The focus on the Honors College curriculum is an alternate education that focuses on integration of topics and perspectives, utilizing the resources surrounding the GVSU community.<br /> <br /> There has been a movement through the past several years to improve the innovation and entrepreneurship landscape on GVSU main campuses. This recent push has gained the momentum of numerous courses, clubs, workshops, competitions and other programs involving innovation and entrepreneurship. The infrastructure is slowly growing to empower a greater number of students with the skills and mindset of an entrepreneur and innovator. With a continued focus on liberal arts, Grand Valley has been working on integrating subjects to allow for students to receive a more well-rounded education.<br /> <br /> == Campus Overview ==<br /> <br /> '''Promoting Student Innovation and Entrepreneurship'''<br /> <br /> As of 2018, GVSU has three non I&E departments utilizing Innovation and Entrepreneurship in their courses: Brooks College of Interdisciplinary Studies, Marketing, and the Honors College. Students can also use the following resources to support their learning through I&E:<br /> <br /> *Hack Your Campus<br /> *TedxGVSU<br /> *Sustainable Agriculture Project (SAP)<br /> *Honors College Lecture Series<br /> *Learn How to Pitch<br /> *“Seven Principles of Entrepreneurship<br /> *Start Garden<br /> <br /> &nbsp;<br /> <br /> '''Encouraging Faculty Innovation and Entrepreneurship'''<br /> <br /> At Grand Valley, faculty are highly encouraged to pursue research. Many faculty allow students to collaborate on their research, which creates many research opportunities at and within Grand Valley. If faculty are pursing research, their course load will be limited to three total courses per semester.<br /> <br /> &nbsp;<br /> <br /> '''Facilitating University-Industry Collaboration'''<br /> <br /> Within GVSU and the surrounding community, many programs and partnerships have become available to promote a continued use of I&E outside of the classroom. These programs include:<br /> <br /> ·&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; GR Makers<br /> <br /> ·&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Grand Angels<br /> <br /> ·&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Blackford Capital<br /> <br /> ·&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Grand Rapids Inventors Network<br /> <br /> ·&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Start Garden/Varnum Consulting<br /> <br /> ·&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; GR Current<br /> <br /> &nbsp;<br /> <br /> '''Engaging with Regional and Local Economic Development Efforts'''<br /> <br /> With its prime location at the heart of West Michigan, Grand Valley works with the Van Andel Global Trade Institute and the West Michigan Science and Technology Initiative through both Grand Rapids and Muskegon SmartZone to promote local economic development. Grand Valley also supports a number of charter schools throughout the state of Michigan.&nbsp;<br /> <br /> == <span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px">Entrepreneurship and Innovation</span> ==<br /> <br /> <span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px">Not only does Grand Valley State University support its students in innovation and entrepreneurship, both in and outside the classroom, but the Grand Rapids community also supports it. There are many organizations that offer funding, advising, space, and much more for small start up companies and businesses.

Additionally, there are many opportunities to pitch business plans and look for funding. That being said, there are limited opportunities at Grand Valley to be introduced to design thinking outside of the classroom. There aren’t safe spaces to play around with new ideas, collaborate without pressure, or connect with people in different areas of study. The GVSU Honors College is bursting with potential. We hope to introduce better methods to inspire young, innovative Grand Valley students, across disciplines, to adopt an entrepreneurial mindset, and make innovation a key aspect of campus culture. Afterwards, we want to develop a communication pipeline so that good ideas can be nurtured, grown, and developed through collaboration.</span></span><br /> <br /> = <span style="font-size:xx-large;">Opportunity Focus</span> =<br /> <ul style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><br /> <li><span id="docs-internal-guid-7e9de390-543e-ef50-53e4-5d65d8c21061"><span style="font-size: 11pt; background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Few opportunities for students to experience the design process outside of coursework.</span></span></li><br /> <li><span id="docs-internal-guid-7e9de390-543e-ef50-53e4-5d65d8c21061"><span style="font-size: 11pt; background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">The I&E resources in the Business College are not readily available to students of all departments.</span></span></li><br /> <li><span id="docs-internal-guid-7e9de390-543e-ef50-53e4-5d65d8c21061"><span style="font-size: 11pt; background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Create a more inclusive environment where students can collaborate and share ideas.</span></span></li><br /> <li><span id="docs-internal-guid-7e9de390-543e-ef50-53e4-5d65d8c21061"><span style="font-size: 11pt; background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Lack of events, idea pitches, or competitions that encourage students to pursue individual exploration and experimentation with the design thinking process.</span></span></li><br /> <li><span id="docs-internal-guid-7e9de390-543e-ef50-53e4-5d65d8c21061"><span style="font-size: 11pt; background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Lack of campus support around increasing awareness and familiarity with innovation and design thinking.</span></span></li><br /> </ul><br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> == <span style="font-size:x-large;">Strategy One: Collaboration Space [12 months]</span> ==<br /> <br /> <span id="docs-internal-guid-7e9de390-543e-ef50-53e4-5d65d8c21061"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">In order to promote a collaborative environment where students feel comfortable sharing their ideas and giving feedback, we would like to pursue reinventing a current space to make it collaboration-focused. This can take a variety of formats. Incorporating technology, providing prototyping materials, and utilizing previously unused space would be some easy ways to create a collaboration space within the Honors College. Our hope is that students will make this a common place to work on projects and hold meaningful discussion. Because there are many underused spaces within this building, we feel like it has the potential to become a great working environment that can foster change within our community.</span></span><br /> <br /> <span id="docs-internal-guid-7e9de390-543e-ef50-53e4-5d65d8c21061">&nbsp;</span><br /> <br /> == <span style="font-size:x-large;">Strategy Two: Business and Entrepreneurship Collaboration [24 months]</span> ==<br /> <br /> <span id="docs-internal-guid-7e9de390-543e-ef50-53e4-5d65d8c21061"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">GVSU has a new major as of 2017, the entrepreneurship major. This major is in the business college and therefore, like all business majors a Grand Valley, requires the business capstone class. In addition, all senior engineering students are assigned a two semester senior project immediately before they graduate. We believe that for some of the senior projects it would be beneficial to assign them a entrepreneurship/business major to write business plans, run finances, etc to determine if the design project would make a viable business.</span></span><br /> <br /> <span id="docs-internal-guid-7e9de390-543e-ef50-53e4-5d65d8c21061"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">This would not only encourage collaboration between colleges but would also give students a sense of how products are designed in the real world. This would also introduce business concepts to the engineering students and technology to the business students.</span></span><br /> <br /> <span id="docs-internal-guid-7e9de390-543e-ef50-53e4-5d65d8c21061"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">If we see success in this program, possibly utilizing a style similar to the Purdue EPICS program, it can be expanded to include other colleges and majors.</span></span><br /> <br /> <span id="docs-internal-guid-7e9de390-543e-ef50-53e4-5d65d8c21061">&nbsp;</span><br /> <br /> == <span style="font-size:x-large;">Strategy Three: EDU Share Night (8-20 Weeks]</span> ==<br /> <br /> <span id="docs-internal-guid-7e9de390-543e-ef50-53e4-5d65d8c21061"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">There are eight separate colleges at GVSU, and there is very little collaboration between them. In hopes of gathering people from all majors and fields, we believe it would be a good idea to create an open event that crosses the traditional boundaries in pursuit of innovation.</span></span><br /> <br /> <span id="docs-internal-guid-7e9de390-543e-ef50-53e4-5d65d8c21061"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">EDU Share Night focuses on open access for all students. It provides a space and audience in which students, faculty, and staff can share their interests and passions. The event would focus on presentations. Whether fully formed, such as a formal paper, artistic piece, or speech, or only beginning, like a startup idea, novel concept, or scientific study hypothesis, all GVSU affiliates would be welcome to share, receive feedback, and connect with experts in their study area. All of the colleges at Grand Valley specialize in a particular field, which would be helpful in creating a diverse group of people with whom a student could brainstorm with or get help on a project with.</span></span><br /> <br /> <span id="docs-internal-guid-7e9de390-543e-ef50-53e4-5d65d8c21061"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">The biggest limitations of this idea are interest, and sustainment. Promotion would need to occur to gather student interest at each of the colleges. Due to the lack of visibility in the honors college, it would be essential to promote effectively. A poor turnout for the first event would discourage attendees from returning should it be held again. Secondly, sustainment of the collaborative process after the event will be difficult. We are still developing a safe, useful option for event participants to stay in contact, stay involved, and continue to pursue their passions after the EDU Share Night.</span></span><br /> <br /> <span id="docs-internal-guid-7e9de390-543e-ef50-53e4-5d65d8c21061">&nbsp;</span><br /> <br /> == <span style="font-size:x-large;">Strategy Four: “Help Wanted” Communication Board [6-9 months]</span> ==<br /> <br /> <span id="docs-internal-guid-7e9de390-543e-ef50-53e4-5d65d8c21061"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">While GVSU is home to many students who are working on interesting projects and developing new ideas, there is not a dedicated space for sharing takeaways from projects, or recruiting help from people with similar interests. To solve this problem, we would like to create a communication hub in Grand Valley’s Honors College. Similar to a ‘help wanted’ section in a newspaper, this hub would be a place for students to share about their current endeavors, and will act as a source of inspiration and connection for students across campus. We would like to have a physical hub for the board so it has a presence on campus, as well as a digital component so people could access the board from any location. The board would not only offer a space to ask for help, but would also allow for comments, allowing users to connect different ideas, ask questions, and provide overall advice and feedback.</span></span><br /> <br /> <br /> == <span style="font-size:x-large;">Strategy Five: Freshmen Check-In [8 months]</span> ==<br /> <br /> <span id="docs-internal-guid-7e9de390-543e-ef50-53e4-5d65d8c21061"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Within the Honors Living and Learning Center, it can be very difficult for freshmen students to get connected to others and the community. By holding an event the night before winter semester classes, freshmen would have a chance to make more connections with each other in a more relaxed setting. After having a semester under their belts, they would be more comfortable and have more in common with the people in their buildings. There is a potential to have food, icebreakers, and games to give freshmen incentive to come.

Additionally, there are many opportunities to pitch business plans and look for funding. That being said, there are limited opportunities at Grand Valley to be introduced to design thinking outside of the classroom. There aren’t safe spaces to play around with new ideas, collaborate without pressure, or connect with people in different areas of study. The GVSU Honors College is bursting with potential. We hope to introduce better methods to inspire young, innovative Grand Valley students, across disciplines, to adopt an entrepreneurial mindset, and make innovation a key aspect of campus culture. Afterwards, we want to develop a communication pipeline so that good ideas can be nurtured, grown, and developed through collaboration.</span></span><br /> <br /> = <span style="font-size:xx-large;">Opportunity Focus</span> =<br /> <ul style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><br /> <li><span id="docs-internal-guid-7e9de390-543e-ef50-53e4-5d65d8c21061"><span style="font-size: 11pt; background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Few opportunities for students to experience the design process outside of coursework.</span></span></li><br /> <li><span id="docs-internal-guid-7e9de390-543e-ef50-53e4-5d65d8c21061"><span style="font-size: 11pt; background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">The I&E resources in the Business College are not readily available to students of all departments.</span></span></li><br /> <li><span id="docs-internal-guid-7e9de390-543e-ef50-53e4-5d65d8c21061"><span style="font-size: 11pt; background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Create a more inclusive environment where students can collaborate and share ideas.</span></span></li><br /> <li><span id="docs-internal-guid-7e9de390-543e-ef50-53e4-5d65d8c21061"><span style="font-size: 11pt; background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Lack of events, idea pitches, or competitions that encourage students to pursue individual exploration and experimentation with the design thinking process.</span></span></li><br /> <li><span id="docs-internal-guid-7e9de390-543e-ef50-53e4-5d65d8c21061"><span style="font-size: 11pt; background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Lack of campus support around increasing awareness and familiarity with innovation and design thinking.</span></span></li><br /> </ul><br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> == <span style="font-size:x-large;">Strategy One: Collaboration Space [12 months]</span> ==<br /> <br /> <span id="docs-internal-guid-7e9de390-543e-ef50-53e4-5d65d8c21061"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">In order to promote a collaborative environment where students feel comfortable sharing their ideas and giving feedback, we would like to pursue reinventing a current space to make it collaboration-focused. This can take a variety of formats. Incorporating technology, providing prototyping materials, and utilizing previously unused space would be some easy ways to create a collaboration space within the Honors College. Our hope is that students will make this a common place to work on projects and hold meaningful discussion. Because there are many underused spaces within this building, we feel like it has the potential to become a great working environment that can foster change within our community.</span></span><br /> <br /> <span id="docs-internal-guid-7e9de390-543e-ef50-53e4-5d65d8c21061">&nbsp;</span><br /> <br /> == <span style="font-size:x-large;">Strategy Two: Business and Entrepreneurship Collaboration [24 months]</span> ==<br /> <br /> <span id="docs-internal-guid-7e9de390-543e-ef50-53e4-5d65d8c21061"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">GVSU has a new major as of 2017, the entrepreneurship major. This major is in the business college and therefore, like all business majors a Grand Valley, requires the business capstone class. In addition, all senior engineering students are assigned a two semester senior project immediately before they graduate. We believe that for some of the senior projects it would be beneficial to assign them a entrepreneurship/business major to write business plans, run finances, etc to determine if the design project would make a viable business.</span></span><br /> <br /> <span id="docs-internal-guid-7e9de390-543e-ef50-53e4-5d65d8c21061"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">This would not only encourage collaboration between colleges but would also give students a sense of how products are designed in the real world. This would also introduce business concepts to the engineering students and technology to the business students.</span></span><br /> <br /> <span id="docs-internal-guid-7e9de390-543e-ef50-53e4-5d65d8c21061"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">If we see success in this program, possibly utilizing a style similar to the Purdue EPICS program, it can be expanded to include other colleges and majors.</span></span><br /> <br /> <span id="docs-internal-guid-7e9de390-543e-ef50-53e4-5d65d8c21061">&nbsp;</span><br /> <br /> == <span style="font-size:x-large;">Strategy Three: EDU Share Night (8-20 Weeks]</span> ==<br /> <br /> <span id="docs-internal-guid-7e9de390-543e-ef50-53e4-5d65d8c21061"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">There are eight separate colleges at GVSU, and there is very little collaboration between them. In hopes of gathering people from all majors and fields, we believe it would be a good idea to create an open event that crosses the traditional boundaries in pursuit of innovation.</span></span><br /> <br /> <span id="docs-internal-guid-7e9de390-543e-ef50-53e4-5d65d8c21061"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">EDU Share Night focuses on open access for all students. It provides a space and audience in which students, faculty, and staff can share their interests and passions. The event would focus on presentations. Whether fully formed, such as a formal paper, artistic piece, or speech, or only beginning, like a startup idea, novel concept, or scientific study hypothesis, all GVSU affiliates would be welcome to share, receive feedback, and connect with experts in their study area. All of the colleges at Grand Valley specialize in a particular field, which would be helpful in creating a diverse group of people with whom a student could brainstorm with or get help on a project with.</span></span><br /> <br /> <span id="docs-internal-guid-7e9de390-543e-ef50-53e4-5d65d8c21061"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">The biggest limitations of this idea are interest, and sustainment. Promotion would need to occur to gather student interest at each of the colleges. Due to the lack of visibility in the honors college, it would be essential to promote effectively. A poor turnout for the first event would discourage attendees from returning should it be held again. Secondly, sustainment of the collaborative process after the event will be difficult. We are still developing a safe, useful option for event participants to stay in contact, stay involved, and continue to pursue their passions after the EDU Share Night.</span></span><br /> <br /> <span id="docs-internal-guid-7e9de390-543e-ef50-53e4-5d65d8c21061">&nbsp;</span><br /> <br /> == <span style="font-size:x-large;">Strategy Four: “Help Wanted” Communication Board [6-9 months]</span> ==<br /> <br /> <span id="docs-internal-guid-7e9de390-543e-ef50-53e4-5d65d8c21061"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">While GVSU is home to many students who are working on interesting projects and developing new ideas, there is not a dedicated space for sharing takeaways from projects, or recruiting help from people with similar interests. To solve this problem, we would like to create a communication hub in Grand Valley’s Honors College. Similar to a ‘help wanted’ section in a newspaper, this hub would be a place for students to share about their current endeavors, and will act as a source of inspiration and connection for students across campus. We would like to have a physical hub for the board so it has a presence on campus, as well as a digital component so people could access the board from any location. The board would not only offer a space to ask for help, but would also allow for comments, allowing users to connect different ideas, ask questions, and provide overall advice and feedback.</span></span><br /> <br /> <br /> == <span style="font-size:x-large;">Strategy Five: Freshmen Check-In [8 months]</span> ==<br /> <br /> <span id="docs-internal-guid-7e9de390-543e-ef50-53e4-5d65d8c21061"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Within the Honors Living and Learning Center, it can be very difficult for freshmen students to get connected to others and the community. By holding an event the night before winter semester classes, freshmen would have a chance to make more connections with each other in a more relaxed setting. After having a semester under their belts, they would be more comfortable and have more in common with the people in their buildings. There is a potential to have food, icebreakers, and games to give freshmen incentive to come.

Additionally, there are many opportunities to pitch business plans and look for funding. That being said, there are limited opportunities at Grand Valley to be introduced to design thinking outside of the classroom. There aren’t safe spaces to play around with new ideas, collaborate without pressure, or connect with people in different areas of study. The GVSU Honors College is bursting with potential. We hope to introduce better methods to inspire young, innovative Grand Valley students, across disciplines, to adopt an entrepreneurial mindset, and make innovation a key aspect of campus culture. Afterwards, we want to develop a communication pipeline so that good ideas can be nurtured, grown, and developed through collaboration.</span></span><br /> <br /> = <span style="font-size:xx-large;">Opportunity Focus</span> =<br /> <ul style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><br /> <li><span id="docs-internal-guid-7e9de390-543e-ef50-53e4-5d65d8c21061"><span style="font-size: 11pt; background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Few opportunities for students to experience the design process outside of coursework.</span></span></li><br /> <li><span id="docs-internal-guid-7e9de390-543e-ef50-53e4-5d65d8c21061"><span style="font-size: 11pt; background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">The I&E resources in the Business College are not readily available to students of all departments.</span></span></li><br /> <li><span id="docs-internal-guid-7e9de390-543e-ef50-53e4-5d65d8c21061"><span style="font-size: 11pt; background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Create a more inclusive environment where students can collaborate and share ideas.</span></span></li><br /> <li><span id="docs-internal-guid-7e9de390-543e-ef50-53e4-5d65d8c21061"><span style="font-size: 11pt; background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Lack of events, idea pitches, or competitions that encourage students to pursue individual exploration and experimentation with the design thinking process.</span></span></li><br /> <li><span id="docs-internal-guid-7e9de390-543e-ef50-53e4-5d65d8c21061"><span style="font-size: 11pt; background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Lack of campus support around increasing awareness and familiarity with innovation and design thinking.</span></span></li><br /> </ul><br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> == <span style="font-size:x-large;">Strategy One: Collaboration Space [12 months]</span> ==<br /> <br /> <span id="docs-internal-guid-7e9de390-543e-ef50-53e4-5d65d8c21061"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">In order to promote a collaborative environment where students feel comfortable sharing their ideas and giving feedback, we would like to pursue reinventing a current space to make it collaboration-focused. This can take a variety of formats. Incorporating technology, providing prototyping materials, and utilizing previously unused space would be some easy ways to create a collaboration space within the Honors College. Our hope is that students will make this a common place to work on projects and hold meaningful discussion. Because there are many underused spaces within this building, we feel like it has the potential to become a great working environment that can foster change within our community.</span></span><br /> <br /> <span id="docs-internal-guid-7e9de390-543e-ef50-53e4-5d65d8c21061">&nbsp;</span><br /> <br /> == <span style="font-size:x-large;">Strategy Two: Business and Entrepreneurship Collaboration [24 months]</span> ==<br /> <br /> <span id="docs-internal-guid-7e9de390-543e-ef50-53e4-5d65d8c21061"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">GVSU has a new major as of 2017, the entrepreneurship major. This major is in the business college and therefore, like all business majors a Grand Valley, requires the business capstone class. In addition, all senior engineering students are assigned a two semester senior project immediately before they graduate. We believe that for some of the senior projects it would be beneficial to assign them a entrepreneurship/business major to write business plans, run finances, etc to determine if the design project would make a viable business.</span></span><br /> <br /> <span id="docs-internal-guid-7e9de390-543e-ef50-53e4-5d65d8c21061"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">This would not only encourage collaboration between colleges but would also give students a sense of how products are designed in the real world. This would also introduce business concepts to the engineering students and technology to the business students.</span></span><br /> <br /> <span id="docs-internal-guid-7e9de390-543e-ef50-53e4-5d65d8c21061"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">If we see success in this program, possibly utilizing a style similar to the Purdue EPICS program, it can be expanded to include other colleges and majors.</span></span><br /> <br /> <span id="docs-internal-guid-7e9de390-543e-ef50-53e4-5d65d8c21061">&nbsp;</span><br /> <br /> == <span style="font-size:x-large;">Strategy Three: EDU Share Night (8-20 Weeks]</span> ==<br /> <br /> <span id="docs-internal-guid-7e9de390-543e-ef50-53e4-5d65d8c21061"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">There are eight separate colleges at GVSU, and there is very little collaboration between them. In hopes of gathering people from all majors and fields, we believe it would be a good idea to create an open event that crosses the traditional boundaries in pursuit of innovation.</span></span><br /> <br /> <span id="docs-internal-guid-7e9de390-543e-ef50-53e4-5d65d8c21061"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">EDU Share Night focuses on open access for all students. It provides a space and audience in which students, faculty, and staff can share their interests and passions. The event would focus on presentations. Whether fully formed, such as a formal paper, artistic piece, or speech, or only beginning, like a startup idea, novel concept, or scientific study hypothesis, all GVSU affiliates would be welcome to share, receive feedback, and connect with experts in their study area. All of the colleges at Grand Valley specialize in a particular field, which would be helpful in creating a diverse group of people with whom a student could brainstorm with or get help on a project with.</span></span><br /> <br /> <span id="docs-internal-guid-7e9de390-543e-ef50-53e4-5d65d8c21061"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">The biggest limitations of this idea are interest, and sustainment. Promotion would need to occur to gather student interest at each of the colleges. Due to the lack of visibility in the honors college, it would be essential to promote effectively. A poor turnout for the first event would discourage attendees from returning should it be held again. Secondly, sustainment of the collaborative process after the event will be difficult. We are still developing a safe, useful option for event participants to stay in contact, stay involved, and continue to pursue their passions after the EDU Share Night.</span></span><br /> <br /> <span id="docs-internal-guid-7e9de390-543e-ef50-53e4-5d65d8c21061">&nbsp;</span><br /> <br /> == <span style="font-size:x-large;">Strategy Four: “Help Wanted” Communication Board [6-9 months]</span> ==<br /> <br /> <span id="docs-internal-guid-7e9de390-543e-ef50-53e4-5d65d8c21061"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">While GVSU is home to many students who are working on interesting projects and developing new ideas, there is not a dedicated space for sharing takeaways from projects, or recruiting help from people with similar interests. To solve this problem, we would like to create a communication hub in Grand Valley’s Honors College. Similar to a ‘help wanted’ section in a newspaper, this hub would be a place for students to share about their current endeavors, and will act as a source of inspiration and connection for students across campus. We would like to have a physical hub for the board so it has a presence on campus, as well as a digital component so people could access the board from any location. The board would not only offer a space to ask for help, but would also allow for comments, allowing users to connect different ideas, ask questions, and provide overall advice and feedback.</span></span><br /> <br /> <br /> == <span style="font-size:x-large;">Strategy Five: Freshmen Check-In [8 months]</span> ==<br /> <br /> <span id="docs-internal-guid-7e9de390-543e-ef50-53e4-5d65d8c21061"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Within the Honors Living and Learning Center, it can be very difficult for freshmen students to get connected to others and the community. By holding an event the night before winter semester classes, freshmen would have a chance to make more connections with each other in a more relaxed setting. After having a semester under their belts, they would be more comfortable and have more in common with the people in their buildings. There is a potential to have food, icebreakers, and games to give freshmen incentive to come. We would also ask them to fill out a questionnaire; questions may include what they are enjoying about their classes, what they want to improve, and what they are already involved in on campus. This questionnaire would hopefully give us a better understanding of how to improve the freshman experience.</span></span><br /> <br /> <span id="docs-internal-guid-7e9de390-543e-ef50-53e4-5d65d8c21061">&nbsp;</span>&nbsp;<br /> <br /> == <span style="font-size:x-large;">Strategy Six: Sequence Collaboration</span> ==<br /> <br /> <span id="docs-internal-guid-7e9de390-543e-ef50-53e4-5d65d8c21061"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">As stated before there are many opportunities within the Grand Valley community especially within the Honors Program. &nbsp;But where it make up in opportunities there is also a disconnect between many of the students. &nbsp;As many of them do not know the people around them and just live in their own world. &nbsp;This is where the Sequence Collaboration or Syncquence would come into play. &nbsp;In the program there are a select few classes named sequences which are usually taken during the freshman year. &nbsp;The idea of this project would be to pair up the sequences having them compete over the span of a week working to solve a given problem that is assigned at the beginning. &nbsp;The goal for this project would be to have students get to know each other and make connections while they are learning about the innovation process as they work to solve the problem assigned. &nbsp;At the end of the project we would host a large event where the students would select some group members to present their project to their fellow classmates and a few judges who would hand out prizes to the top three competitors. &nbsp;Hopefully in the end it would be able to fulfill the desired goals that were stated before and with the feedback that has been received so far about the program it looks like completing the goals will not be an issue. &nbsp;</span></span><br /> <br /> <span id="docs-internal-guid-7e9de390-543e-ef50-53e4-5d65d8c21061">&nbsp;</span><br /> <br /> == <span style="font-size:x-large;">Completed Projects</span> ==<br /> <br /> <span id="docs-internal-guid-7e9de390-543e-ef50-53e4-5d65d8c21061"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">TEDxGVSU</span></span><br /> <br /> <span id="docs-internal-guid-7e9de390-543e-ef50-53e4-5d65d8c21061"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">On February 24, 2017, GVSU hosted their first TEDx event themed “</span><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">The Blueprints between X and Why.” A limited amount of tickets were available for purchase, with the event also being live-streamed in the library.

We believe that for some of the senior projects it would be beneficial to assign them a entrepreneurship/business major to write business plans, run finances, etc to determine if the design project would make a viable business.</span></span><br /> <br /> <span id="docs-internal-guid-7e9de390-543e-ef50-53e4-5d65d8c21061"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">This would not only encourage collaboration between colleges but would also give students a sense of how products are designed in the real world. This would also introduce business concepts to the engineering students and technology to the business students.</span></span><br /> <br /> <span id="docs-internal-guid-7e9de390-543e-ef50-53e4-5d65d8c21061"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">If we see success in this program, possibly utilizing a style similar to the Purdue EPICS program, it can be expanded to include other colleges and majors.</span></span><br /> <br /> <span id="docs-internal-guid-7e9de390-543e-ef50-53e4-5d65d8c21061">&nbsp;</span><br /> <br /> == <span style="font-size:x-large;">Strategy Three: EDU Share Night (8-20 Weeks]</span> ==<br /> <br /> <span id="docs-internal-guid-7e9de390-543e-ef50-53e4-5d65d8c21061"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">There are eight separate colleges at GVSU, and there is very little collaboration between them. In hopes of gathering people from all majors and fields, we believe it would be a good idea to create an open event that crosses the traditional boundaries in pursuit of innovation.</span></span><br /> <br /> <span id="docs-internal-guid-7e9de390-543e-ef50-53e4-5d65d8c21061"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">EDU Share Night focuses on open access for all students. It provides a space and audience in which students, faculty, and staff can share their interests and passions. The event would focus on presentations. Whether fully formed, such as a formal paper, artistic piece, or speech, or only beginning, like a startup idea, novel concept, or scientific study hypothesis, all GVSU affiliates would be welcome to share, receive feedback, and connect with experts in their study area. All of the colleges at Grand Valley specialize in a particular field, which would be helpful in creating a diverse group of people with whom a student could brainstorm with or get help on a project with.</span></span><br /> <br /> <span id="docs-internal-guid-7e9de390-543e-ef50-53e4-5d65d8c21061"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">The biggest limitations of this idea are interest, and sustainment. Promotion would need to occur to gather student interest at each of the colleges. Due to the lack of visibility in the honors college, it would be essential to promote effectively. A poor turnout for the first event would discourage attendees from returning should it be held again. Secondly, sustainment of the collaborative process after the event will be difficult. We are still developing a safe, useful option for event participants to stay in contact, stay involved, and continue to pursue their passions after the EDU Share Night.</span></span><br /> <br /> <span id="docs-internal-guid-7e9de390-543e-ef50-53e4-5d65d8c21061">[http://universityinnovation.org/wiki/File:Prototype.jpeg <span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(17, 85, 204); background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; text-decoration-line: underline; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">http://universityinnovation.org/wiki/File:Prototype.jpeg</span>]</span><br /> <br /> <span id="docs-internal-guid-7e9de390-543e-ef50-53e4-5d65d8c21061">&nbsp;</span><br /> <br /> == <span style="font-size:x-large;">Strategy Four: “Help Wanted” Communication Board [6-9 months]</span> ==<br /> <br /> <span id="docs-internal-guid-7e9de390-543e-ef50-53e4-5d65d8c21061"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">While GVSU is home to many students who are working on interesting projects and developing new ideas, there is not a dedicated space for sharing takeaways from projects, or recruiting help from people with similar interests. To solve this problem, we would like to create a communication hub in Grand Valley’s Honors College. Similar to a ‘help wanted’ section in a newspaper, this hub would be a place for students to share about their current endeavors, and will act as a source of inspiration and connection for students across campus. We would like to have a physical hub for the board so it has a presence on campus, as well as a digital component so people could access the board from any location. The board would not only offer a space to ask for help, but would also allow for comments, allowing users to connect different ideas, ask questions, and provide overall advice and feedback.</span></span><br /> <br /> <br /> == <span style="font-size:x-large;">Strategy Five: Freshmen Check-In [8 months]</span> ==<br /> <br /> <span id="docs-internal-guid-7e9de390-543e-ef50-53e4-5d65d8c21061"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Within the Honors Living and Learning Center, it can be very difficult for freshmen students to get connected to others and the community. By holding an event the night before winter semester classes, freshmen would have a chance to make more connections with each other in a more relaxed setting. After having a semester under their belts, they would be more comfortable and have more in common with the people in their buildings. There is a potential to have food, icebreakers, and games to give freshmen incentive to come. We would also ask them to fill out a questionnaire; questions may include what they are enjoying about their classes, what they want to improve, and what they are already involved in on campus. This questionnaire would hopefully give us a better understanding of how to improve the freshman experience.</span></span><br /> <br /> <span id="docs-internal-guid-7e9de390-543e-ef50-53e4-5d65d8c21061">&nbsp;</span>&nbsp;<br /> <br /> == <span style="font-size:x-large;">Strategy Six: Sequence Collaboration</span> ==<br /> <br /> <span id="docs-internal-guid-7e9de390-543e-ef50-53e4-5d65d8c21061"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">As stated before there are many opportunities within the Grand Valley community especially within the Honors Program. &nbsp;But where it make up in opportunities there is also a disconnect between many of the students. &nbsp;As many of them do not know the people around them and just live in their own world. &nbsp;This is where the Sequence Collaboration or Syncquence would come into play. &nbsp;In the program there are a select few classes named sequences which are usually taken during the freshman year. &nbsp;The idea of this project would be to pair up the sequences having them compete over the span of a week working to solve a given problem that is assigned at the beginning. &nbsp;The goal for this project would be to have students get to know each other and make connections while they are learning about the innovation process as they work to solve the problem assigned. &nbsp;At the end of the project we would host a large event where the students would select some group members to present their project to their fellow classmates and a few judges who would hand out prizes to the top three competitors. &nbsp;Hopefully in the end it would be able to fulfill the desired goals that were stated before and with the feedback that has been received so far about the program it looks like completing the goals will not be an issue. &nbsp;</span></span><br /> <br /> <span id="docs-internal-guid-7e9de390-543e-ef50-53e4-5d65d8c21061">&nbsp;</span><br /> <br /> == <span style="font-size:x-large;">Completed Projects</span> ==<br /> <br /> <span id="docs-internal-guid-7e9de390-543e-ef50-53e4-5d65d8c21061"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">TEDxGVSU</span></span><br /> <br /> <span id="docs-internal-guid-7e9de390-543e-ef50-53e4-5d65d8c21061"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">On February 24, 2017, GVSU hosted their first TEDx event themed “</span><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">The Blueprints between X and Why.” A limited amount of tickets were available for purchase, with the event also being live-streamed in the library.

The university is located west of Grand Rapids, Michigan. and offers classes at a second campus in downtown Grand Rapids--GVSU's Pew Campus. The Pew Campus houses programs in Engineering, Education, Nursing, and Business. A third campus is in Holland, Michigan, and centers are located in Traverse City, Detroit, and Muskegon.<br /> <br /> Currently, in 2018, there are 25,049 students, with 21,937 of them being undergraduated and the other 3,112 students being graduate students. There are ninety undergraduate programs and 38 graduate programs. Grand Valley also offers over 400 student-led clubs and organizations.<br /> <br /> Thomas J. Haas, affectionately known as T. Hass, has been serving as president of the university since 2006.&nbsp;<br /> <br /> Within GVSU, the Fredrick Meijer Honors College is housed. In Fall 2017, there was an all-time high total enrollment of 1,700 students, 420 of them being freshmen. A multitude of majors are represented within the Honors College. The focus on the Honors College curriculum is an alternate education that focuses on integration of topics and perspectives, utilizing the resources surrounding the GVSU community.<br /> <br /> There has been a movement through the past several years to improve the innovation and entrepreneurship landscape on GVSU main campuses. This recent push has gained the momentum of numerous courses, clubs, workshops, competitions and other programs involving innovation and entrepreneurship. The infrastructure is slowly growing to empower a greater number of students with the skills and mindset of an entrepreneur and innovator. With a continued focus on liberal arts, Grand Valley has been working on integrating subjects to allow for students to receive a more well-rounded education.<br /> <br /> == Campus Overview ==<br /> <br /> '''Promoting Student Innovation and Entrepreneurship'''<br /> <br /> As of 2018, GVSU has three non I&E departments utilizing Innovation and Entrepreneurship in their courses: Brooks College of Interdisciplinary Studies, Marketing, and the Honors College. Students can also use the following resources to support their learning through I&E:<br /> <br /> *Hack Your Campus<br /> *TedxGVSU<br /> *Sustainable Agriculture Project (SAP)<br /> *Honors College Lecture Series<br /> *Learn How to Pitch<br /> *“Seven Principles of Entrepreneurship<br /> *Start Garden<br /> <br /> &nbsp;<br /> <br /> '''Encouraging Faculty Innovation and Entrepreneurship'''<br /> <br /> At Grand Valley, faculty are highly encouraged to pursue research. Many faculty allow students to collaborate on their research, which creates many research opportunities at and within Grand Valley. If faculty are pursing research, their course load will be limited to three total courses per semester.<br /> <br /> &nbsp;<br /> <br /> '''Facilitating University-Industry Collaboration'''<br /> <br /> Within GVSU and the surrounding community, many programs and partnerships have become available to promote a continued use of I&E outside of the classroom. These programs include:<br /> <br /> ·&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; GR Makers<br /> <br /> ·&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Grand Angels<br /> <br /> ·&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Blackford Capital<br /> <br /> ·&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Grand Rapids Inventors Network<br /> <br /> ·&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Start Garden/Varnum Consulting<br /> <br /> ·&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; GR Current<br /> <br /> &nbsp;<br /> <br /> '''Engaging with Regional and Local Economic Development Efforts'''<br /> <br /> With its prime location at the heart of West Michigan, Grand Valley works with the Van Andel Global Trade Institute and the West Michigan Science and Technology Initiative through both Grand Rapids and Muskegon SmartZone to promote local economic development. Grand Valley also supports a number of charter schools throughout the state of Michigan.&nbsp;<br /> <br /> == <span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px">Entrepreneurship and Innovation</span> ==<br /> <br /> <span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px">Not only does Grand Valley State University support its students in innovation and entrepreneurship, both in and outside the classroom, but the Grand Rapids community also supports it.

<p>Filterm: </p> <hr /> <div>'''Uncharted, formerly known as the Unreasonable Institute, is a coordinated effort of over 2,000 people from 24 different countries working to solve specific problems and create a lasting impact. They do this through creating a network of talented entrepreneurs, investors, mentors, and partners who share a common vision of innovation. Their purpose is "to unite and resource the people most likely to put a dent in our biggest problems.” They aim to achieve this by recruiting globally and sponsor teams through a crowdfunding platform. This allows individuals from various socioeconomic backgrounds to connect and get involved. Bridging this socioeconomic gap allows the organization to recruit many brilliant and diverse minds together to tackle difficult problems.

<p>Filterm: </p> <hr /> <div>'''Uncharted, formerly known as the Unreasonable Institute, is a coordinated effort of over 2,000 people from 24 different countries working to solve specific problems and create a lasting impact. They do this through creating a network of talented entrepreneurs, investors, mentors, and partners who share a common vision of innovation. Their purpose is "to unite and resource the people most likely to put a dent in our biggest problems.” They aim to achieve this by recruiting globally and sponsor teams through a crowdfunding platform. This allows individuals from various socioeconomic backgrounds to connect and get involved. Bridging this socioeconomic gap allows the organization to recruit many brilliant and diverse minds together to tackle difficult problems. They currently have had teams representing 37 countries and have opened their institute in Mexico (Aguascalientes, Mexico) and East Africa (Kampala, Uganda)'''<br /> <br /> <span id="docs-internal-guid-077bfee1-e263-c4a3-c17f-77bf408fbfe3"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-weight: 700; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">History</span></span><br /> <br /> <span id="docs-internal-guid-077bfee1-e263-c4a3-c17f-77bf408fbfe3"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Uncharted was co-founded in Boulder, Colorado by Teju Ravilochan, Tyler Hartung, and Daniel Epstein, with additional help from Nikhil Dandavati and Vladimir Dubovskiy in January 2009. By May of 2010, Uncharted had run its first global institute, which included contributions from 15 countries. The organization continued to grow and by May 2015 the company created a new financial plan switching from a revenue sharing model to a sustainable and scalable revenue model. In June of 2016 Uncharted ran their first issue specific program the “Early Childhood Accelerator” through a partnership with Gary Community Investments. In 2017 they created, and ran the Future Cities Accelerator. This is a program designed to fastrack solutions to aid impoverished people in US cities. They are also currently working on a “Food Access Program” &nbsp;in Denver, Colorado to provide healthy food to low-income communities.

She is also involved in Campus Ministry, serving on the Serve Global Team where she plans events to raise money for global non-profits. This included bringing Key of Hope Children's Choir from Durban, South Africa to preform at Grand Valley. Meredith works at the Art Galleries on campus as well, which allows her to connect art to her current studies. This May, Meredith will be spending a month in Tanzania, teaching, going on safaris, and learning about Tanzanian culture. She is excited to learn more about pedagogy and anthropology through this exciting adventure.&nbsp;<br /> <br /> Wonderful opportunities have been presented to Meredith that have helped contribute to who she is now. These opportunities included being a part of the First Annual LeaderShape Institute at Grand Valley, serving on a mission trip in San Diego, California, and exploring the relationship between foster care and food through Design Thinking.<br /> <br /> Meredith hopes to bring more awareness and action to the current issues facing education. One of her biggest passions is equal access and cultural competence in the classroom.
