Bryan.zaremba: /* Faculty Innovation and Entrepreneurship */

== Overview[[File:26b5a8f0-ce68-4efd-ad52-1736e235f6bcc6d58a01-7ac9-4445-ae8d-5238cfce40a7.jpg|thumb]] ==

Menlo College is Silicon Valley's small private school with 900 students. Located in Atherton, California, Menlo College offers degrees in business, as well as a psychology. Being in the heart of Silicon Valley, Menlo College provides its students a unique approach to business: small class sizes with acess to companies such as Facebook and Google, a short drive away from our campus. However, Menlo College is such a small college, we lack many resources needed for a strong entreprenuarship and innovation program. Having the influence of such great entrepreneurial corporations around us is not enough to implement our own ideas as students without the necessary materials, mentors and an area to foster creativity. Therefore, the UIF Leadership Circle of Menlo College looks forward to identifying the gaps in our ecosystem, which need to strengthen in order for Menlo College students to fully embrace entrepreneurship and innovation.

== Student Entrepreneurship ==

Menlo College students are passionate about entrepreneurship and innovation; except, there are only minimal assets for them to utilize on campus. Entrepreneruship is offered as a major for those pursuing a business degree and is a growing major at Menlo College. The large presence of clubs on campus gives students the extracurricular opportunities to explore their areas of interest, such as the Pioneer Club, an organization strictly designed for entrepreneurs and creative thinkers alike. Menlo College Office of Career Services hosts a number of career orientated workshops, such as how to create a cover letter and resume workshop to learning how to set up a Linkedin profile; these are just a few of the events Menlo College offers to support entrepreneurship in their studnts. In addition, this was the first year Menlo participated in the Hult Prize competition, a start-up accelorator for social entrepreneruship. With the success of this competition, Menlo College is looking to expand on-campus challenges.

== Faculty Innovation and Entrepreneurship ==

Being in the heart of the Silicon Valley, most of our faculty members are not only professors, they have either experience in the world of business or are currently in the work force.  Many professors share their entrepreneurial experiences in class, whether it is indirect or directly tied to entrepreneurship.  Menlo College students are grateful to be backed by administration and faculty, who see the potential and need for expansion into entrepreneurship and innovation on campus  Menlo College students, with the support of faculty, have organised three successful Startup weekends. In November 2020, Menlo hosted, virtually, Startup Weekend Silicon Valley Womxn. More than 100 people attended.

== University Technology Transfer Function ==

Our school does not have a technology transfer office.

== University - Industry Collaboration ==

As an undergraduate school, Menlo College does not host the amount of research as a gradaute univeristy. Many professors conduct research, furthering their professional area of study, but their work is not directly linked to students. As a possible solution, Menlo College can partner in collaboration efforts with Stanford University and other local univerisities for students to see and utilize the resources in their surrounding environment.

== Regional and Local Economic Development ==

Menlo College has a very low regional and local ecomonic development. Possibly due to the fact that our campus and its students do not have access to a specific entrepreneruship deparment or designated leader. There is a lack of awareness surrounding entrepreneruship and innovation on campus. Ultimately, this deprives students from pursuing their innovative business ideas as well as learning the steps to fully develop their ideas. 

The economic development in the surrounding areas of campus have shown a strong trend of growth in the past 5 years but there's low accesibility for students to take advantage and get involved. Menlo College itself as an institution is now playing catch up in comparison to surrounding organizations. Menlo College can be doing a lot more in the aspect of connecting students to more resources in the area, whether that be for conferences, lectures, company tours, etc. The focus on secured employment and internships on campus is beginning to overshadow the school's original entrepreneurial potential. As University Innovation Fellows it's our responsibility to remind the school of it's origins and innovative mentality.

;School (Cohort): Menlo College (2021 cohort)
;Majoring in: Finance and Business Analytics
;Country: France
;Email: [[Special:EmailUser/Bryan.zaremba]]
|}

==Bio==
Bryan Zaremba is from Paris, France. He is double majoring in Finance and Business Analytics. He joined the University Innovation Program and its family in the year 2021. After 18 years in France and right just after High School, Bryan moved to the United States of America in 2018 to pursue his study at Menlo College, which is located right in the Silicon Valley.

Bryan is a passionate person. He likes (almost) everything that he is doing. His favorite things to do are playing sport (Tennis, Basketball, Soccer, Wakeboard, etc). Coming from a family with country diversity, he has always loved traveling and meeting new people to know more about their culture, life, food, and more. He is a very empathic and grateful person that always tried to help people the best he can.

==Achievements==
Bryan has achieved to be on the Dean List every single semester he has studied at Menlo College so far. His academic record allowed him to get 3 Awards last year: Alpha Chi, Beta Gamma Sigma, and Tri Alpha.

Bryan is also very engaged on his campus. He is a Student Representative at the Strategic Planning Committee of Menlo College. With his Colleague and friend Bianca (UIF member), they got the chance to propose and induct different things on campus such as the Mentorship Program for upcoming international students. Bryan is also actively engaged in various clubs at Menlo College. He is the Vice President of RISE (Rising in Self Empowerment) founded by Basil (UIF member). Also, he is engaged in the Oaks Innovation Club, founded by Ethan (UIF member), where he worked with his teammates for over a year on the third Start-up Weekend Silicon Valley (Womxn).

These commitments and achievements prove his love for Menlo College and its Community. He also shows how entrepreneurship (Thinking outside the box, Making change, Questioning, Empathy) has become something important for him. After School, Bryan would like to implement what he has learned and achieved at a bigger scale so that people in need get the chance he has got.
