'''Spring 2018'''

=== '''Project One: Reconstructing areas in each building into innovation hubs''' ===

Currently, the University of Tulsa has each school split up into different buildings organized together and spread across campus. This is a convient setup for walking between classes, but unfortunetly has limited cross-disciplinary interaction between different majors. Each building also has its own lounge area that is currently being under-utilized.

=== '''Project Two: Get credit for extracurriculars that contribute to innovation''' ===

The goal of this project is do have the University give students credit for extracurriculars involving innovation. This will give students the ability to do innovation work in a busy course schedule. Many students want to work on innovation, but they are double majors or minors and do not have time to truly invest into many extracurricular activities.

Short Term (before the end of fall 2018 semester): Gain support from professors and administrators in each college. Create a plan and outline of how to make the extracurriculars available to all students and how each extracurricular would fit into each major’s graduation plan.

Medium Term (before the end of spring 2019 semester) : Present to President of University of Deans of each colleges.

Medium/Long'''Term (fall semester 2019):''' Have a list of extracurriculars open to all students that count as one hour courses P/F.

Long Term (fall semester 2020): Have the extracurriculars online and part of the source selection plan. Have the classes be worth 3-4 hours and have grades.

=== '''Project Three: Connecting Student Groups to Companies in the Region''' ===

The University of Tulsa has a number of marvelous number of resources for students to take advantage of. There are a handful of highly educated and extremely motivated faculty who are available to help students in any venture they may engage in. However so, these resources may be limited and some student organizations may need additional guidance to succeed. 

==== Goals and Desired Outcomes ====

One strategic priority that we hold dear to our hearts is establishing a program to connect Investors and local businesses to students to enable the flow of resources and mentorship. We strongly believe that connecting students to large companies will be highly beneficial for several reasons.

First, and most interestingly, companies in the area will be granted access to the information of students studying Innovation and Entrepreneurship. They will be encouraged to hire students to tackle major challenges that the companies may have. Companies will be incentivized to provide guidance as they will have access to some of the most intelligent and capable pupils.

Secondly, we would like to connect students with ideas to these companies so they may have connections and such when preparing to launch or grow their companies. Initial funding in exchange for equity would be a major key to leading student companies to success. The hope is that companies as such will encourage staff to assist students with any issues they may have. For example, say a student needs legal guidance, a company lawyer can provide basic guidance and resources to help that student. 

Third, we hope that companies would allow students to tour their establishments and demonstrate how they operate. Students will become much more engaged with their studies as they can observe how applicable what they are learning is in the real world.

Fourth, our goal is to encourage companies to invest in student organizations by providing gear and supplies that is relative to their industry. Additionally, companies would be encouraged to fund excursions to conferences and other events related to the field that the company is in.

As the University of Tulsa is located in Tulsa Oklahoma, many of the largest companies in the area tend to be oil and gas companies. Companies we aim to partner with include QuikTrip, BOK, OneOK, ONE Gas, Phillips 66 and the Ross Group.

== '''Introduction: TU Well-positioned to help Tulsa's growing I&E community thrive. ''' ==

Tulsa is in the midst of a growing wave of startups and new local businesses. Numerous renovation projects are underway in the city's historically and culturally rich downtown and surrounding districts, and local philanthropic families and organizations are united in betting on entrepreneurship to fuel economic growth for the 21st century. The University of Tulsa is perfectly positioned to augment and enhance efforts by stakeholders, and to add their efforts to the task of steering Tulsa's huge potential growth in the coming decades.

== '''Promoting student innovation and entrepreneurship''' ==

The University of Tulsa is promoting student I&E in several ways. TU's Innovation and Entrepreneurship Certificate and the I&E Minor allow students of any major to learn about the practical, financial, and legal implications of starting a business, as well as get their feet wet ideating, prototyping, and brainstorming on team projects. Classes required for the Certificate and Minor include MGT2043 Entrepreneurship Startup, MGT 4053 Entrepreneurship, MKTG2013 Applied Creativity and Innovation, MGT 3053 Enterprise Creation and Development, BL 3113 Business Law for Entrepreneurs, and MGT 4163 Entrepreneurial Leadership and Strategy.

Currently at TU, there is a limited amount of non I&E classes that have a focus in I&E priciples. TU offers a course called Global Challenges. This class is limited to students that are accepted into the Global Scholars program. Within this class, students are given the opportunity to build a project based on an assigned "global challenge"(Migration, Resources, Technology, Population, etc.) The students are given time, support, and resources to focus on the problem in their local area. 

There are also experimental courses offered but they are mostly in the College of Engineering. Senior Design Projects allow creative freedom within Computer Science, Computer Information Systems, and Mechanical Engineeringe 

The advisory board of TU's Entrepenuer Department is Profressor Clair Cornell, Dr. Tracy Suter, Dr. Charles Wood, and Dr. Larry Wofford. 

Professor Claire Cornell is an advocate for student participation in the annual Love's Cup state and regional business plan competition, and teaches MGT 4143: Governors Cup Bus Plan to allow students to focus their time and earn credit for their participation. Dr. Tracy Suter is the David and Leslie Lawson Associate Professor of Entrepreneurship at TU, and teaches Enterprise Creation Development and Applied Innovation and Creativity, along with other business and marketing courses.

Dr. Charles Wood is a Fulbright Scholar and the faculty advisor for TU's NOVA Fellowship (www.novafellowship.org), which is a multidisicplinary student group whose motto is "Dream and do," and who organizes the annual campus TEDx event (www.tedxuniversityoftulsa.com), the Oklahoma Young Entrepreneur Awards (www.oyea.co), and other competitions, design challenges, and creative collaborations.

TU's Engineers Without Borders chapter ([http://www.ewb.oneofakind.ws/ http://www.ewb.oneofakind.ws/]) and Make A Difference Engineering (MADE at TU, [https://engineering.utulsa.edu/academics/mechanical-engineering/make-a-difference-engineering/ https://engineering.utulsa.edu/academics/mechanical-engineering/make-a-difference-engineering/]), and Sustainable Engineering for Needy and Emerging Areas ([https://engineering.utulsa.edu/senea-waterheater-mongolia/ https://engineering.utulsa.edu/senea-waterheater-mongolia/]) gives engineering students opportunities to collaborate towards goals which improve lives in the community and abroad.

Students can learn about I&E opportunities such as the NOVA Fellowship and the I&E Minor and Certificate at a bi-annual Activities Fair, or through stories in the college newspaper, The Collegian. They can meet up to work on projects and think creatively at TU's "Creative Greenhouse," Studio Blue in Helmerich Hall, or fabricate and iterate prototypes in the Mechanical Engineering Student Projects Lab, the Electrical and Computer Engineering Robotics Lab, or off campus less than 1 mile away at Fab Lab Tulsa (www.fablabtulsa.org), a maker space open to paid membership for the entire community.

== '''Encouraging Faculty Innovation and Entrepreneurship''' ==

Activity in this area is limited mostly to the Management and Marketing department in the Collins College of Business, but may be spreading campus-wide with the recent adoption of the TU Commitment and the 2017 strategic vision, which includes working harder to weave innovation into the fabric of TU's culture.

== '''Actively Supporting the University Technology Transfer Function''' ==

Technology Transfer at TU is led by Dr. William (Bill) Lawson, Director of Technology Commercialization, who can be reached at bill-lawson@utulsa.edu and 918-631-3335, and Dr. Janet Haggerty, Vice Provost for Research and Dean of the Graduate School, who can be reached at janet-haggerty@utulsa.edu and 918-631-2304.

== '''Facilitating University-Industry Collaboration''' ==

Each department within the College of Engineering & Natural Sciences is guided by a distinguished group of industry professionals who serve as members of the industry advisory board. Internship and Career Fairs are held often, and guest speakers from industry make regular appearances at Lunch and Learn sessions throughout the semester and all around campus. Additionally, relationships are currently in development beween faculty and students at The University of Tulsa and local co-working spaces and startup incubators such as 36 Degress North (www.36degreesnorth.co), Tulsa Young Professionals (TYPros, [https://www.typros.org https://www.typros.org]) and The Forge (theforgetulsa.com).

Organizations such as the Oklahoma Innovation Institute (www.oklahomainnovationinstitute.org), The George Kaiser Family Foundation (www.gkff.org), and The Lobeck Taylor Family Foundation ([https://lobecktaylor.com https://lobecktaylor.com]) are working to increase the economic impact of entrepreneurship in the Tulsa community, and hold events, facilitate connections, and fund initiatives throughout the year.

Priorities:University of Tulsa Student Priorities

2018-02-08T23:47:35Z

Chey wheat:

'''Spring 2018'''

=== '''Project One: Reconstructing areas in each building into innovation hubs''' ===

Currently, the University of Tulsa has each school split up into different buildings organized together and spread across campus. This is a convient setup for walking between classes, but unfortunetly has limited cross-disciplinary interaction between different majors. Each building also has its own lounge area that is currently being under-utilized.

=== '''Project Two: Get credit for extracurriculars that contribute to innovation''' ===

The goal of this project is do have the University give students credit for extracurriculars involving innovation. This will give students the ability to do innovation work in a busy course schedule. Many students want to work on innovation, but they are double majors or minors and do not have time to truly invest into many extracurricular activities.

Short Term (before the end of fall 2018 semester): Gain support from professors and administrators in each college. Create a plan and outline of how to make the extracurriculars available to all students and how each extracurricular would fit into each major’s graduation plan.

Medium Term (before the end of spring 2019 semester) : Present to President of University of Deans of each colleges.

Medium/Long'''Term (fall semester 2019):''' Have a list of extracurriculars open to all students that count as one hour courses P/F.

Long Term (fall semester 2020): Have the extracurriculars online and part of the source selection plan. Have the classes be worth 3-4 hours and have grades.

=== '''Project Three: Connecting Student Groups to Companies in the Region''' ===

The University of Tulsa has a number of marvelous number of resources for students to take advantage of. There are a handful of highly educated and extremely motivated faculty who are available to help students in any venture they may engage in. However so, these resources may be limited and some student organizations may need additional guidance to succeed. 

=== Goals and Desired Outcomes ===

One strategic priority that we hold dear to our hearts is establishing a program to connect Investors and local businesses to students to enable the flow of resources and mentorship. We strongly believe that connecting students to large companies will be highly beneficial for several reasons.

First, and most interestingly, companies in the area will be granted access to the information of students studying Innovation and Entrepreneurship. They will be encouraged to hire students to tackle major challenges that the companies may have. Companies will be incentivized to provide guidance as they will have access to some of the most intelligent and capable pupils.

Secondly, we would like to connect students with ideas to these companies so they may have connections and such when preparing to launch or grow their companies. Initial funding in exchange for equity would be a major key to leading student companies to success. The hope is that companies as such will encourage staff to assist students with any issues they may have. For example, say a student needs legal guidance, a company lawyer can provide basic guidance and resources to help that student. 

Third, we hope that companies would allow students to tour their establishments and demonstrate how they operate. Students will become much more engaged with their studies as they can observe how applicable what they are learning is in the real world.

Fourth, our goal is to encourage companies to invest in student organizations by providing gear and supplies that is relative to their industry. Additionally, companies would be encouraged to fund excursions to conferences and other events related to the field that the company is in.

As the University of Tulsa is located in Tulsa Oklahoma, many of the largest companies in the area tend to be oil and gas companies. Companies we aim to partner with include QuikTrip, BOK, OneOK, ONE Gas, Phillips 66 and the Ross Group. 
<div> </div>
=== '''Project Four: Space and resources sponsorships''' ===

The goal is to allocate innovation spaces on campus that are funded and sponsered by local companies that are also supporters of innovation.

'''Short term: '''Locating available spaces on campus

'''Mid term: '''Contacting local companies and recriting potental contributors

'''Long term: '''Having materials/supplies sponsered by local companies within our innovation spaces. Having companies design the room around what they believe would benefit students. 

== '''Fall 2017: Strategic Priority:''' ==

=== Project One: Innovation Spaces ===

1. Short term (within the semester): Pop-up design workshops all over campus. Colleges, also ACAC, Old U, etc.

2. Medium term (within two years): Permanent Innovation Hubs in multiple departments

3. Stretch goal! Create a permanent, physical innovation space that is not associated with any college or department. A TU Maker Space. Build a place to collaborate with students from all majors to solve problems at TU, in Tulsa, the world. Enact social change, practice tech entrepreneurship, participate in national competitions. Make innovation, entrepreneurship, and prototyping resources available for all students. Consult local orgs (36 Degrees North, Fab Lab Tulsa, etc.) to help design this space.

=== Project Two: Foster Connections ===

Create more connections between TU students and Tulsa entrepreneurs, incubators, resources.

#Arrange visits to TU from more Tulsa startup leaders. Tech lunches, speaking engagements.
#Arrange student trips to 36N, Techlahoma, Fab Lab, other area resources.
#Promote networking opportunities to facilitate unlikely collaborations from chance encounters

*How does cultivating an I&E environment become tangible at TU?
*Learn to develop more complex curriculum- offer a permanent course for all majors available for all undergraduate students
*Allow this course to appear on the course catalog for all schools, offering it in the summer term as well

== '''Spring 2018 Student Strategies: Interdiciplinary Collaboration ''' ==

The University of Tulsa has a number of marvelous number of resources for students to take advantage of. There are a handful of highly educated and extremely motivated faculty who are available to help students in any venture they may engage in. However so, these resources may be limited and some student organizations may need additional guidance to succeed. 

One strategic priority that we hold dear to our hearts is establishing a program to connect Investors and local businesses to students to enable the flow of resources and mentorship. We strongly believe that connecting students to large companies will be highly beneficial for several reasons.

=== Goals and Desired Outcomes ===

First, and most interestingly, companies in the area will be granted access to the information of students studying Innovation and Entrepreneurship. They will be encouraged to hire students to tackle major challenges that the companies may have. Companies will be incentivized to provide guidance as they will have access to some of the most intelligent and capable pupils.

Secondly, we would like to connect students with ideas to these companies so they may have connections and such when preparing to launch or grow their companies. Initial funding in exchange for equity would be a major key to leading student companies to success. The hope is that companies as such will encourage staff to assist students with any issues they may have. For example, say a student needs legal guidance, a company lawyer can provide basic guidance and resources to help that student. 

Third, we hope that companies would allow students to tour their establishments and demonstrate how they operate. Students will become much more engaged with their studies as they can observe how applicable what they are learning is in the real world.

Fourth, our goal is to encourage companies to invest in student organizations by providing gear and supplies that is relative to their industry. Additionally, companies would be encouraged to fund excursions to conferences and other events related to the field that the company is in.

As the University of Tulsa is located in Tulsa Oklahoma, many of the largest companies in the area tend to be oil and gas companies. Companies we aim to partner with include QuikTrip, BOK, OneOK, ONE Gas, Phillips 66 and the Ross Group. 

=== '''Project One: Reconstructing areas in each building into innovation hubs''' ===

Currently, the University of Tulsa has each school split up into different buildings organized together and spread across campus. This is a convient setup for walking between classes, but unfortunetly has limited cross-disciplinary interaction between different majors. Each building also has its own lounge area that is currently being under-utilized.

=== '''Project Two: Get credit for extracurriculars that contribute to innovation''' ===

The goal of this project is do have the University give students credit for extracurriculars involving innovation. This will give students the ability to do innovation work in a busy course schedule. Many students want to work on innovation, but they are double majors or minors and do not have time to truly invest into many extracurricular activities.

Have the classes be worth 3-4 hours and have grades.

=== '''Project Three: Connecting investors to student start-ups''' ===

=== '''Project Four: Space and resources sponsorships''' ===

The goal is to allocate innovation spaces on campus that are funded and sponsered by local companies that are also supporters of innovation.

'''Short term: '''Locating available spaces on campus

'''Mid term: '''Contacting local companies and recriting potental contributors

'''Long term: '''Having materials/supplies sponsered by local companies within our innovation spaces. Having companies design the room around what they believe would benefit students. 

== '''Fall 2017: Strategic Priority: Connecting Investors and Mentors to Student Organizations''' ==

=== Project One: Innovation Spaces ===

1. Short term (within the semester): Pop-up design workshops all over campus. Colleges, also ACAC, Old U, etc.

2. Medium term (within two years): Permanent Innovation Hubs in multiple departments

3. Stretch goal! Create a permanent, physical innovation space that is not associated with any college or department. A TU Maker Space. Build a place to collaborate with students from all majors to solve problems at TU, in Tulsa, the world. Enact social change, practice tech entrepreneurship, participate in national competitions. Make innovation, entrepreneurship, and prototyping resources available for all students. Consult local orgs (36 Degrees North, Fab Lab Tulsa, etc.) to help design this space.

=== Project Two: Foster Connections ===

Create more connections between TU students and Tulsa entrepreneurs, incubators, resources.

#Arrange visits to TU from more Tulsa startup leaders. Tech lunches, speaking engagements.

== '''Spring 2018 Student Strategies: Interdiciplinary Collaboration ''' ==

=== Goals and Desired Outcomes ===

First, and most interestingly, companies in the area will be granted access to the information of students studying Innovation and Entrepreneurship. They will be encouraged to hire students to tackle major challenges that the companies may have. Companies will be incentivized to provide guidance as they will have access to some of the most intelligent and capable pupils.

Secondly, we would like to connect students with ideas to these companies so they may have connections and such when preparing to launch or grow their companies. Initial funding in exchange for equity would be a major key to leading student companies to success. The hope is that companies as such will encourage staff to assist students with any issues they may have. For example, say a student needs legal guidance, a company lawyer can provide basic guidance and resources to help that student. 

Third, we hope that companies would allow students to tour their establishments and demonstrate how they operate. Students will become much more engaged with their studies as they can observe how applicable what they are learning is in the real world.

Fourth, our goal is to encourage companies to invest in student organizations by providing gear and supplies that is relative to their industry. Additionally, companies would be encouraged to fund excursions to conferences and other events related to the field that the company is in.

As the University of Tulsa is located in Tulsa Oklahoma, many of the largest companies in the area tend to be oil and gas companies. Companies we aim to partner with include QuikTrip, BOK, OneOK, ONE Gas, Phillips 66 and the Ross Group. 

=== '''Project One: Reconstructing areas in each building into innovation hubs''' ===

=== '''Project Two: Get credit for extracurriculars that contribute to innovation''' ===

=== '''Project Three: Connecting investors to student start-ups''' ===

=== '''Project Four: Space and resources sponsorships''' ===

The goal is to allocate innovation spaces on campus that are funded and sponsered by local companies that are also supporters of innovation.

'''Short term:'''
'''Mid term:'''

'''Long term:'''

== '''Fall 2017: Strategic Priority: Connecting Investors and Mentors to Student Organizations''' ==

=== Project Two: Innovation Spaces ===

1. Short term (within the semester): Pop-up design workshops all over campus. Colleges, also ACAC, Old U, etc.

2. Medium term (within two years): Permanent Innovation Hubs in multiple departments

3. Stretch goal! Create a permanent, physical innovation space that is not associated with any college or department. A TU Maker Space. Build a place to collaborate with students from all majors to solve problems at TU, in Tulsa, the world. Enact social change, practice tech entrepreneurship, participate in national competitions. Make innovation, entrepreneurship, and prototyping resources available for all students. Consult local orgs (36 Degrees North, Fab Lab Tulsa, etc.) to help design this space.

=== Project Three: Foster Connections ===

Create more connections between TU students and Tulsa entrepreneurs, incubators, resources.

#Arrange visits to TU from more Tulsa startup leaders. Tech lunches, speaking engagements.

*What is innovation to you?
*How can students excel with a design thinking mindset?
*Where are the weak spots in the world of education? Where are the strengths?
*How does cultivating an I&E environment become tangible at TU?
*Learn to develop more complex curriculum- offer a permanent course for all majors available for all undergraduate students
*Allow this course to appear on the course catalog for all schools, offering it in the summer term as well

== '''Fall 2017: Strategic Priority: Connecting Investors and Mentors to Student Organizations''' ==

The University of Tulsa has a number of marvelous number of resources for students to take advantage of. There are a handful of highly educated and extremely motivated faculty who are available to help students in any venture they may engage in. However so, these resources may be limited and some student organizations may need additional guidance to succeed. 

One strategic priority that we hold dear to our hearts is establishing a program to connect Investors and local businesses to students to enable the flow of resources and mentorship. We strongly believe that connecting students to large companies will be highly beneficial for several reasons.

== '''Spring 2018 Student Strategies: Interdiciplinary Collaboration ''' ==

=== '''Project One: Reconstructing areas in each building into innovation hubs''' ===

=== '''Project Two: Get credit for extracurriculars that contribute to innovation''' ===

=== '''Project Three: Connecting investors to student start-ups''' ===

=== '''Project Four: Space and resources sponsorships''' ===

== '''Fall 2017: Strategic Priority: Connecting Investors and Mentors to Student Organizations''' ==

The University of Tulsa has a number of marvelous number of resources for students to take advantage of. There are a handful of highly educated and extremely motivated faculty who are available to help students in any venture they may engage in. However so, these resources may be limited and some student organizations may need additional guidance to succeed. 

One strategic priority that we hold dear to our hearts is establishing a program to connect Investors and local businesses to students to enable the flow of resources and mentorship. We strongly believe that connecting students to large companies will be highly beneficial for several reasons.

=== Goals and Desired Outcomes ===

First, and most interestingly, companies in the area will be granted access to the information of students studying Innovation and Entrepreneurship. They will be encouraged to hire students to tackle major challenges that the companies may have. Companies will be incentivized to provide guidance as they will have access to some of the most intelligent and capable pupils.

Secondly, we would like to connect students with ideas to these companies so they may have connections and such when preparing to launch or grow their companies. Initial funding in exchange for equity would be a major key to leading student companies to success. The hope is that companies as such will encourage staff to assist students with any issues they may have. For example, say a student needs legal guidance, a company lawyer can provide basic guidance and resources to help that student. 

Third, we hope that companies would allow students to tour their establishments and demonstrate how they operate. Students will become much more engaged with their studies as they can observe how applicable what they are learning is in the real world.

Fourth, our goal is to encourage companies to invest in student organizations by providing gear and supplies that is relative to their industry. Additionally, companies would be encouraged to fund excursions to conferences and other events related to the field that the company is in.

As the University of Tulsa is located in Tulsa Oklahoma, many of the largest companies in the area tend to be oil and gas companies. Companies we aim to partner with include QuikTrip, BOK, OneOK, ONE Gas, Phillips 66 and the Ross Group. 

=== Project Two: Innovation Spaces ===

1. Short term (within the semester): Pop-up design workshops all over campus. Colleges, also ACAC, Old U, etc.

2. Medium term (within two years): Permanent Innovation Hubs in multiple departments

3. Stretch goal! Create a permanent, physical innovation space that is not associated with any college or department. A TU Maker Space. Build a place to collaborate with students from all majors to solve problems at TU, in Tulsa, the world. Enact social change, practice tech entrepreneurship, participate in national competitions. Make innovation, entrepreneurship, and prototyping resources available for all students. Consult local orgs (36 Degrees North, Fab Lab Tulsa, etc.) to help design this space.

=== Project Three: Foster Connections ===

Create more connections between TU students and Tulsa entrepreneurs, incubators, resources.

== '''Spring 2018 Student Strategies: Interdiciplinary Collaboration ''' ==

=== '''Project One: Reconstructing areas in each building into innovation hubs''' ===

=== '''Project Two: Get credit for extracurriculars that contribute to innovation''' ===

=== '''Project Three: Connecting investors to student start-ups''' ===

=== '''Project Four: Space and resources sponserships''' ===

== '''Fall 2017: Strategic Priority: Connecting Investors and Mentors to Student Organizations''' ==

The University of Tulsa has a number of marvelous number of resources for students to take advantage of. There are a handful of highly educated and extremely motivated faculty who are available to help students in any venture they may engage in. However so, these resources may be limited and some student organizations may need additional guidance to succeed. 

One strategic priority that we hold dear to our hearts is establishing a program to connect Investors and local businesses to students to enable the flow of resources and mentorship. We strongly believe that connecting students to large companies will be highly beneficial for several reasons.

=== Goals and Desired Outcomes ===

First, and most interestingly, companies in the area will be granted access to the information of students studying Innovation and Entrepreneurship. They will be encouraged to hire students to tackle major challenges that the companies may have. Companies will be incentivized to provide guidance as they will have access to some of the most intelligent and capable pupils.

Secondly, we would like to connect students with ideas to these companies so they may have connections and such when preparing to launch or grow their companies. Initial funding in exchange for equity would be a major key to leading student companies to success. The hope is that companies as such will encourage staff to assist students with any issues they may have. For example, say a student needs legal guidance, a company lawyer can provide basic guidance and resources to help that student. 

Third, we hope that companies would allow students to tour their establishments and demonstrate how they operate. Students will become much more engaged with their studies as they can observe how applicable what they are learning is in the real world.

Fourth, our goal is to encourage companies to invest in student organizations by providing gear and supplies that is relative to their industry. Additionally, companies would be encouraged to fund excursions to conferences and other events related to the field that the company is in.

As the University of Tulsa is located in Tulsa Oklahoma, many of the largest companies in the area tend to be oil and gas companies. Companies we aim to partner with include QuikTrip, BOK, OneOK, ONE Gas, Phillips 66 and the Ross Group. 

=== Project Two: Innovation Spaces ===

1. Short term (within the semester): Pop-up design workshops all over campus. Colleges, also ACAC, Old U, etc.

2. Medium term (within two years): Permanent Innovation Hubs in multiple departments

3. Stretch goal! Create a permanent, physical innovation space that is not associated with any college or department. A TU Maker Space. Build a place to collaborate with students from all majors to solve problems at TU, in Tulsa, the world. Enact social change, practice tech entrepreneurship, participate in national competitions. Make innovation, entrepreneurship, and prototyping resources available for all students. Consult local orgs (36 Degrees North, Fab Lab Tulsa, etc.) to help design this space.

=== Project Three: Foster Connections ===

Create more connections between TU students and Tulsa entrepreneurs, incubators, resources.

#Arrange visits to TU from more Tulsa startup leaders. Tech lunches, speaking engagements.
#Arrange student trips to 36N, Techlahoma, Fab Lab, other area resources.
#Promote networking opportunities to facilitate unlikely collaborations from chance encounters

=== Project Four: I&E for Grad Students  ===

*More research needed

*Begin with one hour course-Intro to I&E 1001, UIFers design the course
*Incorporate original ‘training’ material-TED Talks, mini challenges, interviews to gain perspective about campus ecosystem
*Take advantage of faculty members’ input on a potential course-how would they answer questions such as:
*What is innovation to you?
*How can students excel with a design thinking mindset?
*Where are the weak spots in the world of education? Where are the strengths?
*How does cultivating an I&E environment become tangible at TU?
*Learn to develop more complex curriculum- offer a permanent course for all majors available for all undergraduate students
*Allow this course to appear on the course catalog for all schools, offering it in the summer term as well

Potential Project: NOVA Students

*Assist NOVA(an innovation program for all studies) students with their individual projects
*Help to brainstorm/prototype
*Introduce design thinking to jumpstart ideas
*Be sure to not intrude on pre-existing work, but enhance it
*Delegate really small jobs to each member
*Collaborate between projects
*Deadline is mostly year-round
*Assist current NOVA students
*If helping student, follow their personal agendas to keep on track
*Get acquainted with new members
*On campus//off campus events to promote the group and find fellow innovators
*Glassblowing
*Tulsa Art Crawl
*Studio Blue socials
*h. Provide UIF insight
*Prototype to learn flexibility, not a standard
*Perspective is important..don't lose sight of other’s sights
*Look at the big picture
*Give workshop to NOVA students-food, prizes, challengesi.  Encourage NOVA friends to apply for UIF
*October 30 for Spring 2018 session
*They have a good understanding of innovation-training can only improve this mindset
*Projects galore-individual, leadership circle, outside input

Potential Project: Oklahoma Young Entrepreneur Awards

*Second year of operation
*Headed by Dallas Elleman and communications handled by Caroline Rodgers

Fourth, our goal is to encourage companies to invest in student organizations by providing gear and supplies that is relative to their industry. Additionally, companies would be encouraged to fund excursions to conferences and other events related to the field that the company is in.

As the University of Tulsa is located in Tulsa Oklahoma, many of the largest companies in the area tend to be oil and gas companies. Companies we aim to partner with include QuikTrip, BOK, OneOK, ONE Gas, Phillips 66 and the Ross Group. 

=== Project Two: Innovation Spaces ===

1. Short term (within the semester): Pop-up design workshops all over campus. Colleges, also ACAC, Old U, etc.

2. Medium term (within two years): Permanent Innovation Hubs in multiple departments

3. Stretch goal! Create a permanent, physical innovation space that is not associated with any college or department. A TU Maker Space. Build a place to collaborate with students from all majors to solve problems at TU, in Tulsa, the world. Enact social change, practice tech entrepreneurship, participate in national competitions. Make innovation, entrepreneurship, and prototyping resources available for all students. Consult local orgs (36 Degrees North, Fab Lab Tulsa, etc.) to help design this space.

=== Project Three: Foster Connections ===

Create more connections between TU students and Tulsa entrepreneurs, incubators, resources.

== '''Student Strategies: Interdiciplinary Collaboration ''' ==

=== '''Project One: Reconstructing areas in each building into innovation hubs''' ===

=== '''Project Two: Get credit for extracurriculars that contribute to innovation''' ===

=== '''Project Three: Connecting investors to student start-ups''' ===

=== '''Project Four: Space and resources sponserships''' ===

== '''2017: Strategic Priority: Connecting Investors and Mentors to Student Organizations''' ==

The University of Tulsa has a number of marvelous number of resources for students to take advantage of. There are a handful of highly educated and extremely motivated faculty who are available to help students in any venture they may engage in. However so, these resources may be limited and some student organizations may need additional guidance to succeed. 

One strategic priority that we hold dear to our hearts is establishing a program to connect Investors and local businesses to students to enable the flow of resources and mentorship. We strongly believe that connecting students to large companies will be highly beneficial for several reasons.

=== Goals and Desired Outcomes ===

First, and most interestingly, companies in the area will be granted access to the information of students studying Innovation and Entrepreneurship. They will be encouraged to hire students to tackle major challenges that the companies may have. Companies will be incentivized to provide guidance as they will have access to some of the most intelligent and capable pupils.

Secondly, we would like to connect students with ideas to these companies so they may have connections and such when preparing to launch or grow their companies. Initial funding in exchange for equity would be a major key to leading student companies to success. The hope is that companies as such will encourage staff to assist students with any issues they may have. For example, say a student needs legal guidance, a company lawyer can provide basic guidance and resources to help that student. 

Third, we hope that companies would allow students to tour their establishments and demonstrate how they operate. Students will become much more engaged with their studies as they can observe how applicable what they are learning is in the real world.

== '''Strategic Priority One: Connecting Investors and Mentors to Student Organizations''' ==

The University of Tulsa has a number of marvelous number of resources for students to take advantage of. There are a handful of highly educated and extremely motivated faculty who are available to help students in any venture they may engage in. However so, these resources may be limited and some student organizations may need additional guidance to succeed. 

One strategic priority that we hold dear to our hearts is establishing a program to connect Investors and local businesses to students to enable the flow of resources and mentorship. We strongly believe that connecting students to large companies will be highly beneficial for several reasons.

=== Goals and Desired Outcomes ===

First, and most interestingly, companies in the area will be granted access to the information of students studying Innovation and Entrepreneurship. They will be encouraged to hire students to tackle major challenges that the companies may have. Companies will be incentivized to provide guidance as they will have access to some of the most intelligent and capable pupils.

Secondly, we would like to connect students with ideas to these companies so they may have connections and such when preparing to launch or grow their companies. Initial funding in exchange for equity would be a major key to leading student companies to success. The hope is that companies as such will encourage staff to assist students with any issues they may have. For example, say a student needs legal guidance, a company lawyer can provide basic guidance and resources to help that student. 

Third, we hope that companies would allow students to tour their establishments and demonstrate how they operate. Students will become much more engaged with their studies as they can observe how applicable what they are learning is in the real world.

Fourth, our goal is to encourage companies to invest in student organizations by providing gear and supplies that is relative to their industry. Additionally, companies would be encouraged to fund excursions to conferences and other events related to the field that the company is in.

As the University of Tulsa is located in Tulsa Oklahoma, many of the largest companies in the area tend to be oil and gas companies. Companies we aim to partner with include QuikTrip, BOK, OneOK, ONE Gas, Phillips 66 and the Ross Group. 

=== Project Two: Innovation Spaces ===

1. Short term (within the semester): Pop-up design workshops all over campus. Colleges, also ACAC, Old U, etc.

2. Medium term (within two years): Permanent Innovation Hubs in multiple departments

3. Stretch goal! Create a permanent, physical innovation space that is not associated with any college or department. A TU Maker Space. Build a place to collaborate with students from all majors to solve problems at TU, in Tulsa, the world. Enact social change, practice tech entrepreneurship, participate in national competitions. Make innovation, entrepreneurship, and prototyping resources available for all students. Consult local orgs (36 Degrees North, Fab Lab Tulsa, etc.) to help design this space.

=== Project Three: Foster Connections ===

Create more connections between TU students and Tulsa entrepreneurs, incubators, resources.

#Arrange visits to TU from more Tulsa startup leaders. Tech lunches, speaking engagements.
#Arrange student trips to 36N, Techlahoma, Fab Lab, other area resources.
#Promote networking opportunities to facilitate unlikely collaborations from chance encounters

=== Project Four: I&E for Grad Students  ===

*Begin with one hour course-Intro to I&E 1001, UIFers design the course
*Incorporate original ‘training’ material-TED Talks, mini challenges, interviews to gain perspective about campus ecosystem
*Take advantage of faculty members’ input on a potential course-how would they answer questions such as:
*What is innovation to you?
*How can students excel with a design thinking mindset?
*Where are the weak spots in the world of education? Where are the strengths?
*How does cultivating an I&E environment become tangible at TU?
*Learn to develop more complex curriculum- offer a permanent course for all majors available for all undergraduate students
*Allow this course to appear on the course catalog for all schools, offering it in the summer term as well

Potential Project: NOVA Students

*Assist NOVA(an innovation program for all studies) students with their individual projects
*Help to brainstorm/prototype
*Introduce design thinking to jumpstart ideas
*Be sure to not intrude on pre-existing work, but enhance it
*Delegate really small jobs to each member
*Collaborate between projects

*Get acquainted with new members
*On campus//off campus events to promote the group and find fellow innovators
*Glassblowing
*Tulsa Art Crawl
*Studio Blue socials
*h. Provide UIF insight
*Prototype to learn flexibility, not a standard
*Perspective is important..don't lose sight of other’s sights
*Look at the big picture
*Give workshop to NOVA students-food, prizes, challengesi.  Encourage NOVA friends to apply for UIF
*October 30 for Spring 2018 session
*They have a good understanding of innovation-training can only improve this mindset
*Projects galore-individual, leadership circle, outside input

Potential Project: Oklahoma Young Entrepreneur Awards

*Second year of operation
*Headed by Dallas Elleman and communications handled by Caroline Rodgers
*Looking to expand, by way of more high schools or introduce to TU

== '''Strategic Priority One: Connecting Investors and Mentors to Student Organizations''' ==

The University of Tulsa has a number of marvelous number of resources for students to take advantage of. There are a handful of highly educated and extremely motivated faculty who are available to help students in any venture they may engage in. However so, these resources may be limited and some student organizations may need additional guidance to succeed. 

One strategic priority that we hold dear to our hearts is establishing a program to connect Investors and local businesses to students to enable the flow of resources and mentorship. We strongly believe that connecting students to large companies will be highly beneficial for several reasons.

=== Goals and Desired Outcomes ===

First, and most interestingly, companies in the area will be granted access to the information of students studying Innovation and Entrepreneurship. They will be encouraged to hire students to tackle major challenges that the companies may have. Companies will be incentivized to provide guidance as they will have access to some of the most intelligent and capable pupils.

Secondly, we would like to connect students with ideas to these companies so they may have connections and such when preparing to launch or grow their companies. Initial funding in exchange for equity would be a major key to leading student companies to success. The hope is that companies as such will encourage staff to assist students with any issues they may have. For example, say a student needs legal guidance, a company lawyer can provide basic guidance and resources to help that student. 

Third, we hope that companies would allow students to tour their establishments and demonstrate how they operate. Students will become much more engaged with their studies as they can observe how applicable what they are learning is in the real world.

Fourth, our goal is to encourage companies to invest in student organizations by providing gear and supplies that is relative to their industry. Additionally, companies would be encouraged to fund excursions to conferences and other events related to the field that the company is in.

As the University of Tulsa is located in Tulsa Oklahoma, many of the largest companies in the area tend to be oil and gas companies. Companies we aim to partner with include QuikTrip, BOK, OneOK, ONE Gas, Phillips 66 and the Ross Group. 

=== Project Two: Innovation Spaces ===

1. Short term (within the semester): Pop-up design workshops all over campus. Colleges, also ACAC, Old U, etc.

2. Medium term (within two years): Permanent Innovation Hubs in multiple departments

3. Stretch goal! Create a permanent, physical innovation space that is not associated with any college or department. A TU Maker Space. Build a place to collaborate with students from all majors to solve problems at TU, in Tulsa, the world. Enact social change, practice tech entrepreneurship, participate in national competitions. Make innovation, entrepreneurship, and prototyping resources available for all students. Consult local orgs (36 Degrees North, Fab Lab Tulsa, etc.) to help design this space.

First, and most interestingly, companies in the area will be granted access to the information of students studying Innovation and Entrepreneurship. They will be encouraged to hire students to tackle major challenges that the companies may have. Companies will be incentivized to provide guidance as they will have access to some of the most intelligent and capable pupils.

Secondly, we would like to connect students with ideas to these companies so they may have connections and such when preparing to launch or grow their companies. Initial funding in exchange for equity would be a major key to leading student companies to success. The hope is that companies as such will encourage staff to assist students with any issues they may have. For example, say a student needs legal guidance, a company lawyer can provide basic guidance and resources to help that student. 

Third, we hope that companies would allow students to tour their establishments and demonstrate how they operate. Students will become much more engaged with their studies as they can observe how applicable what they are learning is in the real world.

Fourth, our goal is to encourage companies to invest in student organizations by providing gear and supplies that is relative to their industry. Additionally, companies would be encouraged to fund excursions to conferences and other events related to the field that the company is in.

As the University of Tulsa is located in Tulsa Oklahoma, many of the largest companies in the area tend to be oil and gas companies. Companies we aim to partner with include QuikTrip, BOK, OneOK, ONE Gas, Phillips 66 and the Ross Group. 

=== Project Two: Innovation Spaces ===

1. Short term (within the semester): Pop-up design workshops all over campus. Colleges, also ACAC, Old U, etc.

2. Medium term (within two years): Permanent Innovation Hubs in multiple departments

3. Stretch goal! Create a permanent, physical innovation space that is not associated with any college or department. A TU Maker Space. Build a place to collaborate with students from all majors to solve problems at TU, in Tulsa, the world. Enact social change, practice tech entrepreneurship, participate in national competitions. Make innovation, entrepreneurship, and prototyping resources available for all students. Consult local orgs (36 Degrees North, Fab Lab Tulsa, etc.) to help design this space.

=== Project Three: Foster Connections ===

Create more connections between TU students and Tulsa entrepreneurs, incubators, resources.

#Arrange visits to TU from more Tulsa startup leaders. Tech lunches, speaking engagements.

== '''Strategic Priority One: Connecting Investors and Mentors to Student Organizations''' ==

The University of Tulsa has a number of marvelous number of resources for students to take advantage of. There are a handful of highly educated and extremely motivated faculty who are available to help students in any venture they may engage in. However so, these resources may be limited and some student organizations may need additional guidance to succeed. 

One strategic priority that we hold dear to our hearts is establishing a program to connect Investors and local businesses to students to enable the flow of resources and mentorship. We strongly believe that connecting students to large companies will be highly beneficial for several reasons.

=== Goals and Desired Outcomes ===

First, and most interestingly, companies in the area will be granted access to the information of students studying Innovation and Entrepreneurship. They will be encouraged to hire students to tackle major challenges that the companies may have. Companies will be incentivized to provide guidance as they will have access to some of the most intelligent and capable pupils.

Secondly, we would like to connect students with ideas to these companies so they may have connections and such when preparing to launch or grow their companies. Initial funding in exchange for equity would be a major key to leading student companies to success. The hope is that companies as such will encourage staff to assist students with any issues they may have. For example, say a student needs legal guidance, a company lawyer can provide basic guidance and resources to help that student. 

Third, we hope that companies would allow students to tour their establishments and demonstrate how they operate. Students will become much more engaged with their studies as they can observe how applicable what they are learning is in the real world.

Fourth, our goal is to encourage companies to invest in student organizations by providing gear and supplies that is relative to their industry. Additionally, companies would be encouraged to fund excursions to conferences and other events related to the field that the company is in.

As the University of Tulsa is located in Tulsa Oklahoma, many of the largest companies in the area tend to be oil and gas companies. Companies we aim to partner with include QuikTrip, BOK, OneOK, ONE Gas, Phillips 66 and the Ross Group. 

=== Project Two: Innovation Spaces ===

1. Short term (within the semester): Pop-up design workshops all over campus. Colleges, also ACAC, Old U, etc.

2. Medium term (within two years): Permanent Innovation Hubs in multiple departments

3. Stretch goal! Create a permanent, physical innovation space that is not associated with any college or department. A TU Maker Space. Build a place to collaborate with students from all majors to solve problems at TU, in Tulsa, the world. Enact social change, practice tech entrepreneurship, participate in national competitions. Make innovation, entrepreneurship, and prototyping resources available for all students. Consult local orgs (36 Degrees North, Fab Lab Tulsa, etc.) to help design this space.

=== Project Three: Foster Connections ===

Create more connections between TU students and Tulsa entrepreneurs, incubators, resources.

1. Arrange visits to TU from more Tulsa startup leaders. Tech lunches, speaking engagements.

2. Arrange student trips to 36N, Techlahoma, Fab Lab, other area resources.

3. Promote networking opportunities to facilitate unlikely collaborations from chance encounters

=== Project Four: I&E for Grad Students  ===

*More research needed
*Self-study option
*Advanced Governor's Cup?

= Project Five: Undergrad I&E courses separate from I&E Minor  =

Begin Project Spring of 2018 Fall 2018.

Train UIF students, other interested in Design Thinking, creativity methodologies to spread to other students.

Begin with one hour course-Intro to I&E 1001, UIFers design the course

Incorporate original ‘training’ material-TED Talks, mini challenges, interviews to gain perspective about campus ecosystem

Take advantage of faculty members’ input on a potential course-how would they answer questions such as:

What is innovation to you?

How can students excel with a design thinking mindset?

Where are the weak spots in the world of education? Where are the strengths?

How does cultivating an I&E environment become tangible at TU?

Learn to develop more complex curriculum- offer a permanent course for all majors available for all undergraduate students

Allow this course to appear on the course catalog for all schools, offering it in the summer term as well

Potential Project: NOVA Students

Assist NOVA(an innovation program for all studies) students with their individual projects

Help to brainstorm/prototype

Introduce design thinking to jumpstart ideas

Be sure to not intrude on pre-existing work, but enhance it

Delegate really small jobs to each member
