute  is to strengthen the small business sector of Orange County's free enterprise system through increasing the effectiveness and impact of small business teaching, consultation, and research at the University. The students are MBA students or graduating seniors majoring in business. The students form consulting teams and work like apprentices, closely supervised by a select group of experienced faculty experts.

 

== '''Regional and Local Economics Efforts''' ==

As mentioned above, the University recently acquired the center for innovation which is an incubator designed to accelerate start-ups. The center for entrepreneurship successfully partnered up  with the city of Placentia to make the center for innovation available not only to CSUF students, but to local entrepreneurs as well. 

Furthermore, the center for Economics and Small Business Institute at CSUF host a program called the Olympiad. The Olympiad is similar in nature to a business plan competition but with a younger audience. The goal of this event is promote financial literacy amongst high school students.

 

=== '''National Startup League''' ===

Furthermore, the center for economics recently partnered up with the National Startup League, a not for profit organization that equips individuals, of all levels, with the robust skillset required to be a successful and problem-solving entrepreneur. Starting in High School and University classrooms, the National StartUp League uses a high impact STEM based curriculum to challenge students to reframe their worldview, as solution oriented critical thinkers, and problem solvers.

== Strategy One: Implementation of an Innovation Center ==

The objective of this project is to spread awareness about entrepreneurship and innovation within the University of Fullerton. The innovation center will be high-tech space in which students from different majors will have the opportunity to collaborate and pitch projects they would like to work on. Every semester, there will be one project that will be chosen, and within the course of the semester, that project will become tangible. The project can range in size, but the focus will be creating an object or application that solves a problem within the community or within least developed countries. The innovation center will follow the model of design thinking.Through our research, we have found that the ideal location for the innovation center, would be a place that is located at the center of our campus. We have found that students often feel intimidated to go to departments that they are not familiar with.
<div> </div>
=== Design Thinking Process Stages: ===

1.Define

In this stage students will answer the following questions:

[[File:DesignThinking.jpg|border|right|500x300px|DesignThinking.jpg]]What issues are you trying to solve?

Who is your target audience ?

How can this project be successful?

2.Research

Students will do field work to gather data, gather history of the problem at hand, check if there is someone trying to implement something similar,determine the supporters of this project ( i.e department, investors, community partners) and communicate withthe end user.

3.Ideation

Determine needs and motivations of the end user and brainstorm many ideas that can possibly solve the problem at hand

4.Prototype

Create multiple drafts, seek feedback from a diverse group of people, present a selection of ideas to the client, create and present actual working prototype

5.Choose

Review the objective and choose amongst alternatives

6. Implement

Plan, Assign, Execute

7. Learn

Gather feedback from the consumer,Determine if the solution met its goals, Discuss what could be improved, Measure success, and collect data.

== Strategy Two: TEDx CSUF[[File:Tedc.jpg|border|right|450x400px|Tedc.jpg]] ==

Bringing a TEDx to the Univeristy of Fullerton would be a way of unifying all the campuses colleges, and serve as a medium to welcome people from every discipline and culture who seek a deeper understanding of the world. Collectively believing in the power of ideas to change attitudes, lives, and ultimately, the world. The TedX events will have many themes, some of which include: Dynamic Women Entrepreneurs, Education,Technology, Innovation, Religon and Inspiration.This broad theme will attract alumni, faculty, and students to showcase their successes in a TED talk format building hype and recognition to them as well as the University. Keeping in mind TED talks is multidisciplinary, and is compatible with any concentration, a future TED talk can emerge from this and can focus on any Innovative breakthrough from any colleges. TedX will focus on attracting women that are involved in leadership roles. The objective of this initiative, is to promote women in business.

== Strategy Three:Crowd Funding Campaign ==

Objective: The focus of this campaign will be to create a sense of community amongst students. The campaign will focus on one organizations objective and if successful, will be opened to other organizations. This is an effort to have departmental staff and students collaborate and push for innovation. We have found that the student organizations on campus seek resources out of the university to obtain their objective. For example, engineering students directly seek sponsors to fund their projects. This campaign will pave the way for an initiative to work together as CSUF students. Business students will work alongside engineering students to achieve objectives.

Purpose: To have each department participate and serve as a support for students that are pushing for innovation.

Pilot: Crowdfunding will be a new platform that will be brought to CSUF. The capmaign will be piloted using an engineering club on campus and if it is successful, it will be opened to other organizations.

Support: Since this is a student led movement, we are partnering with departments from engineering and Business to support this campaign.

== Strategy One: Implementation of an Innovation Center ==

The objective of this project is to spread awareness about entrepreneurship and innovation within the University of Fullerton. The innovation center will be high-tech space in which students from different majors will have the opportunity to collaborate and pitch projects they would like to work on. Every semester, there will be one project that will be chosen, and within the course of the semester, that project will become tangible. The project can range in size, but the focus will be creating an object or application that solves a problem within the community or within least developed countries. The innovation center will follow the model of design thinking.Through our research, we have found that the ideal location for the innovation center, would be a place that is located at the center of our campus. We have found that students often feel intimidated to go to departments that they are not familiar with.
