<big><span style="text-align: left; color: rgb(29, 28, 29); text-transform: none; text-indent: 0px; letter-spacing: normal; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 700; text-decoration: none; word-spacing: 0px; display: inline !important; white-space: normal; orphans: 2; float: none; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">Alumni Presentation Program: We believe that this project would be the most important to Fordham's environment. If we were able to host this event in the Spring Semester, we could really strike engaging dicussion with past alumni that students can connect with. If students were provided a platform for students to network with, we are certain that they can open up and see how they can formulate their success. Industry insights are huge today. If students have access to these insights, it can help them find their focus.</big>

It may be hard to initially reach out to alumni and create virtual programs with them, however, we can defintely put together a week series with different speakers from different industries.</big>

Engagement is at an all time low currently. Many people might think that this is because of Covid-19, however this low engagment started happening even before it. Attention span of the average human is decresing exponentially every year and school must adapt to that. </big>

In addition to this, it would be essential to contact the dean of each class in order to propose these competitions and the best way to execute them. It may be hard to set up the competition, but we can partner with professors and their departments to come up with engaging programs.</big>

This would allow them to work hands on with things they love. This program would occur throughout the whole semester. The research would be assigned in the beginning of the semester and the final presentation would be due during finals. </big>

<big><span style="text-align: left; color: rgb(29, 28, 29); text-transform: none; text-indent: 0px; letter-spacing: normal; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 700; text-decoration: none; word-spacing: 0px; display: inline !important; white-space: normal; orphans: 2; float: none; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">Ideate Day: We identified this idea to be our top priority, After discussing as a team, we determined that being allowed the time and space to ideate and collaborate with peers is an enriching experience applicable in any course. We figured that courses at Fordham that assign a group or individual projects will benefit from a day when students can collaborate with their peers to come up with ideas, prototype and gain feedback.</big>

<big><span style="text-align: left; color: rgb(29, 28, 29); text-transform: none; text-indent: 0px; letter-spacing: normal; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 700; text-decoration: none; word-spacing: 0px; display: inline !important; white-space: normal; orphans: 2; float: none; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">To make this project a reality, we would need to contact the appropriate Deans (specifically Dean Marisa Villani) and University Provost and provide them with a strong argument as to why an ideate day would prove beneficial for students and professors alike. The next step would be to speak directly to students to evaluate whether our peers believe that an ideate day would add value to their educational experience.</big>

<big><span style="text-align: left; color: rgb(29, 28, 29); text-transform: none; text-indent: 0px; letter-spacing: normal; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 700; text-decoration: none; word-spacing: 0px; display: inline !important; white-space: normal; orphans: 2; float: none; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">Logistically speaking, persuading professors to allow time to ideate can prove difficult, especially with educators who are disinclined to modify their syllabi and lesson schedule for such an activity. The goal is to have an ideate day be incorporated in select courses to aid students in their brainstorming stage of their projects resulting in higher quality deliverables. Once professors notice an improvement in the quality of work students have produced, they will see the value in having a day to ideate.</big>

This program will draw from all areas of study and assist students in exploring the cutting edge of their field by exposing them to the work of innovators within their discipline and teaching them how they can follow this path.</big>

<big><span style="text-align: left; color: rgb(29, 28, 29); text-transform: none; text-indent: 0px; letter-spacing: normal; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 700; text-decoration: none; word-spacing: 0px; display: inline !important; white-space: normal; orphans: 2; float: none; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">This semester-long program is designed for students who have already selected a major/field and requires students to research innovators within this discipline. In weekly meetings, they will engage in a thorough study of the field’s most recent developments and come to a better understanding of the challenges that are currently at play in this discipline. After familiarizing themselves with the ways in which innovators are working within their field and the ways the field is changing, students will learn innovation and entrepreneurship strategies. They will use these strategies (such as design thinking and rapid prototyping) to generate and flesh out an innovative/entrepreneurial idea over the remaining time in the semester. The two main deliverables are an analysis of innovation currently happening in the field and a prototype/report on an innovative idea that the</big>

By broadening these horizons, students can be alerted to potential career paths that they may not have previously considered and develop new skills that they may not have previously worked on. The project-based model will allow students to immediately put what they learned into action and develop their ideation and prototyping skills.</big>

 '''<big>Entrepreneurship Podcast: This project is our third priority beneficial because it truly caters towards our target audience: busy entrepreneurial students and students who are curious but too shy to fully commit to participating in I&E conventions. Furthermore, we found the control that we have over this project really appealing. It requires little funding and its implementation does not depend entirely on efforts made by stakeholders. That being said, our goal is, of course, to have their support as it will allow our project to be successful. While our ultimate goal will be to make a change in the way Fordham teaches entrepreneurship: this project, which is attainable and straightforward, will allow us to grow the community of entrepreneurs making it easier and more attractive to implement more courses related to I&E.</big>'''

'''<big>The podcast could host a guest and post an episode every month. The leadership circle would operate quite independently at first and be in charge of finding interested people, curating a list of questions, and hosting the episodes. As we gain traction and popularity, we could form an official club and recruit interested volunteers to continue creating podcast content and organize bi-annual events where students can physically come together and discuss topics related to I&E.</big>'''

'''<big>Finally, this project could be fully integrated within the university by partnering with the college career advisors that could help us find professionals to come and talk on the show. While also using our platform to advertise entrepreneurship and innovation internships and positions. </big> '''

'''<big>Venture Network: We have identified the Venture Network as our fourth strategic priority because we feel that it may not have as much of an impact on students as some of the other strategic priorities will. Also, it could be done in conjunction with other strategic priorities. The effect that this will have on students is that it will create a network of Fordham students and faculty to make them more aware of the current entrepreneurial ventures that members of the Fordham community have created. Social media accounts will be created, and they are designated to inspire others, Gabelli or Fordham College alike, to become more entrepreneurial and create their start-ups. </big>'''

'''<big>Currently, the Instagram account @venture.network is already up and running, ready to share success stories. To make this happen officially, we will need to get approval from the Office of Student Affairs on campus. We would need to reach out to many students and faculty who currently run their businesses and interview them. The entire leadership circle would create the questions, schedule for these posts, and meetings at Fordham, and the tasks would be split up according to everyone’s schedules. Eventually, a club could be created where the accounts can all be run by passionate students, and possibly develop into a newsletter.</big>'''

'''<big>By reaching out to the Fordham community and connecting those who are passionate changemakers, it will inspire Fordham to connect with each other and become inspired to make more change. The goal is to connect the entrepreneurial community at Fordham further, and a social media network we feel would be a good start. </big>'''

We also determined that it will take roughly a month to form this coalition but relies on the effort and mindset of the clubs in regards to its impact and effect.</big>

These meetings would be a platform for each club to discuss the problems they are facing, potential solutions for their solutions, and ways to collaborate.</big>

Change like increasing the resources at our second campus, creating events together, gaining more involvement by marketing the clubs as a whole, teaching Design Thinking workshops, creating new classes and much more! We truly believe if this is successful, Fordham as a whole will be on a much better path with an innovative future.</big>

After our discussion, we came to the final conclusion that an app has the potential to impact every Fordham student if they all use the app, but it would take a while to build and work out the bugs. We estimate it could take up to a year to get the app up and running, but the timeline is not clear as of now due to the fact that the Foundry, the entrepreneurial hub on campus, has created apps and could possibly help us achieve it sooner.</big>

The next step in the process is to speak with the Foundry about the help they may be able to provide and how many people would need to be involved in creating the app. Specifically, I would like to speak with Sean Johnson, an entrepreneur in residence who helped with the creation of another app over the course of this past summer. In addition, I intend to call upon students who have created apps in the past like a colleague named Joseph VanGostein.</big>

While we have gotten positive feedback as of now from clubs, making sure the platform would be used by all the organizations would be an important part of ensuring that it does fix the communication problem.</big>

<big><span style="text-align: left; color: rgb(29, 28, 29); text-transform: none; text-indent: 0px; letter-spacing: normal; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 700; text-decoration: none; word-spacing: 0px; display: inline !important; white-space: normal; orphans: 2; float: none; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">Alumni Presentation Program: We believe that this project would be the most important to Fordham's environment. If we were able to host this event in the Spring Semester, we could really strike engaging dicussion with past alumni that students can connect with. If students were provided a platform for students to network with, we are certain that they can open up and see how they can formulate their success. Industry insights are huge today. If students have access to these insights, it can help them find their focus.</big>

<big><span style="text-align: left; color: rgb(29, 28, 29); text-transform: none; text-indent: 0px; letter-spacing: normal; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 700; text-decoration: none; word-spacing: 0px; display: inline !important; white-space: normal; orphans: 2; float: none; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">In order to make this project come alive, we would discuss with Alumni Directors, Alumni, the Deans, and Faculty in order to gather resources to contact alumni, plan the speaker series for the year, and finally promote it to the students around campus. It may be hard to initially reach out to alumni and create virtual programs with them, however, we can defintely put together a week series with different speakers from different industries.</big>

Engagement is at an all time low currently. Many people might think that this is because of Covid-19, however this low engagment started happening even before it. Attention span of the average human is decresing exponentially every year and school must adapt to that. </big>

In addition to this, it would be essential to contact the dean of each class in order to propose these competitions and the best way to execute them. It may be hard to set up the competition, but we can partner with professors and their departments to come up with engaging programs.</big>

We figured that courses at Fordham that assign a group or individual projects will benefit from a day when students can collaborate with their peers to come up with ideas, prototype and gain feedback.</big>

<big><span style="text-align: left; color: rgb(29, 28, 29); text-transform: none; text-indent: 0px; letter-spacing: normal; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 700; text-decoration: none; word-spacing: 0px; display: inline !important; white-space: normal; orphans: 2; float: none; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">To make this project a reality, we would need to contact the appropriate Deans (specifically Dean Marisa Villani) and University Provost and provide them with a strong argument as to why an ideate day would prove beneficial for students and professors alike. The next step would be to speak directly to students to evaluate whether our peers believe that an ideate day would add value to their educational experience.</big>

<big><span style="text-align: left; color: rgb(29, 28, 29); text-transform: none; text-indent: 0px; letter-spacing: normal; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 700; text-decoration: none; word-spacing: 0px; display: inline !important; white-space: normal; orphans: 2; float: none; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">Logistically speaking, persuading professors to allow time to ideate can prove difficult, especially with educators who are disinclined to modify their syllabi and lesson schedule for such an activity. The goal is to have an ideate day be incorporated in select courses to aid students in their brainstorming stage of their projects resulting in higher quality deliverables. Once professors notice an improvement in the quality of work students have produced, they will see the value in having a day to ideate.</big>

This program will draw from all areas of study and assist students in exploring the cutting edge of their field by exposing them to the work of innovators within their discipline and teaching them how they can follow this path.</big>

In weekly meetings, they will engage in a thorough study of the field’s most recent developments and come to a better understanding of the challenges that are currently at play in this discipline. After familiarizing themselves with the ways in which innovators are working within their field and the ways the field is changing, students will learn innovation and entrepreneurship strategies. They will use these strategies (such as design thinking and rapid prototyping) to generate and flesh out an innovative/entrepreneurial idea over the remaining time in the semester. The two main deliverables are an analysis of innovation currently happening in the field and a prototype/report on an innovative idea that the</big>

By broadening these horizons, students can be alerted to potential career paths that they may not have previously considered and develop new skills that they may not have previously worked on. The project-based model will allow students to immediately put what they learned into action and develop their ideation and prototyping skills.</big>

 '''<big>Entrepreneurship Podcast: This project is our third priority beneficial because it truly caters towards our target audience: busy entrepreneurial students and students who are curious but too shy to fully commit to participating in I&E conventions. Furthermore, we found the control that we have over this project really appealing. It requires little funding and its implementation does not depend entirely on efforts made by stakeholders. That being said, our goal is, of course, to have their support as it will allow our project to be successful. While our ultimate goal will be to make a change in the way Fordham teaches entrepreneurship: this project, which is attainable and straightforward, will allow us to grow the community of entrepreneurs making it easier and more attractive to implement more courses related to I&E.</big>'''

'''<big>The podcast could host a guest and post an episode every month. The leadership circle would operate quite independently at first and be in charge of finding interested people, curating a list of questions, and hosting the episodes. As we gain traction and popularity, we could form an official club and recruit interested volunteers to continue creating podcast content and organize bi-annual events where students can physically come together and discuss topics related to I&E.</big>'''

'''<big>Finally, this project could be fully integrated within the university by partnering with the college career advisors that could help us find professionals to come and talk on the show. While also using our platform to advertise entrepreneurship and innovation internships and positions. </big> '''

'''<big>Venture Network: We have identified the Venture Network as our fourth strategic priority because we feel that it may not have as much of an impact on students as some of the other strategic priorities will. Also, it could be done in conjunction with other strategic priorities. The effect that this will have on students is that it will create a network of Fordham students and faculty to make them more aware of the current entrepreneurial ventures that members of the Fordham community have created. Social media accounts will be created, and they are designated to inspire others, Gabelli or Fordham College alike, to become more entrepreneurial and create their start-ups. </big>'''

'''<big>Currently, the Instagram account @venture.network is already up and running, ready to share success stories. To make this happen officially, we will need to get approval from the Office of Student Affairs on campus. We would need to reach out to many students and faculty who currently run their businesses and interview them. The entire leadership circle would create the questions, schedule for these posts, and meetings at Fordham, and the tasks would be split up according to everyone’s schedules. Eventually, a club could be created where the accounts can all be run by passionate students, and possibly develop into a newsletter.</big>'''

'''<big>By reaching out to the Fordham community and connecting those who are passionate changemakers, it will inspire Fordham to connect with each other and become inspired to make more change. The goal is to connect the entrepreneurial community at Fordham further, and a social media network we feel would be a good start. </big>'''

We also determined that it will take roughly a month to form this coalition but relies on the effort and mindset of the clubs in regards to its impact and effect.</big>

Change like increasing the resources at our second campus, creating events together, gaining more involvement by marketing the clubs as a whole, teaching Design Thinking workshops, creating new classes and much more!

After our discussion, we came to the final conclusion that an app has the potential to impact every Fordham student if they all use the app, but it would take a while to build and work out the bugs. We estimate it could take up to a year to get the app up and running, but the timeline is not clear as of now due to the fact that the Foundry, the entrepreneurial hub on campus, has created apps and could possibly help us achieve it sooner.</big>

The next step in the process is to speak with the Foundry about the help they may be able to provide and how many people would need to be involved in creating the app. Specifically, I would like to speak with Sean Johnson, an entrepreneur in residence who helped with the creation of another app over the course of this past summer. In addition, I intend to call upon students who have created apps in the past like a colleague named Joseph VanGostein.</big>

[[File:FordhamLogo.png|FordhamLogo.png|alt=|right|frameless]]We’re a Jesuit, Catholic university. Our spirit comes from the nearly 500-year history of the Jesuits. It’s the spirit of full-hearted engagement—with profound ideas, with communities around the world, with injustice, with beauty, with the entirety of the human experience.

 This is what makes us [https://www.fordham.edu/ Fordham]: We’re a tight community in New York City, and we value and educate the whole person. Much of our Jesuit history and mission comes down to three ideas, which, translated from the Latin, mean roughly this:

*Strive for excellence in everything you do.
*Care for others.
*Fight for justice.

It adds up to an education that works. 

'''Wisdom, experience, morality, critical thinking, creative problem-solving. This is what Fordham students take into the world.'''

=Innovation & Entrepreneurship=

==Promoting Student Innovation & Entrepreneurship==
<div>Fordham promotes student innovation and entrepreneurship through formal programs and extracurricular activities. Fordham offers many different concentrations that deal with innovation and entrepreneurship, from sustainable business to social innovation concentration, enabling its students to explore and learn valuable skills. Fordham also offers classes that allow students to pursue innovation or entrepreneurship after college, such as “Launch Your Start-Up” and “Leadership and Change”. The University houses numerous extracurricular activities and innovation spaces that further allow students to expand their knowledge outside the classroom. The Fordham Foundry and Social Innovation Collaboratory are spaces and extracurricular offerings where like-minded individuals are able to help one another and work together. The Fordham Foundry provides competitive opportunities that give students a chance to win monetary prizes based on their businesses or business ideas, such as the Pitch Challenge. Additionally, the Entrepreneurship Society, Gabelli Technology and Entrepreneurship (GTECH), and Social Impact 360 are other extracurricular outlets for students to further their interests in innovation and entrepreneurship.</div><div> </div>

==Encouraging Faculty Innovation & Entrepreneurship==

Fordham has been named a “Changemaker Campus” by Ashoka, a global organization that honors universities for innovative efforts to foster social good and strengthen society. As a Jesuit institution, Fordham strongly believes in social innovation and entrepreneurship, as well as investing in the continuous development of their faculty and staff. Although Fordham has yet to pursue any policy changes to encourage more faculty entrepreneurship, the faculty lead by example, actively share their learnings and best practices, and participate in new advancing the field of social innovation and change making in higher education.

==Actively Supporting the University Technology Transfer Function==

Fordham has a fundamental respect for intellectual property that is produced by either employees or students at the University. As a university, it has a nationally recognized Intellectual Property, Media & Entertainment Law Journal, that has been running since 1990. Fordham also offers a variety of classes to educate students on the fundamentals and specifics of patent laws. The University has sought seed and alumni donations to properly fund professional and technological research.

==Facilitating University-Industry Collaboration==

Fordham has The Office of Corporate and Foundations Relations which works with the President's council to establish strategic partnerships with corporations. They create mutually beneficial relationships between the University and corporations. Some examples of actions they’ve helped institute include: hosting CEO breakfasts, using relationships for student internships, guest lectures from business professionals and more. The Fordham Foundry, Fordham’s hub for innovation and entrepreneurship, also works closely with numerous student and alumni run start-up businesses. The Fordham Foundry provides great resources through their network and partnerships with NYC Business Solutions, BNP Paribas, and NASDAQ OMX Education Foundation to help, educate, and connect entrepreneurial students.

==Engaging with Regional & Local Economic Development Efforts==

As the only Jesuit University in New York, Fordham is committed to the discovery of wisdom and the transmission of learning, through research and effort to help its surrounding community. New York City provides Fordham with a special kind of classroom, its unparalleled resources shape and enhance Fordham's professional and undergraduate programs. The University recognizes its debt of gratitude to the city and its responsibility to enrich of NYC. Furthermore, Fordham is committed to research and education that assist in the alleviation of poverty, the promotion of justice, the protection of human rights and respect for the environment. Fordham has a variety of programs that get students involved in the community and local businesses through volunteer opportunities. Opportunities include Urban Plunge, the Center for Community-Engaged learning, and the Dorothy Day Center. These resources really give students hands-on experiences to contribute to a greater cause.

==Bio==
"In the joy of others, lies our own" - H.D.H. Pramukh Swami Maharaj

I am currently a sophomore in the Gabelli School of Business at Fordham University enrolled in Gabelli's Ignite Scholars Honors Program focused on developing business leaders that affect positive change. I am pursuing a Marketing major with a focus in digital media and technology. I love to involve myself in school and am part of Social Impact 360 as a fellow in order to make a difference in the world by creating a socially innovative business and Metro Consulting as a mentor in order to help Bronx-based businesses to grow and succeed. I am heavily involved with the Fordham Model United Nations club and travel team.

In my free time, I love following my videography passions. I got into photography and videography working as a volunteer at the BAPS Shri Swaminarayan Sanstha where I was able to grow my skills exponentially. Just recently I started a videography business to film any type of event. I love graphic design and have mastered the Adobe Suite and apply my skills through the different things I do. I am an administrative assistant director at the National High School Model United Nations Conference at the UN Headquarters in NYC and am using my graphic design and videography knowledge to increase retention and provide graphics/videos for social media use.

==Achievements==
- Honorable Mention at Harvard National Model United Nations 

- Placed 2nd in the Fordham Venmo Case Challenge 

- Woolworth Award - Awarded to first-year students to recognize high academic achievement 

- Verbal Commendation at University of Pennsylvania Model United Nations Conference

==Bio==
"In the joy of others, lies our own" - H.D.H. Pramukh Swami Maharaj

I am currently a sophomore in the Gabelli School of Business at Fordham University enrolled in Gabelli's Ignite Scholars Honors Program focused on developing business leaders that affect positive change. I am pursuing a Marketing major with a focus in digital media and technology. I love to involve myself in school and am part of Social Impact 360 as a fellow in order to make a difference in the world by creating a socially innovative business and Metro Consulting as a mentor in order to help Bronx-based businesses to grow and succeed. I am heavily involved with the Fordham Model United Nations club and travel team.

In my free time, I love following my videography passions. I got into photography and videography working as a volunteer at the BAPS Shri Swaminarayan Sanstha where I was able to grow my skills exponentially. Just recently I started a videography business to film any type of event. I love graphic design and have mastered the Adobe Suite and apply my skills through the different things I do. I am an administrative assistant director at the National High School Model United Nations Conference at the UN Headquarters in NYC and am using my graphic design and videography knowledge to increase retention and provide graphics/videos for social media use.

==Achievements==
- Honorable Mention at Harvard National Model United Nations 

- Placed 2nd in the Fordham Venmo Case Challenge 

- Woolworth Award - Awarded to first-year students to recognize high academic achievement 

- Verbal Commendation at University of Pennsylvania Model United Nations Conference
