Camille Eddy is currently studying Mechanical Engineering and entered UIF with Boise State University.

After taking an interest in space science she led several programs involved in research in space, including the NASA Microgravity Undergraduate Research program during her second year, where she worked closely with former astronaut Barbara Morgan. Other programs included the Space Broncos who accomplished a downlink with International Space Station and later a research grant from the Miles Undergraduate Research Initiative where she studied Augmented Reality. At the end of her second year, she accepted an internship at HP and began developing robotics in the Robot Development Lab. She then advanced to another internship at HP Inc’s headquarters in Palo Alto, California as a Machine Learning Intern studying a new generation of smart robotics.

Most recently, Camille completed a 7-month robotics internship at Google X in Mountain View, California. She has spoken at the Non-Profit Technology Conference in Washington D.C. and the Humanity.ai conference in SF on Cultural Bias in artificial intelligence. And finally, she has spoken on student leadership several times including a speech that introduced President Obama at Boise State in 2015.

[[File:Tommylippman.JPG|right|200px|Tommylippman.JPG]] Hi, my name's Tommy. I am a transfer student and senior at Boise State University, earning a degree in sociology and a certificate in leadership. Passionate about team building and organizational success, I provide ways to gather, create, and innovate in my community. My current interests include student affairs and social change, as these fields pertain to academic success and involvement, cultivating a purpose for learning and influencing the way humans shape the world. The ultimate goal? To operate a speakeasy bar and restaurant. In the meantime, I'll be working towards a graduate school. Feel free to reach out to me with ideas about our campus community and let's get to work! I'm always looking for coffee drinkers who want to change the world one sip at a time.

{{#Widget:Youtube|id=gbHu8HA4Ifw}}

== Spring 2016 ==

{{#Widget:Youtube|id=Tz6zaINxFr4}}

= SPRING 2017 Proiorities =

= Strategy #1: Cultivate and Foster a Student Culture That Improves Retention and Collaboration Across Campus =

= Student Leadership Summit: The idea is simple, if culture is a collection of individuals then first and foremost those individuals must be IN a collective. One way to achieve this is having them in same room, similar to a stakeholder meeting. The goal is to increase the connectivity between clubs and student orgs as to develop and cultivate that student culture. Once a student culture is positive and it can also help to increase retention. =

= Collaboritive Student Spaces:The design of the spaces on campus influence how students use them. Our team wants to increase the amount of those spaces by changing adapting current spaces. When spaces are opened up and changed to it leaves more room to foster collobration. When collobration is increased it helps to cultivate more student culture. =
<div>'''FALL 2016 Priorities'''</div>
= Strategy #1: Encourage and Promote a System of Diverse Learning Styles That Allows for Interdisciplinary Collaboration =

== 72 Hour Design Thinking Challenge ==

*Multidisciplinary student-teams work together over a 72 hour period to develop new models of education.
*Each student-team showcases and pitches their model to the school administration and investors of the school.
*Based on the success of these pitches, new educational models will be adopted and integrated, in a partnership with the school administration and investors of the university, to radically reimagine higher education systems.
*To be held ever year year to meet a constantly changing 'start-up' university model that exists at Boise State University.

= Strategy #2: Build Interdisiplinary Student Community and Increase Social Support For Students  =

== Integration of Self-Care, Self-Awareness and Social Awareness Into Education System (Student, Teacher, Classroom, Campus) ==

*

== Development and Implementation of Interdisciplinary Cohort Group ==

*

= SPRING 2016 Priorities =

= Strategy #1: Increase Awareness of Innovation and Entrepreneurship in Engineering =

== Engineering & Innovation Living-Learning Community ==

*Freshmen students with majors in the College of Innovation and Design and the College of Engineering live together and take a class which involves community service and team building, as well as aspects of the different majors encompassed by CID and Engineering.
*This Living-Learning Community (LLC) was just established (formerly it was only engineering students), and thus could be a great place to prototype the implementation of I&E concepts and engage freshmen with these ideas
*This is also a great place to test the effectiveness of LLCs in creating a community across disciplines

== Introduce I&E Concepts in Introduction to Engineering Classes ==

*All incoming freshmen engineering students are required to take ENGR 120 (Introduction to Engineering) or ENGR 130 (Introduction to Engineering Applications)
*These courses are project-based, and teach students about engineering disciplines, as well as developing critical thinking and provides a "design-oriented engineering experience"
*ENGR 130 involves a service project where students work with a client from the community to apply the engineering design process to solve a problem
*While some design thinking is already a part of these courses, there could be room for the addition of more explicitly human-centered design principles into the curriculum
*This could also be a platform to introduce engineering students to entrepreneurship concepts to which they may not otherwise be exposed 

== Promote Growth of Vertically Integrated Projects ==

*The Vertically Integrated Projects (VIP) Program unites undergraduate education and faculty research in a team-based context
*Undergraduate VIP students earn academic credits, while faculty and graduate students benefit from the design/discovery efforts of their teams
*The Boise State University VIP program is part of a broad national and international consortium of universities
*While this program already exists in an early phase, more work remains to create campus-wide awareness about the vision and purpose of Vertically Integrated Projects in order to attract students and faculty to participate in current and new projects
*This program presents an inherent opportunity for a culture of I&E to thrive in a community of students and faculty from different disciplines across campus
*VIP projects differ from a traditional research lab setting in that the experiences, interests, and abilities of all members - faculty and students alike - are valued equally
*Close-knit VIP teams provide an opportunity to support vulnerable populations of students who might not finish their degrees without a supportive community and mentorship opportunities

== Provide Opportunities for Entrepreneurship Mentoring to Engineering Students ==

*The New Product Development Lab, housed within the College of Engineering, mostly provides rapid prototyping and design consulting services to local businesses and entrepreneurs outside the university, but is also a resource available to student entrepreneurs that is not currently well-publicized
*While Venture College's services are available to all students, and they have been expanding their reach to Computer Science majors, this services is still unknown to most engineering majors
*A goal for the future would be to implement a program which partners engineering students with ideas with mentors from the local entrepreneurship community and/or students from the Business College to help them work toward commercializing their ideas (or co-developing ideas for new ventures)

= Strategy #2: Promote Collaboration Across Disciplines on Campus =

== Promote New and Existing Spaces for Interdisciplinary Collaboration and Idea Generation and Work Toward Making More ==

*The Honors College provides dorms and multi-disciplinary classes to connect students from different majors
*Some Living-Learning Communities offer cross-disciplinary themes such as fitness, while some are major- or college-specific.
*The MakerLab is a makerspace hosted in the Boise State Library and run by librarians and student employees.  This space is very user-driven, and offers student- and staff-led workshops on technologies such as arduinos and 3D printing.  Students can print designs for free on the two 3D printers.

== Host a TEDx Boise Viewing Party ==

*TEDx tickets are often outside the price range of interested students
*Hosting a live streaming event of the talks would be a great opportunity to foster collaboration and creativity among a group of interested students
*This could be a good "hook" to get students into the event, where we could then direct them to other on- and off-campus resources

= Strategy #3: Increase Overall Student Awareness of I&E Concepts and Resources =

== Create a Website for I&E Resources ==

*Create a one-page website with links to relevant resources on and off campus
*Publish through the College of Innovation and Design's website
*Advertise the website in department email newsletters across campus
*Try to get a link put on students' my.Boisestate pages

== Freshmen Orientation Design Thinking Pop-Up ==

*Create a design thinking pop-up program as part of freshmen orientation
*Engage students to think about what they want to do in terms of a mission, not just a major

== Integrate Design Thinking Concepts into University Foundations Courses ==

*All incoming Boise State students are required to take these courses
*Each section explores a different concept (e.g. "The History and Future of Education", "Invention and Discovery")
*While innovation is a core part of the mission of the UF program, design thinking is not an explicit part of the curriculum of most sections right now
*This might be another great place to introduce I&E concepts to freshmen

== Reach Out to Underserved Groups Through the Institute for STEM and Diversity ==

*The Institute for STEM and Diversity runs a number of programs aimed at underserved populations such as minorities and students who are the first in their families to go to college
*This could be a great connection to reach out to these populations, who might not otherwise be reached

= Strategy #4: Provide Feedback Mechanisms for Students to Give Input to the University Administration =

== Implement a student satisfaction survey ==

*The overall intent of this survey would be to gather a significant amount of data on what actual students think of our ideas and of what is currently available on campus right now, to help ground our mission for change in facts and figures
*The use of a Likert scale (e.g. Very good, good, neutral, bad, very bad) could allow students to rate various aspects of their experience (e.g. I&E resources, quality of education, value for tuition, quality of faculty overall, internship and job opportunities, etc.)
*This survey could be dynamic (e.g. questions could change based on identifiers such as major, part-time/full-time, etc.) to gather specific data about different parts of the student population
*Open-ended feedback could allow us to gather new ideas about what students are interested in

== Host an event to generate student ideas for campus improvements ==

*This could be a workshop, or more of a design sprint or hackathon
*We could break out into small teams and document feedback
*A streamlined report could be addressed to the university administration
*Our partnerships with the MakerLab and College of Innovation and Design could provide conduits to implement some ideas

== Provide a social feedback system ==

*Allow students to submit ideas for improving campus online
*Each idea/thread can be upvoted or downvoted and allows comments
*Top upvoted ideas for a given period can be candidates for implementation, or at least get a response from the university administration
*Another approach for an online community could be a slack channel.  A Boise State slack channel already exists, but is not well-publicized outside of the MakerLab and Computer Science communities.

== Create a Website for I&E Resources ==

*Create a one-page website with links to relevant resources on and off campus
*Publish through the College of Innovation and Design's website
*Advertise the website in department email newsletters across campus
*Try to get a link put on students' my.Boisestate pages

== Freshmen Orientation Design Thinking Pop-Up ==

*Create a design thinking pop-up program as part of freshmen orientation
*Engage students to think about what they want to do in terms of a mission, not just a major

== Integrate Design Thinking Concepts into University Foundations Courses ==

*All incoming Boise State students are required to take these courses
*Each section explores a different concept (e.g. "The History and Future of Education", "Invention and Discovery")
*While innovation is a core part of the mission of the UF program, design thinking is not an explicit part of the curriculum of most sections right now
*This might be another great place to introduce I&E concepts to freshmen

== Reach Out to Underserved Groups Through the Institute for STEM and Diversity ==

*The Institute for STEM and Diversity runs a number of programs aimed at underserved populations such as minorities and students who are the first in their families to go to college
*This could be a great connection to reach out to these populations, who might not otherwise be reached

= Strategy #4: Provide Feedback Mechanisms for Students to Give Input to the University Administration =

== Implement a student satisfaction survey ==

*The overall intent of this survey would be to gather a significant amount of data on what actual students think of our ideas and of what is currently available on campus right now, to help ground our mission for change in facts and figures
*The use of a Likert scale (e.g. Very good, good, neutral, bad, very bad) could allow students to rate various aspects of their experience (e.g. I&E resources, quality of education, value for tuition, quality of faculty overall, internship and job opportunities, etc.)
*This survey could be dynamic (e.g. questions could change based on identifiers such as major, part-time/full-time, etc.) to gather specific data about different parts of the student population
*Open-ended feedback could allow us to gather new ideas about what students are interested in

== Host an event to generate student ideas for campus improvements ==

*This could be a workshop, or more of a design sprint or hackathon
*We could break out into small teams and document feedback
*A streamlined report could be addressed to the university administration
*Our partnerships with the MakerLab and College of Innovation and Design could provide conduits to implement some ideas

== Provide a social feedback system ==

*Allow students to submit ideas for improving campus online
*Each idea/thread can be upvoted or downvoted and allows comments
*Top upvoted ideas for a given period can be candidates for implementation, or at least get a response from the university administration
*Another approach for an online community could be a slack channel.  A Boise State slack channel already exists, but is not well-publicized outside of the MakerLab and Computer Science communities.

Hi, my name's Tommy. I am a transfer student and senior at Boise State University, earning a degree in sociology and a certificate in leadership. Passionate about team building and organizational success, I provide ways to gather, create, and innovate in my community. My current interests include student affairs and social change, as these fields pertain to academic success and involvement, cultivating a purpose for learning and influencing the way humans shape the world. The ultimate goal? To operate a speakeasy bar and restaurant. In the meantime, I'll be working towards a graduate school. Feel free to reach out to me with ideas about our campus community and let's get to work! I'm always looking for coffee drinkers who want to change the world one sip at a time.

Summary William Papper is a student at Stanford University, having transferred from Washington University in St. Louis. He is double majoring in computer science and a multidisciplinary program involving Philosophy, Neuroscience, and Psychology. During his interview, Papper spoke about his experience as co-director of a student-led consulting organization for local startups and businesses: Bear Studios provides solutions in technology, business operations, and venture strategy for clients. Will went into detail about how to start and grow a consulting businesses using students at his university. He provided professional experience to the students he worked with, transforming how businesses connect with university students. Will also discussed in detail just how he formed the right team of student consultants, acquired clients domestic and abroad, and grew his organization to what it is now. 

Student-led consulting organization

The student-led organization that Will started is a firm in which students give ideas and advice to clients who approach them for a fee. These clients may be individual clients or organizational clients. For example when we travel to places we are not aware of, we hire a guide to us about the places and we need to pay him. If some of such guides form a group and take turns to guide people it is a small Consulting Organization. In the same way if it is led by students, It is called a Student-led Consulting Organization. 

Grouping may be done according to the strengths of individuals or else asking them to join the group of interests . An organisation will be more successful only when the employees work according to their passion. Make sure that you recruit only people that are passionate to work.Do not take any chance in recruiting because it would be only a project for you but it may be life for somebody else. 

Generally students will be much eager in starting such organisations and may not look at all the difficulties they may come across.The major Difficulties they may come across are:

1. They may not get sufficient capital. Also if they get enough , they may not expend in the right way.

2. They may also get the problem while working in team , certainly no one would compromise on their ideas.

3. Also if they overcome every difficulty , promoting their organisation plays a very important role.

4. Retaining their position in market for a long period also another difficult task for them.

 Starting the consulting organization

First of all the students who look forward to start a Consulting Organisation should look at the basic needs that the people want. Then they need to think up to what extent they can contribute to meet the needs of people.

We know that students are busy and might be wary of the time commitment needed to complete short deadlines and big projects. Provide students support by giving them all the resources and tools they need. In this way students can be nudged past their comfort zone and realize their capability to work on a good team even while they are in school. Continue to reaffirm the value of the team members and that they see the product of their work. This could mean paying them or rewarding them in some other way.

Starting a client list can be intimidating at first and one of the toughest things in starting a consulting organization, but a good strategy in growing that list is good marketing. Clients will usually approach you if they know you have technical skills they need, but you need to be out there talking to people. A good way source of clients is the engineering department at your school; companies often reach out to different departments asking for students to work on projects and they can refer them to you. Business plan competitions or community plan competitions are another good option as they usually have start ups looking for people to satisfy certain needs. Another less thought of option is proactively emailing local companies letting them know you exist and are happy to work with them if they ever need your assistance. 

In terms of negotiating the price rates, due to the fact that they are a student-led organizations, they charge less than the standard rates. However, they value the opportunity for learning more than profit. According to Will, he determines his pricing based on not only market rates but also the rates high-end companies are currently charging their clients, a normal mobile app development case usually costs from $500 to $2000. The payment method they adopted are two time payments including the one upfront and the one upon the completion of the project. A lawyer is needed for contract negotiations and processing legal documents. Growing a sustainable organization

Attaining consistency is not small thing to achieve. because it does depend on many internal and external factors of the organization. The organisation should Improve their strengths and overcome their weaknesses.Other than these the organisation should look at the opportunities that are available to them in market. It should also look at the threats such as competition etc. Besides these, the organisation improve its Research and Development ( R&D ) unit. Because once a problem is solved , certainly another problem will be arised. So the organisation should keep them updated according to the needs. 

When it comes to corporate structure, Will shared his experience with us about his mistake on not forming an LLC when he first started. Forming an LLC is not only the best way to protect personal asset from the business debts and liabilities of the LLC, but also the LLCs to do not have to pay taxes at the business level.

There are many ways to leverage the benefits in being a student led consulting organization. Being students gives the advantage of being able to charge less; many students don’t have many living expenses outside of tuition and room and board; recourses are also provided on campuses, such as meeting rooms and office supplies. Another benefit in being student led is the education mission, where clients feel good they are helping students learn and giving them a chance to work on real world projects.
