=== Priority 1: Increase Networking Between Students and Faculty ===

'''Networking Lecture Series ft. Faculty in your College'''

'''Project Lead:''' Alex Bybee

'''BYU Potential Project Supporters:'''

'''''Dean Madrian, President Worthin '''''

'''Project Description:'''

Many student are unaware of the opportunities that come from networking with faculty, and if they do know they often feel uncomfortable reaching out. In order to create more opportunities for students and to help teachers empathize more with students we will create a lecture series class for campus networking. Each college will host a lecture series that features faculty who are willing to (brag) talk about their professional life and current research. At the conclusion of their lecture the teacher will explain how they might be able to help students find or create career paths in their area of expertise. 

'''Key Tactics:'''

*Hold focus groups with students from all the different majors to learn if this is beneficial everywhere across campus
*Interview teacher to see if they agree to the efficacy of this idea
*prototype an evening lecture about on campus networking and its importance. get feedback
*Create curriculum and syllabus for the class.

Ventilation will come from the floor, connected to the pipes and tunnels under the university. Electricity for night time study groups will be solar-powered. The room will be reserved via an online reservation platform. Inside you will find a large (white or blue) study table that is elevated and has differentiating colored stools. Power outlets will be available on the table through circuit wires that come from an electrical connection in the ground. Small windows may be opened by sliding, and there will also be a sliding door. Preferably, this study room will be a BYU grass area that has some landscaping surrounding it and also has a pathway that leads straightway to the door.

=== Priority 1: Increasing Interdisciplinary Space ===

'''Interdisciplinary Offices'''

'''Project Lead:''' Gabe Walker

'''BYU Potential Project Supporters:'''

'''''To Be Determined'''''

'''Project Description:'''

Every school and building on our campus would have some sort of space dedicated to a different discipline, industry, or focus. For example, putting a STEM innovation space in the College of Fine Arts, or a Humanities Innovation space in the Business Building. This would provide students with opportunities to engage with ideas that are generally different from what they normally learn, and would teach these students how to be innovative in applying interdisciplinary ideas into their learning outcomes.

'''Key Tactics:'''

*Meet with each school administration to pitch idea.
*Identify unused space in each building.
*Find individuals willing to work and run the space (as volunteers or paid staff).
*Identify which disciplines would benefit the most from the different variety of spaces.
*Regularly analyze the effectiveness of the space and the amount of student interaction that takes place.

=== Priority 2: Increasing Interdisciplinary Empathy ===

'''The BYU VR Experience'''

Project Lead: Ashley Paget

BYU Potential Project Supporters:

Mat Duerden

Project Description:

Creating a space for a Virtual Reality Experience for student development. Content would be developed to provide students with different experiences in classes, labs, and other hands on expereinces to help students learn more about different classes and majors. Other simulations would have job shadowing possibilities for students to experience the day to day of different careers. For example, students could be exposed to a 360 degree view of a physicians work day. This would allow students to explore different options and find what fits them best.

'''BYU Interdisciplinary Case Competitions'''

'''Project Lead:''' Rachel Merrill

'''BYU Potential Project Supporters:'''

Todd Manwaring ''"Ballard Center Director"''

'''Project Description:'''

A BYU case competition where teams are made up of students from different disciplines of study. Teams would compete to come up with solutions for a company in the neighboring area or to help solve community issues. Students' solutions that are chosen would be awarded cash prizes and help companies implement solutions.

'''Key Tactics:'''

*Partner with the Ballard Center to design the structure of the competition.
*Pitch competition to local businesses so students can work on solving the business problems neighboring our school.
*Find funding for the team that wins.

'''Project Lead:''' Rachel Merrill

'''BYU Potential Project Supporters:'''

Phillip D. Rash ''"First-Year Mentoring and Assistant Dean of Undergraduate Education at BYU"''

Matt Duerden ''"Assistant Professor of Experience Design and Management"''

'''Project Idea:''' A mentored class for first-year students focused on helping students find personally applicable resources--resources that tie to their personal motivations for being at BYU. A class that uses design thinking to help students prototype their experience at BYU and their impact in the world. A class that helps achieve the BYU aim "Enter to learn--go forth to serve".

'''Key Tactics:'''

*Work with Matt and other a few other faculty members to create and experiential curriculum for the class.
*Through the Office of the First-Year Experience enlist Y-group leaders to be mentors in these courses.

=== Priority 4: Finding purpose in General Education ===

==== General Education App ====

'''Project Lead''': Ashley Paget

'''BYU Potential Project Supporters''':

Patti Freeman, Associate Dean of General Education

'''Project Idea''': Create a BYU General Education App for student's smartphones. This app would have students take an initial survey of background, interests, and goals and dreams. With these results users would be matched with certain GEs that fit them best. It would also have a feature that showed what students with similar results have taken. Users could then see the overall GE course list, favorite certain choices and register for others, and see professor reviews. There would also be a platform to buy and sell textbooks from GE courses. 

'''Key Tactics''':

*Receive approval 
*Connect with IS dpartment for app development
*Design screens and graphics

=== Priority 1: Increase Networking Between Students and Faculty ===

'''Networking Lecture Series ft. Faculty in your College'''

'''Project Lead:''' Alex Bybee

'''BYU Potential Project Supporters:'''

'''''Dean Madrian, President Worthin '''''

'''Project Description:'''

Many student are unaware of the opportunities that come from networking with faculty, and if they do know they often feel uncomfortable reaching out. In order to create more opportunities for students and to help teachers empathize more with students we will create a lecture series class for campus networking. Each college will host a lecture series that features faculty who are willing to (brag) talk about their professional life and current research. At the conclusion of their lecture the teacher will explain how they might be able to help students find or create career paths in their area of expertise. 

'''Key Tactics:'''

*Hold focus groups with students from all the different majors to learn if this is beneficial everywhere across campus
*Interview teacher to see if they agree to the efficacy of this idea
*prototype an evening lecture about on campus networking and its importance. get feedback
*Create curriculum and syllabus for the class.

This study area will be an insulated room that is made of thick, transparent glass. The room will provide students with the BYU outdoor study experience while being protected from the weather (snow, rain, etc.); and it will also provide a group study area in natural light along with the ambiance of not being crowded into a building. Ventilation will come from the floor, connected to the pipes and tunnels under the university. Electricity for night time study groups will be solar-powered. The room will be reserved via an online reservation platform. Inside you will find a large (white or blue) study table that is elevated and has differentiating colored stools. Power outlets will be available on the table through circuit wires that come from an electrical connection in the ground. Small windows may be opened by sliding, and there will also be a sliding door. Preferably, this study room will be a BYU grass area that has some landscaping surrounding it and also has a pathway that leads straightway to the door.

Each college will host a lecture series that features faculty who are willing to (brag) talk about their professional life and current research. At the conclusion of their lecture the teacher will explain how they might be able to help students find or create career paths in their area of expertise. 

'''Key Tactics:'''

*Hold focus groups with students from all the different majors to learn if this is beneficial everywhere across campus
*Interview teacher to see if they agree to the efficacy of this idea
*prototype an evening lecture about on campus networking and its importance. get feedback
*Create curriculum and syllabus for the class.

=== Priority 1: Increase Networking Between Students and Faculty ===

'''Networking Lecture Series ft. Faculty in your College'''

'''Project Lead:''' Alex Bybee

'''BYU Potential Project Supporters:'''

'''''Dean Madrian, President Worthin '''''

'''Project Description:'''

Many student are unaware of the opportunities that come from networking with faculty, and if they do know they often feel uncomfortable reaching out. In order to create more opportunities for students and to help teachers empathize more with students we will create a lecture series class for campus networking. Each college will host a lecture series that features faculty who are willing to (brag) talk about their professional life and current research. At the conclusion of their lecture the teacher will explain how they might be able to help students find or create career paths in their area of expertise. 

'''Key Tactics:'''

*Hold focus groups with students from all the different majors to learn if this is beneficial everywhere across campus
*Interview teacher to see if they agree to the efficacy of this idea
*prototype an evening lecture about on campus networking and its importance. get feedback
*Create curriculum and syllabus for the class.

This study area will be an insulated room that is made of thick, transparent glass. The room will provide students with the BYU outdoor study experience while being protected from the weather (snow, rain, etc.); and it will also provide a group study area in natural light along with the ambiance of not being crowded into a building. Ventilation will come from the floor, connected to the pipes and tunnels under the university. Electricity for night time study groups will be solar-powered. The room will be reserved via an online reservation platform. Inside you will find a large (white or blue) study table that is elevated and has differentiating colored stools. Power outlets will be available on the table through circuit wires that come from an electrical connection in the ground. Small windows may be opened by sliding, and there will also be a sliding door. Preferably, this study room will be a BYU grass area that has some landscaping surrounding it and also has a pathway that leads straightway to the door.

= Encouraging Faculty Innovation and Entrepreneurship =

Brigham Young University’s motto, “Enter to learn, go forth to serve,” is presented at the entrance to campus. Faculty members know the importance of their role in helping students develop the required skillset to truly go forth into the world. Their responsibilities span a broad range of categories that directly influence students on campus. From course and curriculum development in the classroom to club and event involvement, as well as continual research and publishing as part of their tenure, the faculty are involved and invested with the students at Brigham Young University.

As part of the campus ecosystem to promote innovation and entrepreneurship, faculty members have played a critical role. In the Fall of 2018, the Design Thinking Minor is offered to provide interdisciplinary coursework in design thinking and innovation. Other faculty contributions and involvement include the Rollins Center for Entrepreneurship and Technology, the Ballard Center which focuses on innovation especially in the social sphere, and the Creativity, Innovation, and Design Group. Although the promotion of innovation and entrepreneurship on campus could extend beyond its current reach, faculty involved in the existing programs certainly provide needed mentorship and support to students. University President, Kevin J. Worthen, has recently been advocating a focus of experiential learning on campus. The college of experiential learning encompasses three sections—mentoring, innovative teaching and experiential learning. Through this program, students receive both educational and meaningful experiences outside of the classroom through internships, studying abroad, performances, field studies, touring and service projects. These experiences deepen learning and lead to inspiration.

= Actively Supporting the University Technology Transfer Function =

The BYU Technology Transfer prepares students and faculty members in their pursuit of bringing a new innovation or invention into the public market. They provide support with legal matters, the obtaining of official and binding Intellectual property, and provides expertise in all basic business functions.

= Facilitating University-Industry Collaboration =

Though BYU has focused on developing their innovation and entrepreneurial resources on campus, regional and local sources are growing and offer enormous potential for students in Provo. Product Hive and Front Utah offer training and mentoring to managers and designers and are perfect for students trying to break into the business industry. The Silicon Slopes area spans from Provo to Salt Lake City to Park City and is one of the fastest growing technological regions in the world. The Slopes are home to hundreds of startup companies, several of which have grown to be “unicorns,” valued at over a billion dollars. The proximity and growth rate of new and innovate companies make Silicon Slopes an excellent resource for BYU students looking to gain innovative and entrepreneurial experiences.

= Engaging with Regional and Local Economic Development Efforts =

From our research, it does not appear that BYU actively connects with any organizations seeking to develop the local economy. While the UIF program notes that many campuses have an economic development office to leverage university research and development for a positive local economic benefit, BYU has not created such a program. Connection to local economic development groups appears to be the most significant gap in our campus overview report, but perhaps a future relationship with the Utah Governor’s Office of Economic Development could change that and begin a new chapter at BYU.

= Encouraging Faculty Innovation and Entrepreneurship =

Brigham Young University’s motto, “Enter to learn, go forth to serve,” is presented at the entrance to campus. Faculty members know the importance of their role in helping students develop the required skillset to truly go forth into the world. Their responsibilities span a broad range of categories that directly influence students on campus. From course and curriculum development in the classroom to club and event involvement, as well as continual research and publishing as part of their tenure, the faculty are involved and invested with the students at Brigham Young University.

As part of the campus ecosystem to promote innovation and entrepreneurship, faculty members have played a critical role. In the Fall of 2018, the Design Thinking Minor is offered to provide interdisciplinary coursework in design thinking and innovation. Other faculty contributions and involvement include the Rollins Center for Entrepreneurship and Technology, the Ballard Center which focuses on innovation especially in the social sphere, and the Creativity, Innovation, and Design Group. Although the promotion of innovation and entrepreneurship on campus could extend beyond its current reach, faculty involved in the existing programs certainly provide needed mentorship and support to students. University President, Kevin J. Worthen, has recently been advocating a focus of experiential learning on campus. The college of experiential learning encompasses three sections—mentoring, innovative teaching and experiential learning. Through this program, students receive both educational and meaningful experiences outside of the classroom through internships, studying abroad, performances, field studies, touring and service projects. These experiences deepen learning and lead to inspiration.

= Actively Supporting the University Technology Transfer Function =

The BYU Technology Transfer prepares students and faculty members in their pursuit of bringing a new innovation or invention into the public market. They provide support with legal matters, the obtaining of official and binding Intellectual property, and provides expertise in all basic business functions.

= Facilitating University-Industry Collaboration =

Though BYU has focused on developing their innovation and entrepreneurial resources on campus, regional and local sources are growing and offer enormous potential for students in Provo. Product Hive and Front Utah offer training and mentoring to managers and designers and are perfect for students trying to break into the business industry. The Silicon Slopes area spans from Provo to Salt Lake City to Park City and is one of the fastest growing technological regions in the world. The Slopes are home to hundreds of startup companies, several of which have grown to be “unicorns,” valued at over a billion dollars. The proximity and growth rate of new and innovate companies make Silicon Slopes an excellent resource for BYU students looking to gain innovative and entrepreneurial experiences.

= Engaging with Regional and Local Economic Development Efforts =

From our research, it does not appear that BYU actively connects with any organizations seeking to develop the local economy. While the UIF program notes that many campuses have an economic development office to leverage university research and development for a positive local economic benefit, BYU has not created such a program.

=== Priority 1: Increase Networking Between Students and Faculty ===

'''Networking Lecture Series ft. Faculty in your College'''

'''Project Lead:''' Alex Bybee

'''BYU Potential Project Supporters:'''

'''''Dean Madrian, President Worthin '''''

'''Project Description:'''

Many student are unaware of the opportunities that come from networking with faculty, and if they do know they often feel uncomfortable reaching out. In order to create more opportunities for students and to help teachers empathize more with students we will create a lecture series class for campus networking. Each college will host a lecture series that features faculty who are willing to (brag) talk about their professional life and current research. At the conclusion of their lecture the teacher will explain how they might be able to help students find or create career paths in their area of expertise. 

'''Key Tactics:'''

*Hold focus groups with students from all the different majors to learn if this is beneficial everywhere across campus
*Interview teacher to see if they agree to the efficacy of this idea
*prototype an evening lecture about on campus networking and its importance. get feedback
*Create curriculum and syllabus for the class.

This study area will be an insulated room that is made of thick, transparent glass. The room will provide students with the BYU outdoor study experience while being protected from the weather (snow, rain, etc.); and it will also provide a group study area in natural light along with the ambiance of not being crowded into a building. Ventilation will come from the floor, connected to the pipes and tunnels under the university. Electricity for night time study groups will be solar-powered. The room will be reserved via an online reservation platform. Inside you will find a large (white or blue) study table that is elevated and has differentiating colored stools. Power outlets will be available on the table through circuit wires that come from an electrical connection in the ground. Small windows may be opened by sliding, and there will also be a sliding door. Preferably, this study room will be a BYU grass area that has some landscaping surrounding it and also has a pathway that leads straightway to the door.

'''BYU Potential Project Supporters:'''

'''''Dean Madrian, President Worthin '''''

'''Project Description:'''

Many student are unaware of the opportunities that come from networking with faculty, and if they do know they often feel uncomfortable reaching out. In order to create more opportunities for students and to help teachers empathize more with students we will create a lecture series class for campus networking. Each college will host a lecture series that features faculty who are willing to (brag) talk about their professional life and current research. At the conclusion of their lecture the teacher will explain how they might be able to help students find or create career paths in their area of expertise. 

'''Key Tactics:'''

*Hold focus groups with students from all the different majors to learn if this is beneficial everywhere across campus
*Interview teacher to see if they agree to the efficacy of this idea
*prototype an evening lecture about on campus networking and its importance. get feedback
*Create curriculum and syllabus for the class.

=== Priority 1: Increase Networking Between Students and Faculty ===

'''Networking Lecture Series ft. Faculty in your College'''

'''Project Lead:''' Alex Bybee

'''BYU Potential Project Supporters:'''

'''''Dean Madrian, President Worthin '''''

'''Project Description:'''

Many student are unaware of the opportunities that come from networking with faculty, and if they do know they often feel uncomfortable reaching out. In order to create more opportunities for students and to help teachers empathize more with students we will create a lecture series class for campus networking. Each college will host a lecture series that features faculty who are willing to (brag) talk about their professional life and current research. At the conclusion of their lecture the teacher will explain how they might be able to help students find or create career paths in their area of expertise. 

'''Key Tactics:'''

*Hold focus groups with students from all the different majors to learn if this is beneficial everywhere across campus
*Interview teacher to see if they agree to the efficacy of this idea
*prototype an evening lecture about on campus networking and its importance. get feedback
*Create curriculum and syllabus for the class.

This study area will be an insulated room that is made of thick, transparent glass. The room will provide students with the BYU outdoor study experience while being protected from the weather (snow, rain, etc.); and it will also provide a group study area in natural light along with the ambiance of not being crowded into a building. Ventilation will come from the floor, connected to the pipes and tunnels under the university. Electricity for night time study groups will be solar-powered. The room will be reserved via an online reservation platform. Inside you will find a large (white or blue) study table that is elevated and has differentiating colored stools. Power outlets will be available on the table through circuit wires that come from an electrical connection in the ground. Small windows may be opened by sliding, and there will also be a sliding door. Preferably, this study room will be a BYU grass area that has some landscaping surrounding it and also has a pathway that leads straightway to the door.

= Fall 2018 Cohort =

=== Priority 1: Increasing Interdisciplinary Space ===

'''Interdisciplinary Offices'''

'''Project Lead:''' Gabe Walker

'''BYU Potential Project Supporters:'''

'''''To Be Determined'''''

'''Project Description:'''

Every school and building on our campus would have some sort of space dedicated to a different discipline, industry, or focus. For example, putting a STEM innovation space in the College of Fine Arts, or a Humanities Innovation space in the Business Building. This would provide students with opportunities to engage with ideas that are generally different from what they normally learn, and would teach these students how to be innovative in applying interdisciplinary ideas into their learning outcomes.

'''Key Tactics:'''

*Meet with each school administration to pitch idea.
*Identify unused space in each building.
*Find individuals willing to work and run the space (as volunteers or paid staff).
*Identify which disciplines would benefit the most from the different variety of spaces.
*Regularly analyze the effectiveness of the space and the amount of student interaction that takes place.

=== Priority 2: Increasing Interdisciplinary Empathy ===

'''The BYU VR Experience'''

Project Lead: Ashley Paget

BYU Potential Project Supporters:

Mat Duerden

Project Description:

Creating a space for a Virtual Reality Experience for student development. Content would be developed to provide students with different experiences in classes, labs, and other hands on expereinces to help students learn more about different classes and majors. Other simulations would have job shadowing possibilities for students to experience the day to day of different careers. For example, students could be exposed to a 360 degree view of a physicians work day. This would allow students to explore different options and find what fits them best.

'''BYU Interdisciplinary Case Competitions'''

'''Project Lead:''' Rachel Merrill

'''BYU Potential Project Supporters:'''

Todd Manwaring ''"Ballard Center Director"''

'''Project Description:'''

A BYU case competition where teams are made up of students from different disciplines of study. Teams would compete to come up with solutions for a company in the neighboring area or to help solve community issues. Students' solutions that are chosen would be awarded cash prizes and help companies implement solutions.

'''Key Tactics:'''

*Partner with the Ballard Center to design the structure of the competition.
*Pitch competition to local businesses so students can work on solving the business problems neighboring our school.
*Find funding for the team that wins.
*Partner with the Ballard Center to utilize their public leverage in advertising this event.

=== Priority 3: Redesigning the First-Year Experience ===

'''Design Your "Y" Class'''

'''Project Lead:''' Rachel Merrill

'''BYU Potential Project Supporters:'''

Phillip D. Rash ''"First-Year Mentoring and Assistant Dean of Undergraduate Education at BYU"''

Matt Duerden ''"Assistant Professor of Experience Design and Management"''

'''Project Idea:''' A mentored class for first-year students focused on helping students find personally applicable resources--resources that tie to their personal motivations for being at BYU. A class that uses design thinking to help students prototype their experience at BYU and their impact in the world. A class that helps achieve the BYU aim "Enter to learn--go forth to serve".

'''Key Tactics:'''

*Work with Matt and other a few other faculty members to create and experiential curriculum for the class.
*Through the Office of the First-Year Experience enlist Y-group leaders to be mentors in these courses.
*Work with the office of General Education to have this course recognized at BYU.
*Prototype small versions of this class with groups of Freshman students.
*Work with the Career Center to find effective surveys to use for grouping students.

=== Priority 4: Finding purpose in General Education ===

==== General Education App ====

'''Project Lead''': Ashley Paget

'''BYU Potential Project Supporters''':

Patti Freeman, Associate Dean of General Education

'''Project Idea''': Create a BYU General Education App for student's smartphones. This app would have students take an initial survey of background, interests, and goals and dreams. With these results users would be matched with certain GEs that fit them best. It would also have a feature that showed what students with similar results have taken. Users could then see the overall GE course list, favorite certain choices and register for others, and see professor reviews. There would also be a platform to buy and sell textbooks from GE courses. 

'''Key Tactics''':

*Receive approval 
*Connect with IS dpartment for app development
*Design screens and graphics

Ballard Innovation Team: An internal consulting group that utilizes design thinking to improve the Ballard Center programs.

= Encouraging Faculty Innovation and Entrepreneurship =

Brigham Young University’s motto, “Enter to learn, go forth to serve,” is presented at the entrance to campus. Faculty members know the importance of their role in helping students develop the required skillset to truly go forth into the world. Their responsibilities span a broad range of categories that directly influence students on campus. From course and curriculum development in the classroom to club and event involvement, as well as continual research and publishing as part of their tenure, the faculty are involved and invested with the students at Brigham Young University.

As part of the campus ecosystem to promote innovation and entrepreneurship, faculty members have played a critical role. Most recently, as of Fall 2018, the Design Thinking Minor is offered to provide interdisciplinary coursework in design thinking and innovation. Other faculty contributions and involvement include the Rollins Center for Entrepreneurship and Technology, the Ballard Center which focuses on innovation especially in the social sphere, and the Creativity, Innovation, and Design Group. Although the promotion of innovation and entrepreneurship on campus could extend beyond its current reach, faculty involved in the existing programs certainly provide needed mentorship and support to students. University President, Kevin J. Worthen, has recently been advocating a focus of experiential learning on campus which seems like an inspired step in the right direction for the future of the university and the students who study there.

= Actively Supporting the University Technology Transfer Function =

The BYU Technology Transfer prepares students and faculty members in their pursuit of bringing a new innovation or invention into the public market. They provide support with legal matters, the obtaining of official and binding Intellectual property, and provides expertise in all basic business functions.

= Facilitating University-Industry Collaboration =

Though BYU has focused on developing their innovation and entrepreneurial resources on campus, regional and local sources are growing and offer enormous potential for students in Provo. Product Hive and Front Utah offer training and mentoring to managers and designers and are perfect for students trying to break into the business industry. The Silicon Slopes area spans from Provo to Salt Lake City to Park City and is one of the fastest growing technological regions in the world. The Slopes are home to hundreds of startup companies, several of which have grown to be “unicorns,” valued at over a billion dollars. The proximity and growth rate of new and innovate companies make Silicon Slopes an excellent resource for BYU students looking to gain innovative and entrepreneurial experiences.

= Engaging with Regional and Local Economic Development Efforts =

From our research, it does not appear that BYU actively connects with any organizations seeking to develop the local economy. While the UIF program notes that many campuses have an economic development office to leverage university research and development for a positive local economic benefit, BYU has not created such a program. Connection to local economic development groups appears to be the most significant gap in our campus overview report, but perhaps a future relationship with the Utah Governor’s Office of Economic Development could change that and begin a new chapter at BYU.

'''BYU Potential Project Supporters:'''

'''''Dean Madrian, President Worthin '''''

'''Project Description:'''

Many student are unaware of the opportunities that come from networking with faculty, and if they do know they often feel uncomfortable reaching out. In order to create more opportunities for students and to help teachers empathize more with students we will create a lecture series class for campus networking. Each college will host a lecture series that features faculty who are willing to (brag) talk about their professional life and current research. At the conclusion of their lecture the teacher will explain how they might be able to help students find or create career paths in their area of expertise. 

'''Key Tactics:'''

*Hold focus groups with students from all the different majors to learn if this is beneficial everywhere across campus
*Interview teacher to see if they agree to the efficacy of this idea
*prototype an evening lecture about on campus networking and its importance. get feedback
*Create curriculum and syllabus for the class.

This study area will be an insulated room that is made of thick, transparent glass. The room will provide students with the BYU outdoor study experience while being protected from the weather (snow, rain, etc.); and it will also provide a group study area in natural light along with the ambiance of not being crowded into a building. Ventilation will come from the floor, connected to the pipes and tunnels under the university. Electricity for night time study groups will be solar-powered. The room will be reserved via an online reservation platform. Inside you will find a large (white or blue) study table that is elevated and has differentiating colored stools. Power outlets will be available on the table through circuit wires that come from an electrical connection in the ground. Small windows may be opened by sliding, and there will also be a sliding door. Preferably, this study room will be a BYU grass area that has some landscaping surrounding it and also has a pathway that leads straightway to the door.

=== Priority 1: Increasing Interdisciplinary Space ===

'''Interdisciplinary Offices'''

'''Project Lead:''' Gabe Walker

'''BYU Potential Project Supporters:'''

'''''To Be Determined'''''

'''Project Description:'''

Every school and building on our campus would have some sort of space dedicated to a different discipline, industry, or focus. For example, putting a STEM innovation space in the College of Fine Arts, or a Humanities Innovation space in the Business Building. This would provide students with opportunities to engage with ideas that are generally different from what they normally learn, and would teach these students how to be innovative in applying interdisciplinary ideas into their learning outcomes.

'''Key Tactics:'''

*Meet with each school administration to pitch idea.
*Identify unused space in each building.
*Find individuals willing to work and run the space (as volunteers or paid staff).
*Identify which disciplines would benefit the most from the different variety of spaces.
*Regularly analyze the effectiveness of the space and the amount of student interaction that takes place.

=== Priority 2: Increasing Interdisciplinary Empathy ===

'''The BYU VR Experience'''

Project Lead: Ashley Paget

BYU Potential Project Supporters:

Mat Duerden

Project Description:

Creating a space for a Virtual Reality Experience for student development. Content would be developed to provide students with different experiences in classes, labs, and other hands on expereinces to help students learn more about different classes and majors. Other simulations would have job shadowing possibilities for students to experience the day to day of different careers. For example, students could be exposed to a 360 degree view of a physicians work day. This would allow students to explore different options and find what fits them best.

'''BYU Interdisciplinary Case Competitions'''

'''Project Lead:''' Rachel Merrill

'''BYU Potential Project Supporters:'''

Todd Manwaring ''"Ballard Center Director"''

'''Project Description:'''

Ventilation will come from the floor, connected to the pipes and tunnels under the university. Electricity for night time study groups will be solar-powered. The room will be reserved via an online reservation platform. Inside you will find a large (white or blue) study table that is elevated and has differentiating colored stools. Power outlets will be available on the table through circuit wires that come from an electrical connection in the ground. Small windows may be opened by sliding, and there will also be a sliding door. Preferably, this study room will be a BYU grass area that has some landscaping surrounding it and also has a pathway that leads straightway to the door.

'''Networking Lecture Series ft. Faculty in your College'''

'''Project Lead:''' Alex Bybee

'''BYU Potential Project Supporters:'''

'''''Dean Madrian, President Worthin '''''

'''Project Description:'''

Many student are unaware of the opportunities that come from networking with faculty, and if they do know they often feel uncomfortable reaching out. In order to create more opportunities for students and to help teachers empathize more with students we will create a lecture series class for campus networking. Each college will host a lecture series that features faculty who are willing to (brag) talk about their professional life and current research. At the conclusion of their lecture the teacher will explain how they might be able to help students find or create career paths in their area of expertise. 

'''Key Tactics:'''

*Hold focus groups with students from all the different majors to learn if this is beneficial everywhere across campus
*Interview teacher to see if they agree to the efficacy of this idea
*prototype an evening lecture about on campus networking and its importance. get feedback
*Create curriculum and syllabus for the class.

'''''Dean Madrian, President Worthin '''''

'''Project Description:'''

Many student are unaware of the opportunities that come from networking with faculty, and if they do know they often feel uncomfortable reaching out. In order to create more opportunities for students and to help teachers empathize more with students we will create a lecture series class for campus networking. Each college will host a lecture series that features faculty who are willing to (brag) talk about their professional life and current research. At the conclusion of their lecture the teacher will explain how they might be able to help students find or create career paths in their area of expertise. 

'''Key Tactics:'''

*Hold focus groups with students from all the different majors to learn if this is beneficial everywhere across campus
*Interview teacher to see if they agree to the efficacy of this idea
*prototype an evening lecture about on campus networking and its importance. get feedback
*Create curriculum and syllabus for the class.

Project Lead: Kyle Macdonald 

 BYU Potential Project Supporters:  Mat Duerden & Tim W McClain 

 Project Description: My goal is to create an outdoor study area for the students of BYU than gives them a new, invigorating experience. This study area will be an insulated room that is made of thick, transparent glass. The room will provide students with the BYU outdoor study experience while being protected from the weather (snow, rain, etc.); and it will also provide a group study area in natural light along with the ambiance of not being crowded into a building. Ventilation will come from the floor, connected to the pipes and tunnels under the university. Electricity for night time study groups will be solar-powered. The room will be reserved via an online reservation platform. Inside you will find a large (white or blue) study table that is elevated and has differentiating colored stools. Power outlets will be available on the table through circuit wires that come from an electrical connection in the ground. Small windows may be opened by sliding, and there will also be a sliding door. Preferably, this study room will be a BYU grass area that has some landscaping surrounding it and also has a pathway that leads straightway to the door.

'''BYU Potential Project Supporters:'''

'''''Dean Madrian, President Worthin '''''

'''Project Description:'''

Many student are unaware of the opportunities that come from networking with faculty, and if they do know they often feel uncomfortable reaching out. In order to create more opportunities for students and to help teachers empathize more with students we will create a lecture series class for campus networking. Each college will host a lecture series that features faculty who are willing to (brag) talk about their professional life and current research. At the conclusion of their lecture the teacher will explain how they might be able to help students find or create career paths in their area of expertise. 

'''Key Tactics:'''

*Hold focus groups with students from all the different majors to learn if this is beneficial everywhere across campus
*Interview teacher to see if they agree to the efficacy of this idea
*prototype an evening lecture about on campus networking and its importance. get feedback
*Create curriculum and syllabus for the class.

== Fall 2018 Cohort ==

=== Priority 1: Increasing Interdisciplinary Space ===

'''Interdisciplinary Offices'''

'''Project Lead:''' Gabe Walker

'''BYU Potential Project Supporters:'''

'''''To Be Determined'''''

'''Project Description:'''

Every school and building on our campus would have some sort of space dedicated to a different discipline, industry, or focus. For example, putting a STEM innovation space in the College of Fine Arts, or a Humanities Innovation space in the Business Building. This would provide students with opportunities to engage with ideas that are generally different from what they normally learn, and would teach these students how to be innovative in applying interdisciplinary ideas into their learning outcomes.

'''Key Tactics:'''

*Meet with each school administration to pitch idea.
*Identify unused space in each building.
*Find individuals willing to work and run the space (as volunteers or paid staff).
*Identify which disciplines would benefit the most from the different variety of spaces.
*Regularly analyze the effectiveness of the space and the amount of student interaction that takes place.

=== Priority 2: Increasing Interdisciplinary Empathy ===

'''The BYU VR Experience'''

Project Lead: Ashley Paget

BYU Potential Project Supporters:

Mat Duerden

Project Description:

Creating a space for a Virtual Reality Experience for student development. Content would be developed to provide students with different experiences in classes, labs, and other hands on expereinces to help students learn more about different classes and majors. Other simulations would have job shadowing possibilities for students to experience the day to day of different careers. For example, students could be exposed to a 360 degree view of a physicians work day. This would allow students to explore different options and find what fits them best.

'''BYU Interdisciplinary Case Competitions'''

'''Project Lead:''' Rachel Merrill

'''BYU Potential Project Supporters:'''

Todd Manwaring ''"Ballard Center Director"''

'''Project Description:'''

A BYU case competition where teams are made up of students from different disciplines of study. Teams would compete to come up with solutions for a company in the neighboring area or to help solve community issues. Students' solutions that are chosen would be awarded cash prizes and help companies implement solutions.

'''Key Tactics:'''

*Partner with the Ballard Center to design the structure of the competition.
*Pitch competition to local businesses so students can work on solving the business problems neighboring our school.
*Find funding for the team that wins.
*Partner with the Ballard Center to utilize their public leverage in advertising this event.

=== Priority 3: Redesigning the First-Year Experience ===

'''Design Your "Y" Class'''

'''Project Lead:''' Rachel Merrill

'''BYU Potential Project Supporters:'''

Phillip D. Rash ''"First-Year Mentoring and Assistant Dean of Undergraduate Education at BYU"''

Matt Duerden ''"Assistant Professor of Experience Design and Management"''

'''Project Idea:''' A mentored class for first-year students focused on helping students find personally applicable resources--resources that tie to their personal motivations for being at BYU. A class that uses design thinking to help students prototype their experience at BYU and their impact in the world. A class that helps achieve the BYU aim "Enter to learn--go forth to serve".

'''Key Tactics:'''

*Work with Matt and other a few other faculty members to create and experiential curriculum for the class.
*Through the Office of the First-Year Experience enlist Y-group leaders to be mentors in these courses.
*Work with the office of General Education to have this course recognized at BYU.
*Prototype small versions of this class with groups of Freshman students.

=== Priority 4: Finding purpose in General Education ===

==== General Education App ====

'''Project Lead''': Ashley Paget

'''BYU Potential Project Supporters''':

Patti Freeman, Associate Dean of General Education

'''Project Idea''': Create a BYU General Education App for student's smartphones. This app would have students take an initial survey of background, interests, and goals and dreams. With these results users would be matched with certain GEs that fit them best. It would also have a feature that showed what students with similar results have taken. Users could then see the overall GE course list, favorite certain choices and register for others, and see professor reviews. There would also be a platform to buy and sell textbooks from GE courses. 

'''Key Tactics''':

*Receive approval 
*Connect with IS dpartment for app development
*Design screens and graphics
*Test basic functions in the library with students
*Work out bugs 
*Link app to current BYU app

==== General Education Think Tank ====

'''Project Lead:''' Dallas Anderson

Develop new ideas and solutions to complement the General Education department's desire to improve the general education experience at BYU. Students ideate and prototype ideas for what they would want general education to look and feel like at BYU. 

'''Key Tactics:'''

*Provide paper, whiteboards, and other supplies for student ideation and prototyping.
*Work with Brian to identify ExDM students with exceptional leadership and creativity skills to lead the event.
*Gather feedback from online surveys from students who are unable to attend the event but still want to contribute.
*Meet with Patti, Brian, and other stakeholders to identify the best ideas from the think tank.
*Work with Patti and the General Education department to connect student ideas to the BYU Aims of Education and implement the best ideas on campus.

 Project Description: My goal is to create an outdoor study area for the students of BYU than gives them a new, invigorating experience. This study area will be an insulated room that is made of thick, transparent glass. The room will provide students with the BYU outdoor study experience while being protected from the weather (snow, rain, etc.); and it will also provide a group study area in natural light along with the ambiance of not being crowded into a building. Ventilation will come from the floor, connected to the pipes and tunnels under the university. Electricity for night time study groups will be solar-powered. The room will be reserved via an online reservation platform. Inside you will find a large (white or blue) study table that is elevated and has differentiating colored stools. Power outlets will be available on the table through circuit wires that come from an electrical connection in the ground. Small windows may be opened by sliding, and there will also be a sliding door.

 Project Description: My goal is to create an outdoor study area for the students of BYU than gives them a new, invigorating experience. This study area will be an insulated room that is made of thick, transparent glass. The room will provide students with the BYU outdoor study experience while being protected from the weather (snow, rain, etc.); and it will also provide a group study area in natural light along with the ambiance of not being crowded into a building. Ventilation will come from the floor, connected to the pipes and tunnels under the university. Electricity for night time study groups will be solar-powered. The room will be reserved via an online reservation platform. Inside you will find a large (white or blue) study table that is elevated and has differentiating colored stools. Power outlets will be available on the table through circuit wires that come from an electrical connection in the ground. Small windows may be opened by sliding, and there will also be a sliding door. Preferably, this study room will be a BYU grass area that has some landscaping surrounding it and also has a pathway that leads straightway to the door.

'''BYU Potential Project Supporters:'''

'''''Dean Madrian, President Worthin '''''

'''Project Description:'''

Many student are unaware of the opportunities that come from networking with faculty, and if they do know they often feel uncomfortable reaching out. In order to create more opportunities for students and to help teachers empathize more with students we will create a lecture series class for campus networking. Each college will host a lecture series that features faculty who are willing to (brag) talk about their professional life and current research. At the conclusion of their lecture the teacher will explain how they might be able to help students find or create career paths in their area of expertise. 

'''Key Tactics:'''

*Hold focus groups with students from all the different majors to learn if this is beneficial everywhere across campus
*Interview teacher to see if they agree to the efficacy of this idea
*prototype an evening lecture about on campus networking and its importance. get feedback
*Create curriculum and syllabus for the class.

=== Priority 1: Increasing Interdisciplinary Space ===

'''Interdisciplinary Offices'''

'''Project Lead:''' Gabe Walker

'''BYU Potential Project Supporters:'''

'''''To Be Determined'''''

'''Project Description:'''

Every school and building on our campus would have some sort of space dedicated to a different discipline, industry, or focus. For example, putting a STEM innovation space in the College of Fine Arts, or a Humanities Innovation space in the Business Building. This would provide students with opportunities to engage with ideas that are generally different from what they normally learn, and would teach these students how to be innovative in applying interdisciplinary ideas into their learning outcomes.

'''Key Tactics:'''

*Meet with each school administration to pitch idea.
*Identify unused space in each building.
*Find individuals willing to work and run the space (as volunteers or paid staff).
*Identify which disciplines would benefit the most from the different variety of spaces.
*Regularly analyze the effectiveness of the space and the amount of student interaction that takes place.

=== Priority 2: Increasing Interdisciplinary Empathy ===

'''The BYU VR Experience'''

Project Lead: Ashley Paget

BYU Potential Project Supporters:

Mat Duerden

Project Description:

Creating a space for a Virtual Reality Experience for student development. Content would be developed to provide students with different experiences in classes, labs, and other hands on expereinces to help students learn more about different classes and majors. Other simulations would have job shadowing possibilities for students to experience the day to day of different careers. For example, students could be exposed to a 360 degree view of a physicians work day. This would allow students to explore different options and find what fits them best.

'''BYU Interdisciplinary Case Competitions'''

'''Project Lead:''' Rachel Merrill

'''BYU Potential Project Supporters:'''

Todd Manwaring ''"Ballard Center Director"''

'''Project Description:'''

A BYU case competition where teams are made up of students from different disciplines of study. Teams would compete to come up with solutions for a company in the neighboring area or to help solve community issues. Students' solutions that are chosen would be awarded cash prizes and help companies implement solutions.

'''Key Tactics:'''

*Partner with the Ballard Center to design the structure of the competition.
*Pitch competition to local businesses so students can work on solving the business problems neighboring our school.
*Find funding for the team that wins.
*Partner with the Ballard Center to utilize their public leverage in advertising this event.

Ventilation will come from the floor, connected to the pipes and tunnels under the university. Electricity for night time study groups will be solar-powered. The room will be reserved via an online reservation platform. Inside you will find a large (white or blue) study table that is elevated and has differentiating colored stools. Power outlets will be available on the table through circuit wires that come from an electrical connection in the ground. Small windows may be opened by sliding, and there will also be a sliding door. Preferably, this study room will be a BYU grass area that has some landscaping surrounding it and also has a pathway that leads straightway to the door.

 Project Description: My goal is to create an outdoor study area for the students of BYU than gives them a new, invigorating experience. This study area will be an insulated room that is made of thick, transparent glass. The room will provide students with the BYU outdoor study experience while being protected from the weather (snow, rain, etc.); and it will also provide a group study area in natural light along with the ambiance of not being crowded into a building. Ventilation will come from the floor, connected to the pipes and tunnels under the university. Electricity for night time study groups will be solar-powered. The room will be reserved via an online reservation platform. Inside you will find a large (white or blue) study table that is elevated and has differentiating colored stools. Power outlets will be available on the table through circuit wires that come from an electrical connection in the ground. Small windows may be opened by sliding, and there will also be a sliding door. Preferably, this study room will be a BYU grass area that has some landscaping surrounding it and also has a pathway that leads straightway to the door.

=== Priority 1: Increasing Interdisciplinary Space ===

'''Interdisciplinary Offices'''

'''Project Lead:''' Gabe Walker

'''BYU Potential Project Supporters:'''

'''''To Be Determined'''''

'''Project Description:'''

Every school and building on our campus would have some sort of space dedicated to a different discipline, industry, or focus. For example, putting a STEM innovation space in the College of Fine Arts, or a Humanities Innovation space in the Business Building. This would provide students with opportunities to engage with ideas that are generally different from what they normally learn, and would teach these students how to be innovative in applying interdisciplinary ideas into their learning outcomes.

'''Key Tactics:'''

*Meet with each school administration to pitch idea.
*Identify unused space in each building.
*Find individuals willing to work and run the space (as volunteers or paid staff).
*Identify which disciplines would benefit the most from the different variety of spaces.
*Regularly analyze the effectiveness of the space and the amount of student interaction that takes place.

=== Priority 2: Increasing Interdisciplinary Empathy ===

'''The BYU VR Experience'''

Project Lead: Ashley Paget

BYU Potential Project Supporters:

Mat Duerden

Project Description:

Creating a space for a Virtual Reality Experience for student development. Content would be developed to provide students with different experiences in classes, labs, and other hands on expereinces to help students learn more about different classes and majors. Other simulations would have job shadowing possibilities for students to experience the day to day of different careers. For example, students could be exposed to a 360 degree view of a physicians work day. This would allow students to explore different options and find what fits them best.

'''BYU Interdisciplinary Case Competitions'''

'''Project Lead:''' Rachel Merrill

'''BYU Potential Project Supporters:'''

Todd Manwaring ''"Ballard Center Director"''

'''Project Description:'''

A BYU case competition where teams are made up of students from different disciplines of study. Teams would compete to come up with solutions for a company in the neighboring area or to help solve community issues. Students' solutions that are chosen would be awarded cash prizes and help companies implement solutions.

'''Key Tactics:'''

*Partner with the Ballard Center to design the structure of the competition.
*Pitch competition to local businesses so students can work on solving the business problems neighboring our school.
*Find funding for the team that wins.
*Partner with the Ballard Center to utilize their public leverage in advertising this event.

==== General Education App ====

'''Project Lead''': Ashley Paget

'''BYU Potential Project Supporters''':

Patti Freeman, Associate Dean of General Education

'''Project Idea''': Create a BYU General Education App for student's smartphones. This app would have students take an initial survey of background, interests, and goals and dreams. With these results users would be matched with certain GEs that fit them best. It would also have a feature that showed what students with similar results have taken. Users could then see the overall GE course list, favorite certain choices and register for others, and see professor reviews. There would also be a platform to buy and sell textbooks from GE courses. 

'''Key Tactics''':

*Receive approval 
*Connect with IS dpartment for app development
*Design screens and graphics
*Test basic functions in the library with students

'''Project Description:'''

Every school and building on our campus would have some sort of space dedicated to a different discipline, industry, or focus. For example, putting a STEM innovation space in the College of Fine Arts, or a Humanities Innovation space in the Business Building. This would provide students with opportunities to engage with ideas that are generally different from what they normally learn, and would teach these students how to be innovative in applying interdisciplinary ideas into their learning outcomes.

'''Key Tactics:'''

*Meet with each school administration to pitch idea.
*Identify unused space in each building.
*Find individuals willing to work and run the space (as volunteers or paid staff).

'''Project Description:'''

Many student are unaware of the opportunities that come from networking with faculty, and if they do know they often feel uncomfortable reaching out. In order to create more opportunities for students and to help teachers empathize more with students we will create a lecture series class for campus networking. Each college will host a lecture series that features faculty who are willing to (brag) talk about their professional life and current research. At the conclusion of their lecture the teacher will explain how they might be able to help students find or create career paths in their area of expertise.

'''Project Description:'''

Many student are unaware of the opportunities that come from networking with faculty, and if they do know they often feel uncomfortable reaching out. In order to create more opportunities for students and to help teachers empathize more with students we will create a lecture series class for campus networking. Each college will host a lecture series that features faculty who are willing to (brag) talk about their professional life and current research. At the conclusion of their lecture the teacher will explain how they might be able to help students find or create career paths in their area of expertise.

 Project Description: My goal is to create an outdoor study area for the students of BYU than gives them a new, invigorating experience. This study area will be an insulated room that is made of thick, transparent glass. The room will provide students with the BYU outdoor study experience while being protected from the weather (snow, rain, etc.); and it will also provide a group study area in natural light along with the ambiance of not being crowded into a building. Ventilation will come from the floor, connected to the pipes and tunnels under the university. Electricity for night time study groups will be solar-powered. The room will be reserved via an online reservation platform. Inside you will find a large (white or blue) study table that is elevated and has differentiating colored stools. Power outlets will be available on the table through circuit wires that come from an electrical connection in the ground. Small windows may be opened by sliding, and there will also be a sliding door. Preferably, this study room will be a BYU grass area that has some landscaping surrounding it and also has a pathway that leads straightway to the door.

=== Priority 1: Increasing Interdisciplinary Space ===

'''Interdisciplinary Offices'''

'''Project Lead:''' Gabe Walker

'''BYU Potential Project Supporters:'''

'''''To Be Determined'''''

'''Project Description:'''

Every school and building on our campus would have some sort of space dedicated to a different discipline, industry, or focus. For example, putting a STEM innovation space in the College of Fine Arts, or a Humanities Innovation space in the Business Building. This would provide students with opportunities to engage with ideas that are generally different from what they normally learn, and would teach these students how to be innovative in applying interdisciplinary ideas into their learning outcomes.

'''Key Tactics:'''

*Meet with each school administration to pitch idea.
*Identify unused space in each building.
*Find individuals willing to work and run the space (as volunteers or paid staff).
*Identify which disciplines would benefit the most from the different variety of spaces.
*Regularly analyze the effectiveness of the space and the amount of student interaction that takes place.

=== Priority 2: Increasing Interdisciplinary Empathy ===

'''The BYU VR Experience'''

Project Lead: Ashley Paget

BYU Potential Project Supporters:

Mat Duerden

Project Description:

Creating a space for a Virtual Reality Experience for student development. Content would be developed to provide students with different experiences in classes, labs, and other hands on expereinces to help students learn more about different classes and majors. Other simulations would have job shadowing possibilities for students to experience the day to day of different careers. For example, students could be exposed to a 360 degree view of a physicians work day. This would allow students to explore different options and find what fits them best.

'''BYU Interdisciplinary Case Competitions'''

'''Project Lead:''' Rachel Merrill

'''BYU Potential Project Supporters:'''

Todd Manwaring ''"Ballard Center Director"''

'''Project Description:'''

A BYU case competition where teams are made up of students from different disciplines of study. Teams would compete to come up with solutions for a company in the neighboring area or to help solve community issues. Students' solutions that are chosen would be awarded cash prizes and help companies implement solutions.

'''Key Tactics:'''

*Partner with the Ballard Center to design the structure of the competition.
*Pitch competition to local businesses so students can work on solving the business problems neighboring our school.
*Find funding for the team that wins.
*Partner with the Ballard Center to utilize their public leverage in advertising this event.

=== Priority 3: Redesigning the First-Year Experience ===

'''Design Your "Y" Class'''

'''Project Lead:''' Rachel Merrill

'''BYU Potential Project Supporters:'''

Phillip D. Rash ''"First-Year Mentoring and Assistant Dean of Undergraduate Education at BYU"''

Matt Duerden ''"Assistant Professor of Experience Design and Management"''

'''Project Idea:''' A mentored class for first-year students focused on helping students find personally applicable resources--resources that tie to their personal motivations for being at BYU. A class that uses design thinking to help students prototype their experience at BYU and their impact in the world. A class that helps achieve the BYU aim "Enter to learn--go forth to serve".

'''Key Tactics:'''

*Work with Matt and other a few other faculty members to create and experiential curriculum for the class.
*Through the Office of the First-Year Experience enlist Y-group leaders to be mentors in these courses.
*Work with the office of General Education to have this course recognized at BYU.
*Prototype small versions of this class with groups of Freshman students.
*Work with the Career Center to find effective surveys to use for grouping students.

=== Priority 4: Finding purpose in General Education ===

==== General Education App ====

'''Project Lead''': Ashley Paget

'''BYU Potential Project Supporters''':

Patti Freeman, Associate Dean of General Education

'''Project Idea''': Create a BYU General Education App for student's smartphones. This app would have students take an initial survey of background, interests, and goals and dreams. With these results users would be matched with certain GEs that fit them best. It would also have a feature that showed what students with similar results have taken. Users could then see the overall GE course list, favorite certain choices and register for others, and see professor reviews. There would also be a platform to buy and sell textbooks from GE courses. 

'''Key Tactics''':

*Receive approval 
*Connect with IS dpartment for app development
*Design screens and graphics
*Test basic functions in the library with students
*Work out bugs 
*Link app to current BYU app

Develop new ideas and solutions to complement the General Education department's desire to improve the general education experience at BYU. Students ideate and prototype ideas for what they would want general education to look and feel like at BYU. 

'''Key Tactics:'''

*Provide paper, whiteboards, and other supplies for student ideation and prototyping.
*Work with Brian to identify ExDM students with exceptional leadership and creativity skills to lead the event.
*Gather feedback from online surveys from students who are unable to attend the event but still want to contribute.
*Meet with Patti, Brian, and other stakeholders to identify the best ideas from the think tank.
*Work with Patti and the General Education department to connect student ideas to the BYU Aims of Education and implement the best ideas on campus.

'''Project Description:'''

Many student are unaware of the opportunities that come from networking with faculty, and if they do know they often feel uncomfortable reaching out. In order to create more opportunities for students and to help teachers empathize more with students we will create a lecture series class for campus networking. Each college will host a lecture series that features faculty who are willing to (brag) talk about their professional life and current research. At the conclusion of their lecture the teacher will explain how they might be able to help students find or create career paths in their area of expertise. 

'''Key Tactics:'''

*Hold focus groups with students from all the different majors to learn if this is beneficial everywhere across campus
*Interview teacher to see if they agree to the efficacy of this idea
*prototype an evening lecture about on campus networking and its importance. get feedback
*Create curriculum and syllabus for the class.

This study area will be an insulated room that is made of thick, transparent glass. The room will provide students with the BYU outdoor study experience while being protected from the weather (snow, rain, etc.); and it will also provide a group study area in natural light along with the ambiance of not being crowded into a building. Ventilation will come from the floor, connected to the pipes and tunnels under the university. Electricity for night time study groups will be solar-powered. The room will be reserved via an online reservation platform. Inside you will find a large (white or blue) study table that is elevated and has differentiating colored stools. Power outlets will be available on the table through circuit wires that come from an electrical connection in the ground. Small windows may be opened by sliding, and there will also be a sliding door. Preferably, this study room will be a BYU grass area that has some landscaping surrounding it and also has a pathway that leads straightway to the door.

'''''To Be Determined'''''

'''Project Description:'''

Every school and building on our campus would have some sort of space dedicated to a different discipline, industry, or focus. For example, putting a STEM innovation space in the College of Fine Arts, or a Humanities Innovation space in the Business Building. This would provide students with opportunities to engage with ideas that are generally different from what they normally learn, and would teach these students how to be innovative in applying interdisciplinary ideas into their learning outcomes.

'''Key Tactics:'''

*Meet with each school administration to pitch idea.
*Identify unused space in each building.
*Find individuals willing to work and run the space (as volunteers or paid staff).
