== About Me [[File:Lexie Headshot.jpg|thumb|Lexie Headshot.jpg]] ==

Lexie Lehmann is a Junior at Columbia University studying Urban Studies and History. She is originally from the Boston area, Massachusetts. On campus, Lexie is involved with the Roosevelt Institute, an undergraduate student-run think tank, and Design for America. Lexie is humbled, and excited!, to be a member of Columbia's first cohort of University Innovation Fellows.

Lexie is passionate about design-thinking as a way of approaching problem solving, rather than a discipline confined to the area of just "design". She thinks that design thinking principles can be applied to any problem, no matter how big or small, and she looks forward to the opportunity to use design-thinking principles to solve student problems on Columbia's campus. You can reach out to her if you are interested in urban studies, the intersection of technology and policy, or her upcoming study abroad experience at the University of Melbourne in Australia!

The purpose of this page is to articulate four to five projects we believe would meaningfully improve our campus innovation and entrepreneurship ecosystem. As part of our training for the University Innovation Fellows program, each of us brainstormed, prototyped, and loosely tested our products. The next step of this project would be to continue to iterate these projects and work with University stakeholders to implement one or multiple. 

== 1. Promoting student engagement with on-campus events and resources (Lexie Lehmann) ==

We noticed that students on campus fear overwhelmed with all of the event offerings available to them on and off-campus, as well as the “fear of missing out” felt when students believe that there is a social or academic opportunity that they’re not aware of. In an effort to combat this, we noticed that there were several different websites used to post events on campus but that there were few forums to congregate the events happening on any given day. One of our priorities is to make students feel included and engaged in the Columbia community and to know what opportunities are available to them as a student on this campus in a way that is manageable and inclusive. Originally, we conceived that this forum could take the form of a mobile app, but with feedback from our UIGuide, we’ve decided to look into other ways, especially non-technology ways, to explore promoting on-campus agency and connectivity.

== Introduction[[File:Columbia Logo.png|thumb|Columbia Logo.png]] ==

Columbia University is a private research university established in 1754. Our campus is located in Upper Manhattan, NYC. Columbia has twenty undergraduate and graduate schools, in addition to several Global Centers around the world.

== Promoting student innovation and entrepreneurship ==

Columbia has a number of resources dedicated to exposing students to innovation and entrepreneurship at the graduate and undergraduate levels. Courses like “Principles of Economics” in the Economics department, and “Organizing Innovation” in the Sociology department help engage students with the topic, while inspirational events like CORE’s speaker series, TEDx Columbia, and various on-campus hackathons provide creative demonstrations of the core tenants of innovation and design. After students express a desire to learn more about IE, more concrete courses like “Hacking 4 Defense”, “Introduction to Human Centered Design” and “Launch Your Start-Up” provide more explicit routes to the discipline. Additionally, there are several on-campus organizations to provide exposure to IE at the extra-curricular level, such as Design for America, Columbia Women’s Business Society, 180 Degrees Consulting, and the Application Development Initiative.

== Encouraging faculty innovation and entrepreneurship ==

Faculty at Columbia are encouraged to pursue innovation and entrepreneurship. In fact, there are several resources at the Design Studio and Columbia Makerspace that faculty are explicitly invited to engage with. Additionally, there are several career professionals who serve as adjunct faculty at Columbia, and therefore provide insight into innovation and entrepreneurship from an industry perspective.

== Actively supporting the university technology transfer function ==

Taken from Columbia's Technology Ventures Website, "Columbia Technology Ventures is the technology transfer office for Columbia University and a central location for many of the technology development initiatives, entrepreneurial activities, external industry collaborations, and commercially-oriented multidisciplinary technology innovations across the university. CTV’s core mission is to facilitate the transfer of inventions from academic research labs to the market for the benefit of society on a local, national, and global basis. Each year, CTV manages more than 350 invention disclosures, 100 license deals, and 20 new IP-backed start-ups, involving over 750 inventors across Columbia's campuses. CTV currently has over 1200 patent assets available for licensing, across research fields such as bio, IT, clean tech, devices, big data, nanotechnology, materials science, and more."

More information about Columbia Technology Ventures can be found [https://techventures.columbia.edu/about-ctv/technology-transfer-columbia here]. 

== Facilitating University-Industry Collaboration ==

Columbia facilitates University-Industry Collaboration through industrial parks/makerspace like the Columbia makerspace and Columbia Entrepreneurship’s Design Studio. Additionally, New York City has several regional sources of capital available to students like 72Angels, TechStars, and pitcHERS. Thirdly, there are a couple of on-campus mentoring and advisory networks such as Systers and the Lean In Mentorship Circle.

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

Columbia betters its surrounding communities through initiatives like city-wide hackathons and design sprints.

Another resource available to the community is the Columbia-Harlem Small Business Development Center, which provides small business workshops, Intensive business education programs, credit consulting, and other financial services to small businesses in Harlem. Overall, Columbia’s campus serves as an innovation-driven environment that strives to help its surrounding community prosper.
