 '''Leadership Circle Student Priorities'''

'''Student Priority #1: Elon University Crowdfund '''

*Purpose: By initiating a crowdfunding platform on our campus we could greatly expand what innovation and entrepreneurship looks like. This platform would be similar to the Kickstarter app in the sense that students would show their ideas using some form of video. Viewers (community members, Elon faculty, Elon students, Elon professors, community business leaders, etc.) could then watch the video and decide whether or not the idea is one in which they would like to invest in. Not only does this platform appeal to the startup mindset of many students, but it is an extremely efficient way of connecting students who have great ideas to individuals with funds.

*Strategies:
<ol style="margin-left: 80px;">
<li>Meet with professors and students to see if this is something students would use. Student survey.</li>
<li>Research other Universities that have a crowdfunding platform already set up.</li>
<li>Create a platform or use existing platform.</li>
<li>Reach out to a few groups for first adopters.</li>
<li>Start first crowdfunding trial runs.</li>
<li>Help advertise and connect with all involved Elon parties to secure funding.</li>
<li>Evaluate what could be improved.</li>
<li>Present proof of concept to school and start to market in Alumni circles</li>
</ol>

______________________________________________________________________________________________________

'''Student Priority #2: '''Consult With and Work on Sustainability of Current I&E Organization''' '''

*Purpose: Fortunately, Elon has a lot of programs and organizations that encourages students to explore I&E; however, many of these have either died out within the past couple years, have a lack of leadership or have needed a good push in the right direction. As UIF members we seek to build these programs and organizations back up.

''''''

*Strategies:
<ol style="margin-left: 80px;">
<li>Identify organizations at Elon that work on I&E.</li>
<li>Evaluate their current state and future sustainability.</li>
<li>Create a list of ways to increase their impact and sustainability on campus.</li>
<li>Help them build stronger leadership teams by connecting them with different resources within the university.</li>
<li>Connect these different organizations with one another to build their recognition on campus.</li>
<li>Connect these organizations more closely with different resources at the school to improve their impact on campus and ability to sustain students</li>
<li>Connect these organizations with different resources outside of the school that might be helpful for them.</li>
<li>Create a group of presidents and UIF leaders that meets once a semester to discuss the current state of I&E</li>
</ol>

______________________________________________________________________________________________________

'''''' '''Student Priorty #3: Work with current Elon TEDx Cooordinators'''

*Purpose: Professors to express their innovative ideas and how they can come from different backgrounds & criterias. This event will hopefully ignite the fire in students to want to continue with an idea that they’ve had for years.



*Strategies:
<ol style="margin-left: 80px;">
<li>Contact person in charge of events to plan logistics.</li>
<li>Send out email to professors about event seeing who is interested. </li>
<li>Meet with interested professors to discuss talking points.</li>
<li>Construct publicity & advertising tactics for event.</li>
<li>Mass publicize event to student body.</li>
<li>Host event while also publicizing Elon’s University Innovation Fellows to student body.</li>
<li>Send thank you cards to speakers to hopefully gain a connection with them and gain support.</li>
<li>Very ambitious but try and get 1,000 Pitches to come to one of the events.</li>
</ol>

______________________________________________________________________________________________________

'''Student Priority #4: '''Elon Incubator Space

*Purpose: Students will need a space where they feel comfortable brainstorming and prototyping their ideas.



*Strategies:
<ol style="margin-left: 80px;">
<li>Develop a proposal based on incubator spaces at other universities to model our space off of and show their importance.</li>
<li>Work with the university to secure a space/room at the school that would be available for this idea.</li>
<li>Create an innovative layout for the room that will be conducive for innovation and venture creation.</li>
<li>Propose a budget to the Provost for the cost of creating this space.</li>
<li>Create and advertise the space.</li>
<li>Find student volunteers to work in the space or create a paid student position.</li>
<li>Build the resources needed for students to bring ideas to the space.</li>
<li>Connect the space with other incubators in the area.</li>
</ol>

______________________________________________________________________________________________________

'''Student Priority #5: '''Update TV in Doherty Room/Innovation 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:
<ol style="margin-left: 80px;">
<li>Contact individual currently in charge of TV.</li>
<li>Research students involved with I&E on campus.</li>
<li>Email these students asking for a “profile”.</li>
<li>Encourage Tour Guides to show prospective students what our current and past students are working on within the area of I&E.</li>
<li>Build some type of social media platform to highlight innovation and entrepreneurship.</li>
<li>Use the platform to highlight students and events.</li>
</ol>

Overview

Elon is a selective, mid-sized private university renowned as a national model for engaged and experiential learning. Students work closely with faculty who are dedicated to excellent teaching and scholarship. The curriculum is grounded in the traditional liberal arts and sciences and complemented by nationally accredited professional and graduate programs.



Entrepreneurship and Innovation

Elon currently offers a major and a minor in entrepreneurship through the Doherty center, which prepares students to become entrepreneurs in either for-profit businesses or social businesses. While this helps, it is not enough. The business school alone seems to have a monopoly on entrepreneurship and there is not enough interdisciplinary application of design thinking and innovation. 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.

Encouraging Faculty Innovation and Entrepreneurship

Many faculty members within Elon University are very innovative and entrepreneurial in the way in which they approach their independent research projects and publications, yet it does not seem as though the students or community are always informed about their accomplishments. In order to encourage our faculty members to continue being innovative and entrepreneurial we must reward them for what they are already doing.

Actively Support the University Technology Transfer Function
<div>We do not have sufficient resources to pursue this specific category but have plans to apply the four other categories to our campus. We hope to have the opportunity and resources to incorporate this category down the road.  </div><div> </div><div>Facilitating University - Industry Collaboration</div>
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. We also have large job and internship fairs that bring in startups and large companies like Deloitte and Oracle. These programs are very common among most schools and we are currently working to expand them. Because of the many other schools in the area with strong research focuses it is difficult to attract larger research projects but there are some smaller companies that we have been able to work with. Our Environmental Department has been involved with doing some really neat testing for products that will be sold to Kobalt and there are many other projects taking place within our other departments. As a Leadership Circle this is an area I think we could improve in. To do this we will need to reach out to many of the local companies to see what types of projects and research they might need validated. Because we are such a small school compared to schools like NC State there are some smaller projects that we could work on that would be very helpful to those businesses. The first step for us will be getting involved with the Chamber of congress.
<div> </div><div>
Engaging with Regional and Local 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.</div>
 Next Steps

-Interdisciplinary innovation (not just through business school)

-Creating 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.)



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.

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.</div>
 Next Steps

-Interdisciplinary innovation (not just through business school)

-Creating 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.)



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

Elon is a selective, mid-sized private university renowned as a national model for engaged and experiential learning. Students work closely with faculty who are dedicated to excellent teaching and scholarship. The curriculum is grounded in the traditional liberal arts and sciences and complemented by nationally accredited professional and graduate programs.



Entrepreneurship and Innovation

Elon currently offers a major and a minor in entrepreneurship through the Doherty center, which prepares students to become entrepreneurs in either for-profit businesses or social businesses. While this helps, it is not enough. The business school alone seems to have a monopoly on entrepreneurship and there is not enough interdisciplinary application of design thinking and innovation. 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.

Encouraging Faculty Innovation and Entrepreneurship

Many faculty members within Elon University are very innovative and entrepreneurial in the way in which they approach their independent research projects and publications, yet it does not seem as though the students or community are always informed about their accomplishments. In order to encourage our faculty members to continue being innovative and entrepreneurial we must reward them for what they are already doing.

Actively Support the University Technology Transfer Function
<div>We do not have sufficient resources to pursue this specific category but have plans to apply the four other categories to our campus. We hope to have the opportunity and resources to incorporate this category down the road.  </div><div> </div><div>Facilitating University - Industry Collaboration</div>
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. We also have large job and internship fairs that bring in startups and large companies like Deloitte and Oracle. These programs are very common among most schools and we are currently working to expand them. Because of the many other schools in the area with strong research focuses it is difficult to attract larger research projects but there are some smaller companies that we have been able to work with. Our Environmental Department has been involved with doing some really neat testing for products that will be sold to Kobalt and there are many other projects taking place within our other departments. As a Leadership Circle this is an area I think we could improve in. To do this we will need to reach out to many of the local companies to see what types of projects and research they might need validated. Because we are such a small school compared to schools like NC State there are some smaller projects that we could work on that would be very helpful to those businesses. The first step for us will be getting involved with the Chamber of congress.

'''Leadership Circle Student Priorities'''

'''Student Priority #1: Elon University Crowdfund '''

*Purpose: By initiating a crowdfunding platform on our campus we could greatly expand what innovation and entrepreneurship looks like. This platform would be similar to the Kickstarter app in the sense that students would show their ideas using some form of video. Viewers (community members, Elon faculty, Elon students, Elon professors, community business leaders, etc.) could then watch the video and decide whether or not the idea is one in which they would like to invest in. Not only does this platform appeal to the startup mindset of many students, but it is an extremely efficient way of connecting students who have great ideas to individuals with funds.

*Strategies:
<ol style="margin-left: 80px;">
<li>Meet with professors and students to see if this is something students would use. Student survey.</li>
<li>Research other Universities that have a crowdfunding platform already set up.</li>
<li>Create a platform or use existing platform.</li>
<li>Reach out to a few groups for first adopters.</li>
<li>Start first crowdfunding trial runs.</li>
<li>Help advertise and connect with all involved Elon parties to secure funding.</li>
<li>Evaluate what could be improved.</li>
<li>Present proof of concept to school and start to market in Alumni circles</li>
</ol>

______________________________________________________________________________________________________

'''Student Priority #2: '''Consult With and Work on Sustainability of Current I&E Organization''' '''

*Purpose: Fortunately, Elon has a lot of programs and organizations that encourages students to explore I&E; however, many of these have either died out within the past couple years, have a lack of leadership or have needed a good push in the right direction. As UIF members we seek to build these programs and organizations back up.

''''''

*Strategies:
<ol style="margin-left: 80px;">
<li>Identify organizations at Elon that work on I&E.</li>
<li>Evaluate their current state and future sustainability.</li>
<li>Create a list of ways to increase their impact and sustainability on campus.</li>
<li>Help them build stronger leadership teams by connecting them with different resources within the university.</li>
<li>Connect these different organizations with one another to build their recognition on campus.</li>
<li>Connect these organizations more closely with different resources at the school to improve their impact on campus and ability to sustain students</li>
<li>Connect these organizations with different resources outside of the school that might be helpful for them.</li>
<li>Create a group of presidents and UIF leaders that meets once a semester to discuss the current state of I&E</li>
</ol>

'''''' '''Student Priorty #3: Work with current Elon TEDx Cooordinators'''

*Purpose: Professors to express their innovative ideas and how they can come from different backgrounds & criterias. This event will hopefully ignite the fire in students to want to continue with an idea that they’ve had for years.



*Strategies:
<ol style="margin-left: 80px;">
<li>Contact person in charge of events to plan logistics. (3/6)</li>
<li>Send out email to professors about event seeing who is interested. (3/13)</li>
<li>Meet with interested professors to discuss talking points. (3/16-3/20)</li>
<li>Construct publicity & advertising tactics for event. (3/20)</li>
<li>Mass publicize event to student body. (3/22-23/27)</li>
<li>Host event while also publicizing Elon’s University Innovation Fellows to student body. (Date is TBA)</li>
<li>Send thank you cards to speakers to hopefully gain a connection with them and gain support. (Date is TBA)</li>
<li>Very ambitious but try and get 1,000 Pitches to come to one of the events.</li>
</ol>

'''Student Priority #4: '''Elon Incubator Space

*Purpose: Students will need a space where they feel comfortable brainstorming and prototyping their ideas.



*Strategies:
<ol style="margin-left: 80px;">
<li>Develop a proposal based on incubator spaces at other universities to model our space off of and show their importance.</li>
<li>Work with the university to secure a space/room at the school that would be available for this idea.</li>
<li>Create an innovative layout for the room that will be conducive for innovation and venture creation.</li>
<li>Propose a budget to the Provost for the cost of creating this space.</li>
<li>Create and advertise the space.</li>
<li>Find student volunteers to work in the space or create a paid student position.</li>
<li>Build the resources needed for students to bring ideas to the space.</li>
<li>Connect the space with other incubators in the area.</li>
</ol>

'''Student Priority #5: '''Update TV in Doherty Room/Innovation 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:
<ol style="margin-left: 80px;">
<li>Contact individual currently in charge of TV.</li>
<li>Research students involved with I&E on campus.</li>
<li>Email these students asking for a “profile”.</li>
<li>Encourage Tour Guides to show prospective students what our current and past students are working on within the area of I&E.</li>
<li>Build some type of social media platform to highlight innovation and entrepreneurship.</li>
<li>Use the platform to highlight students and events.</li>

'''Leadership Circle Student Priorities'''

'''Student Priority #1: Elon University Crowdfund '''

*Purpose: By initiating a crowdfunding platform on our campus we could greatly expand what innovation and entrepreneurship looks like. This platform would be similar to the Kickstarter app in the sense that students would show their ideas using some form of video. Viewers (community members, Elon faculty, Elon students, Elon professors, community business leaders, etc.) could then watch the video and decide whether or not the idea is one in which they would like to invest in. Not only does this platform appeal to the startup mindset of many students, but it is an extremely efficient way of connecting students who have great ideas to individuals with funds.

*Strategies:
<ol style="margin-left: 80px;">
<li>Meet with professors and students to see if this is something students would use. Student survey.</li>
<li>Research other Universities that have a crowdfunding platform already set up.</li>
<li>Create a platform or use existing platform.</li>
<li>Reach out to a few groups for first adopters.</li>
<li>Start first crowdfunding trial runs.</li>
<li>Help advertise and connect with all involved Elon parties to secure funding.</li>
<li>Evaluate what could be improved.</li>
<li>Present proof of concept to school and start to market in Alumni circles</li>
</ol>

'''Student Priority #2: '''Consult With and Work on Sustainability of Current I&E Organization''' '''

*Purpose: Fortunately, Elon has a lot of programs and organizations that encourages students to explore I&E; however, many of these have either died out within the past couple years, have a lack of leadership or have needed a good push in the right direction. As UIF members we seek to build these programs and organizations back up.

'''Leadership Circle Student Priorities'''

'''Student Priority #1: Elon University Crowdfund '''

*Purpose: By initiating a crowdfunding platform on our campus we could greatly expand what innovation and entrepreneurship looks like. This platform would be similar to the Kickstarter app in the sense that students would show their ideas using some form of video. Viewers (community members, Elon faculty, Elon students, Elon professors, community business leaders, etc.) could then watch the video and decide whether or not the idea is one in which they would like to invest in. Not only does this platform appeal to the startup mindset of many students, but it is an extremely efficient way of connecting students who have great ideas to individuals with funds.

*Strategies:
<ol style="margin-left: 80px;">
<li>Meet with professors and students to see if this is something students would use. Student survey.</li>
<li>Research other Universities that have a crowdfunding platform already set up.</li>
<li>Create a platform or use existing platform.</li>
<li>Reach out to a few groups for first adopters.</li>
<li>Start first crowdfunding trial runs.</li>
<li>Help advertise and connect with all involved Elon parties to secure funding.</li>
<li>Evaluate what could be improved.</li>
<li>Present proof of concept to school and start to market in Alumni circles</li>
</ol>

______________________________________________________________________________________________________

'''Student Priority #2: '''Consult With and Work on Sustainability of Current I&E Organization''' '''

*Purpose: Fortunately, Elon has a lot of programs and organizations that encourages students to explore I&E; however, many of these have either died out within the past couple years, have a lack of leadership or have needed a good push in the right direction. As UIF members we seek to build these programs and organizations back up.

''''''

*Strategies:
<ol style="margin-left: 80px;">
<li>Identify organizations at Elon that work on I&E.</li>
<li>Evaluate their current state and future sustainability.</li>
<li>Create a list of ways to increase their impact and sustainability on campus.</li>
<li>Help them build stronger leadership teams by connecting them with different resources within the university.</li>
<li>Connect these different organizations with one another to build their recognition on campus.</li>
<li>Connect these organizations more closely with different resources at the school to improve their impact on campus and ability to sustain students</li>
<li>Connect these organizations with different resources outside of the school that might be helpful for them.</li>
<li>Create a group of presidents and UIF leaders that meets once a semester to discuss the current state of I&E</li>

Overview

Elon is a selective, mid-sized private university renowned as a national model for engaged and experiential learning. Students work closely with faculty who are dedicated to excellent teaching and scholarship. The curriculum is grounded in the traditional liberal arts and sciences and complemented by nationally accredited professional and graduate programs.



Entrepreneurship and Innovation

Elon currently offers a major and a minor in entrepreneurship through the Doherty center, which prepares students to become entrepreneurs in either for-profit businesses or social businesses. While this helps, it is not enough. The business school alone seems to have a monopoly on entrepreneurship and there is not enough interdisciplinary application of design thinking and innovation. 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.

Next Steps

-Interdisciplinary innovation (not just through business school)

-Creating 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.)



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

Elon is a selective, mid-sized private university renowned as a national model for engaged and experiential learning. Students work closely with faculty who are dedicated to excellent teaching and scholarship. The curriculum is grounded in the traditional liberal arts and sciences and complemented by nationally accredited professional and graduate programs.



Entrepreneurship and Innovation

Elon currently offers a major and a minor in entrepreneurship through the Doherty center, which prepares students to become entrepreneurs in either for-profit businesses or social businesses. While this helps, it is not enough. The business school alone seems to have a monopoly on entrepreneurship and there is not enough interdisciplinary application of design thinking and innovation. 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.

Next Steps

-Interdisciplinary innovation (not just through business school)

-Creating 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.)



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.

'''Leadership Circle Student Priorities'''

'''Student Priority #1: Elon University Crowdfund '''

*Purpose: By initiating a crowdfunding platform on our campus we could greatly expand what innovation and entrepreneurship looks like. This platform would be similar to the Kickstarter app in the sense that students would show their ideas using some form of video. Viewers (community members, Elon faculty, Elon students, Elon professors, community business leaders, etc.) could then watch the video and decide whether or not the idea is one in which they would like to invest in. Not only does this platform appeal to the startup mindset of many students, but it is an extremely efficient way of connecting students who have great ideas to individuals with funds.

 

*Strategies:
<ol style="margin-left: 80px;">
<li>Meet with professors and students to see if this is something students would use. Student survey.</li>
<li>Research other Universities that have a crowdfunding platform already set up.</li>
<li>Create a platform or use existing platform.</li>
<li>Reach out to a few groups for first adopters.</li>
<li>Start first crowdfunding trial runs.</li>
<li>Help advertise and connect with all involved Elon parties to secure funding.</li>
<li>Evaluate what could be improved.</li>
<li>Present proof of concept to school and start to market in Alumni circles</li>
</ol>

______________________________________________________________________________________________________

'''Student Priority #2: '''Consult With and Work on Sustainability of Current I&E Organization''' '''

*Purpose: Fortunately, Elon has a lot of programs and organizations that encourages students to explore I&E; however, many of these have either died out within the past couple years, have a lack of leadership or have needed a good push in the right direction. As UIF members we seek to build these programs and organizations back up.

''''''

*Strategies:
<ol style="margin-left: 80px;">
<li>Identify organizations at Elon that work on I&E.</li>
<li>Evaluate their current state and future sustainability.</li>
<li>Create a list of ways to increase their impact and sustainability on campus.</li>
<li>Help them build stronger leadership teams by connecting them with different resources within the university.</li>
<li>Connect these different organizations with one another to build their recognition on campus.</li>
<li>Connect these organizations more closely with different resources at the school to improve their impact on campus and ability to sustain students</li>
<li>Connect these organizations with different resources outside of the school that might be helpful for them.</li>
<li>Create a group of presidents and UIF leaders that meets once a semester to discuss the current state of I&E</li>
</ol>

______________________________________________________________________________________________________

'''''' '''Student Priorty #3: Work with current Elon TEDx Cooordinators'''

*Purpose: Professors to express their innovative ideas and how they can come from different backgrounds & criterias. This event will hopefully ignite the fire in students to want to continue with an idea that they’ve had for years.



*Strategies:
<ol style="margin-left: 80px;">
<li>Contact person in charge of events to plan logistics. (3/6)</li>
<li>Send out email to professors about event seeing who is interested. (3/13)</li>
<li>Meet with interested professors to discuss talking points. (3/16-3/20)</li>
<li>Construct publicity & advertising tactics for event. (3/20)</li>
<li>Mass publicize event to student body. (3/22-23/27)</li>
<li>Host event while also publicizing Elon’s University Innovation Fellows to student body. (Date is TBA)</li>
<li>Send thank you cards to speakers to hopefully gain a connection with them and gain support. (Date is TBA)</li>
<li>Very ambitious but try and get 1,000 Pitches to come to one of the events.</li>
</ol>

______________________________________________________________________________________________________

'''Student Priority #4: '''Elon Incubator Space

*Purpose: Students will need a space where they feel comfortable brainstorming and prototyping their ideas.



*Strategies:
<ol style="margin-left: 80px;">
<li>Develop a proposal based on incubator spaces at other universities to model our space off of and show their importance.</li>
<li>Work with the university to secure a space/room at the school that would be available for this idea.</li>
<li>Create an innovative layout for the room that will be conducive for innovation and venture creation.</li>
<li>Propose a budget to the Provost for the cost of creating this space.</li>
<li>Create and advertise the space.</li>
<li>Find student volunteers to work in the space or create a paid student position.</li>
<li>Build the resources needed for students to bring ideas to the space.</li>
<li>Connect the space with other incubators in the area.</li>
</ol>

______________________________________________________________________________________________________

'''Student Priority #5: '''Update TV in Doherty Room/Innovation 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:
<ol style="margin-left: 80px;">
<li>Contact individual currently in charge of TV.</li>
<li>Research students involved with I&E on campus.</li>
<li>Email these students asking for a “profile”.</li>
<li>Encourage Tour Guides to show prospective students what our current and past students are working on within the area of I&E.</li>
<li>Build some type of social media platform to highlight innovation and entrepreneurship.</li>
<li>Use the platform to highlight students and events.</li>

'''Student Priority #2: '''Consult With and Work on Sustainability of Current I&E Organization''' '''

*Purpose: Fortunately, Elon has a lot of programs and organizations that encourages students to explore I&E; however, many of these have either died out within the past couple years, have a lack of leadership or have needed a good push in the right direction.

'''Leadership Circle Student Priorities'''

'''Student Priority #1: Elon University Crowdfund '''

*Purpose: By initiating a crowdfunding platform on our campus we could greatly expand what innovation and entrepreneurship looks like. This platform would be similar to the Kickstarter app in the sense that students would show their ideas using some form of video. Viewers (community members, Elon faculty, Elon students, Elon professors, community business leaders, etc.) could then watch the video and decide whether or not the idea is one in which they would like to invest in. Not only does this platform appeal to the startup mindset of many students, but it is an extremely efficient way of connecting students who have great ideas to individuals with funds.

*Strategies:
<ol style="margin-left: 80px;">
<li>Meet with professors and students to see if this is something students would use. Student survey.</li>
<li>Research other Universities that have a crowdfunding platform already set up.</li>
<li>Create a platform or use existing platform.</li>
<li>Reach out to a few groups for first adopters.</li>
<li>Start first crowdfunding trial runs.</li>

<li>Evaluate what could be improved.</li>
<li>Present proof of concept to school and start to market in Alumni circles</li>
