==Bio==
Hello, my name is Elizabeth Powell, I am a sophomore, and I am from South Florida as of right now, I live in Coconut Creek. I am a huge fan of computer technology and am pursuing a BS in MIS (Management Information Systems). I decided to go to Oakwood University because it was an SDA, and HBCU and I wanted to meet people like me. On the plus side, it is far from home. After I graduated from Oakwood University in May of 2025, my career plan is to go back to school for my master's degree as of right now I do not know where yet, then work in my field and one day start my own technology company. I have recently taken on an interest in real estate and hope to get my license in that area. My greatest qualities are helping people, loyalty, honesty, and being very assertive.

===Promoting Student Innovation and Entrepreneurship===
On a large scale, facilities to promote the increase of innovation and entrepreneurship on campus are lacking. In recent years, however, Oakwood University has developed into an innovation friendly space. Thanks to Julian Waddell, Entrepreneurship as a minor with select entrepreneurship classes have been incorporated into the School of Business and Information. Moreover, across campus, administration has implored to think outside the box and create new ideas for the running of the school. Unfortunately, not much innovation is actually seen in practice, and is still on the very steady increase.

As it relates to entrepreneurship, several students across campus start their own businesses to help facilitate the their tuition payments, and to get a head start for their future careers. The Oakwood University Launchpad (IG: @[https://www.instagram.com/oulaunchpad/?hl=en oulauchpad]) is available to facilitate students' pathway to entrepreneurship, offering support, advice, and guidance. This facility was opened ([https://www.rocketcitynow.com/article/news/local/oakwood-university-opens-ou-launchpad-entrepreneurship-center-unity-authorized-training-partner/525-4725d4e3-a386-4913-9a2b-93c657e74b6c opening]) in 2021 and allows for students to explore the world of entrepreneurship with faculty who are trained to support and encourage. Though this practice of entrepreneurship is not heavily widespread among, it is indeed present, and facilities are available for students to access. ([https://innovationsoftheworld.com/oakwood-university-if-you-build-it-they-will-come-this-misquoted-line-derived-from-the-movie-field-of-dreams-is-often-associated-with-startup-development-it-sounds-good-but-unfortunate/ Oulauchpadwebsite])

===Encouraging Faculty Innovation and Entrepreneurship===
Generally speaking, faculty is encouraged to pursue the highest level of academic as a large percentage of the faculty are either at the Master level or PhD level. Typically, faculty members strive to apply the theories and concepts taught in their programs to make improvements to faculty relations, curriculum development, and graduate level training. In these instances, faculty is encouraged to pursue innovation and expand the present way of operation.

Despite this, there is a noticeable lack of innovation within the classroom setting. Unless in lab classes, students usually must endure lecture-style tutelage, and are called upon to regurgitate the information periodically in quizzes and examinations.
 
===Actively supporting the university technology transfer function===
In addition to the OU Launchpad or Entrepreneurship Center, an E-Sports Lab was also created to facilitate the practice of entrepreneurship among interested students on campus. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mhH8hxa8MF0 Here], a vlog shows the launch of the E-Sports Lab, and insights into the purpose and use of the space. Gaming computer systems were installed to encourage students to employ entrepreneurship and innovation for themselves in the virtual world. Though recent, the active support of these facilities is still yet to be seen. While students do access these facilities, more promotion must be done to ensure that students take full advantage of the resources that are available to them.

===Facilitating university-industry collaboration===
Next Gen HQ, a mentorship program, recently met with students at Oakwood University to offer advice and support to those students interested in creating their own entrepreneurial ventures. Mentors are established entrepreneurs who have made themselves available for students to ask questions and provide feedback about their business, where they may find funding and other resources to facilitate the smooth running of their business.

===Engaging with regional and local economic development efforts===
Several organizations like the Oakwood University chapter of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (OU NAACP), and the United Negro College Fund (UNCF) generally provide scholarships to students of various disciplines, so that they have access to the education that would equip them to increase their entrepreneurial potential.

==Overview==
Built on the blood soaked sod of a former slave plantation, and established in 1896, Oakwood University is the singular Seventh-day Adventist Historically Black College/University, in Huntsville, Alabama. For just over 125 years, this illustrious institution has molded the lives of young and old, educationally, physically, and spiritually.

==Strategic Priorities==

===UIF Fall 2022===

===='''Strategic Priority #1'''====

====='''Increasing entrepreneurial seed funding sources'''=====
A $20 Challenge should be hosted where participants will be given $20 to transform into a business venture. For a period of eight (8) weeks, they will be challenged to multiply this $20 using an original business idea. Throughout the process, they will have access to mentorship from entrepreneurial experts who will help them to see success in their business. After eight (8) weeks have passed, the participants in the challenge will return the $20 and present their business plan and progress (in Shark Tank style) to a panel of entrepreneurs, who will select a winner. Entrepreneurial ventures and presentations will be judged on innovative genius, originality, projected possibility to dominate a niche market, as well as a clear statistical analysis. The winner and 2 runners-up will receive investments into their business and direct mentorship from the entrepreneurial panel. The other participants will receive further entrepreneurial training to help to improve and grow the current state of their brand.

=====Tactics:=====

#Entrepreneurship Training for the eight (8) week duration of the $20 Challenge.
#Seed funding management training.
#Visits from experienced entrepreneurs to share experience.

===='''Strategic Priority #2'''====

====='''Increasing entrepreneurial curriculum'''=====
A entrepreneurial class called Business Expert would be introduced to help entrepreneurs build a successful business by giving them the right resources and by helping them understand business. The entrepreneurs in this program will gain an understanding of Creativity, Exceptionalism, the Legal Framework, and Promotion. Through student-led workshops, students will learn how to reach their target markets with their advertising efforts. In addition to helping students, working with entrepreneurial teachers will ensure that students are getting the right information from someone with experience and that their teacher knows what they're doing.

=====Tactics:=====

#Promotion of the class as a addition to the Business Core.
#Experienced entrepreneurs will serve as instructors.
#Gather resources within the class.

Built on the blood soaked sod of a former slave plantation, and established in 1896, Oakwood University is the singular Seventh-day Adventist Historically Black College/University, in Huntsville, Alabama. For just over 125 years, this illustrious institution has molded the lives of young and old, educationally, physically, and spiritually. Guided by the motto, "God First!", Oakwood University faculty, staff and administration impart knowledge and information, to empower students who "Enter to Learn," to "Depart to Serve".

===Promoting Student Innovation and Entrepreneurship===
On a large scale, facilities to promote the increase of innovation and entrepreneurship on campus are lacking. In recent years, however, Oakwood University has developed into an innovation friendly space. Thanks to Julian Waddell, Entrepreneurship as a minor with select entrepreneurship classes have been incorporated into the School of Business and Information. Moreover, across campus, administration has implored to think outside the box and create new ideas for the running of the school. Unfortunately, not much innovation is actually seen in practice, and is still on the very steady increase.

As it relates to entrepreneurship, several students across campus start their own businesses to help facilitate the their tuition payments, and to get a head start for their future careers. Though this practice is not discouraged by faculty or administration, it is not forcefully encouraged as it relates to business support and guidance.

===Encouraging faculty Innovation and Entrepreneurship===

===Actively supporting the university technology transfer function===

===Facilitating university-industry collaboration===

===Engaging with regional and local economic development efforts===

Resource talk:How to start a podcast series

Danaecarmel: /* Extremely informative and helpful */ new section

This is a great and informative article. Much better than anything you could find through a google search. It is very basic yet descriptive and is a fantastic read for beginners wanting to dip their toes in podcast creation.

I really enjoyed this article. Starting a podcast is such a fun way to spread new information and ideas. I have always been interested in starting one and enjoyed learning so much in such a simple yet comprehensive way.

== Resource talk: How to start a podcast ==

I loved this!!! I've been thinking of starting a podcast for the past year now, and this just helped me to want to do it even more. It doesn't require much and it could be extremely fun.

== Extremely informative and helpful ==

I have wanted to start a podcast for a while now, I've actually recorded some episodes. But I'm grateful that I read this resource. I now know which equipment I still need to buy, as well as the platforms I could choose from to distribute and promote my podcast. I definitely will be coming back to this resource from time to time over the next few months to make sure that I get everything that I need before I start.

==Bio==
Driven, enterprising, ambitious, and jovial, are just four words that could describe Meladee. Born and raised on the beautiful shores of Barbados, Meladee first charted her path of excellence. She attended one of the leading Secondary schools on the island - Queen's College, where she held numerous leadership positions, including Head Girl, Prefect, and President of the Inter-School Christian Fellowship. From there, in 2021 she moved to Huntsville, Alabama, to pursue higher learning at the illustrious Oakwood University. Currently, she is a Sophomore on track to receive a Bachelor of Business Administration: Marketing, when she graduates in May 2025. Meladee is passionate about making a future career in brand management, working with young entrepreneurs, and helping them to establish themselves first as a reputable brand, then their product or service. Aside from these things, Meladee is a lover of music, notably gospel music, but has an appreciation for the R&B and contemporary classical genres. Meladee comes from a musical family, hence her name, "Meladee", adapted from the musical term, "melody".
