==Overview==
St. Edward's University is a Holy-Cross institution with a focus on liberal arts. As a former commuter school St. Edward's has some struggles with community, students often reserve themselves from collaborating with others, and branching out to new and different communities than are provided by their living situation, major, and other contexts. The school doesn't lack a foundation of I & E resources, but the reservation of students (in their time, comfortability with others, etc.) it is difficult to gain traction with these resources on campus.
 
==I & E Resources==

===Promoting student innovation & entrepreneurship:===
There are a number of clubs offered at this university to promote I&E; venture club helps students create a business from the ground up helping at every stage along the way, students for sustainability encourages creative thinking and problem solving about the campuses carbon footprint, the library innovation lab offers experiential learning for students interested in the innovation. As well as an entrepreneurship major offering start up challenges that are open to all students.
 
===Encouraging faculty innovation & entrepreneurship:===
A number of grants are offered to faculty to encourage innovation and thinking that differs from what is traditionally taught in education. The Teaching, Learning, and Technology roundtable offers funding for projects within the classroom. One example is the Wetland Ecology course in the Environmental Science program, students have the opportunity to build a canoe from scratch along with their coursework. The Innovation Fellowship and Center for Teaching Excellence offer similar grants to encourage new and innovative teaching methods.
 
===Facilitating university-industry collaboration:===
The i4 institute, a NSF funded grant, offers resources to help connect students to industry. i4 provides a shoe-in for students in STEM seeking out internship opportunities, helps students practice interviewing, and offers opportunities for students to acquire training/microcredients and provides reimbursement.
 
===Engaging with regional and local economic development efforts:===

Priorities:St Edwards University Student Priorities

Burdwilliamethan: Fixed spacing.

'''Collaborative Spaces on Campus'''

*Interview demographically different students to get an idea of who we need to prioritize tailoring these spaces to.
**Find out what they need to encourage them to go to collaborative spaces more & what's missing.

'''Mental Health Awareness'''

*Understand the landscape of students who utilize the mental health resources.
**From that discover how people found out about these resources.
**How was the schools marketing of these resources affective in these cases?
*From those examples how can we make the marketing more effective.

'''Makerspace Re-Opening'''

*Prototype strategies to make resources like this feel more accessible to people of all majors.
*Showcase the multidisciplinary potential of a makerspace.
*Prove it's value by gathering a team to produce a tangible product.

'''Extended Library Hours'''

*Prototype to prove it improves student retention to the school (instead of transferring) and thus pays off the university.
*Find ways to make it doable with less intensive requirements on staffing (only require ID to get in, no staffing?).
*Prove that increasing hours in the library is helpful for collaboration and study.

==Bio==
Hello, I am Ethan Burd, a creative, an entrepreneur, and an engineer. I’m studying Computer Science at St. Edward’s University.

I’ve taken time off of school to discover that somehow, there’s always something new that excites me. I’m not particularly captivated by one thing. I value learning and I value relationships with people. I think I’m just captivated by the world!

Recent endeavors I have found myself motivated by: a two story treehouse as a social space for the people I love, a robotic crane arm with a microcontroller to train my dog, a laminar flow hood to create a sterile lab space for cultivating gourmet mushrooms, and most recently a backgammon board cast of epoxy resin.

My goals and path have varied and changed through the course of my life. Not knowing my path has been a large source of stress for me. I still struggle not knowing where I’ll end up, but have learned a lot about self respect and self trust in the process.

For all I know, I could graduate with a degree in fine arts! But one thing is for sure, I ''love'' working with my hands to influence the world and the people around me.
