&lt;div&gt;My name is Dylan Frost and I’m a 2019 University Innovation Fellow. I’m currently a Senior at Colorado State University and am majoring in Product Development with a Business Administration Minor. I’m a right brain thinker who learns hands on and likes to find creative new ways to solve problems. Some of my passions and hobbies include, ceramics, sports, music, art, photography and traveling. Finally, some of my proudest achievements I’ve earned are winning first place in the 2016 Denver Art Show for my negative space ceramic tea pot, being awarded the first team Academic ALL STATE Athletic Award in 2016 and being awarded by CBS their Channel 7 News Every Day Hero Community Service Award for the turkey bowl I host every year and lastly making Honor roll my last three years at CSU.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;= &amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size:x-large;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Promoting student innovation and entrepreneurship&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt; =&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size:small;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;One goal that every university has is to guide students to become innovators and entrepreneurs. At Colorado State University (CSU), courses, clubs, workshops, facilities, etc. are available for students to participate in to expand their skills. Not only are these programs benefiting the students, but also the university as whole. Students take what they learn in these programs then apply it to different classes or new clubs they are involved in. Some courses that are offered at CSU that lead students in discovering the start the process of entrepreneurship are; a&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-family: helv, Arial;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Minor in Entrepreneurship and Innovation,&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-family: Arial; white-space: pre-wrap;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;ESOL – Advanced 3 Academic English Listening &amp;amp; Speaking and &amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-family: Arial;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;BMS 200 Concepts in Human Anatomy and Physiology.&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;amp;nbsp;In addition to these learning courses, there are experimental courses that go more in depth and allow for students to do hands on learning. Examples include, COM 351 Field Management, LAND 449 Professional Practice, and a certificate in Design Thinking.&amp;amp;nbsp;The new Richardson Design Center is a multidisciplinary space, that allows students from a multitude of courses to work with the &amp;quot;Makers Spaces&amp;quot;.&amp;amp;nbsp;While some of these innovative courses are specific to majors and are located in certain colleges, there are several innovation spaces that are open to everyone. With these programs embedded into CSU's campus, it creates a knowledgable environment and opens the doors for many students.&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
= Encouraging faculty innovation and entrepreneurship =&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With thousands of students, it can be difficult for a single student to feel personally supported by the university and its faculty. However, CSU does an outstanding job aiding students by providing numerous outlets for student interaction with professors, advisors, and administration. Every department on campus has numerous staff members who are there to answer questions and support student education. Many students are provided the opportunity to work alongside faculty in various research scenarios or through different organized groups on campus. Faculty advisors are appointed to each club or society, allowing students to connect with them in environments other than a classroom. Professors are also encouraged to head their own research studies, while simultaneously teaching courses. It keeps them up-to-date with the latest information in technology and research. Also, many programs on campus advise students to seek education or internships abroad. CSU hopes that sending students overseas will increase their scope of the world and provide them with new ideas and ways of thinking. It is a great entrepreneurial tool that teaches independence and self-motivation, making students more successful. Faculty are involved throughout the entire process and they conduct extensive research on education programs around the world to ensure students at CSU are receiving the best education possible.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
= Actively supporting the university technology transfer function =&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There are numerous organizations and systems in place at this institution that aid students by providing information, funding, and support. When related to incubating or bootcamp type offerings, CSU has developed several different showcases that support and appreciate student work. One is the Graduate Student Showcase, and the other is the Celebrate Undergraduate Research and Creativity Showcase (CURC). Both offer opportunities for current students to display a variety of projects or assignments they have completed in school. These newer events provide a chance to have student work seen and critiqued by the campus community. For students seeking more than reviews for their work, there are several great funding systems at CSU. The Research Acceleration Office offers many outlets for students to apply for grants to conduct research projects. Students submit proposals that are reviewed by faculty and administration, and the proposals are deemed as worthy or unworthy ventures for the school. A less formal approach available to students is using RamFunder. It functions similarly to GoFundMe.com, in that anyone can request financial assistance for any academic-related research or project they wish to investigate further. Many students and faculty members donate to this site, allowing individuals to bring their ideas to fruition. As far as technology assistance at the institution is concerned, there are several departments where students can receive assistance and gather more information. Once they decide they have new and innovative concepts they wish to explore, a great place to visit is the Technology Transfer Office, which is under the umbrella of the campus Research Foundation. Here, the staff works to protect and manage the intellectual property of the university and its students. It also acts as a liaison with the community, connecting students to local businesses and opportunities that can further their innovative ideas or research. Another program that offers industry connections is the Office of Engagement; it works to connect different communities both on and off campus through different collaboration and leadership events. Built in to the curriculum of CSU are a number of innovative strategies that students can utilize without needing a proposal or idea. A great example of this is a course offered in grant writing. It is taught online and gives students the chance to gain a knowledge and understanding of what information and tools they need to create a grant for future endeavors they may pursue. On a larger scale, a minor is offered in legal studies, which benefits individuals wanting to understand the legality of entrepreneurship, such as business ownership, protecting intellectual property, and patents.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
= Facilitating university-industry collaboration =&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As it stands, Colorado State University’s Industry outreach efforts are thorough and diverse. CSU has relationships with many companies in many industries to allow students to keep up with the pulse in the business world. This symbiotic relationship allows students to learn from businesses and for businesses to benefit from the world of academia and student perspectives. For example, CSU and New Belgium Brewing have partnered to teach new brewery classes and the founder of Otterbox has donated over 8 million dollars for the new Richardson Design Center at Colorado State University. CSU also engages in various incubators and start-ups through the Colorado State University Research Foundation (CSURF) and Venture Validator through the College of Business. There are also collaborations with tech transfer offices, namely, Innosphere Incubation Program, CSU Ventures and Office of Sponsored Programs. Grant writing and legal assistance is provided through the Research Acceleration Office and CoWood Grant Writing Support. In addition, the Dean of the College of Business has an advisory board called the Global Leadership Council. This is a group of the best and brightest minds in business and related fields and they provide a vital link to real-world business. Furthermore, CSU has a list of employers that they partner with in order to improve the collaborative efforts of recruitment and iterations of the job itself.&amp;amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
= Engaging with regional and local economic development efforts =&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Colorado State University is well versed in creating opportunities for facilitating University-Industry collaboration. CSU collaborates with a variety of research centers, industrial parks and industry/mentor networks to help entrepreneurial ventures succeed. A wet lab space is provided by Innosphere Incubation Program, who is an official partner of CSU. The GetWET Observatory provides in-field learning experiences and reaches out to the wider community through means of K-12 education through CSU's Behavioral Sciences College. CSU's partnership with New Belgium Brewery has allowed its Fermentation Science major to flourish and those graduates are able to give back to the community by working in one of Fort Collins' 25 breweries. Entrepreneurial mentoring and advice is offered by Colorado State University Research Foundation (CSURF) through their program CSU Ventures. The Institute of Entrepreneurship is also an excellent resource for knowledge gathering and application in the real world.&amp;amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
= Strategic Priorities =&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2019 CSU Group:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Venture to Improve Residence Halls (Tracey Trickey): The majority of CSU's Residence Halls are old and very inaccessible to students with disabilities. This inaccessibility makes those students feel ostracized and unwelcome. All residence halls need to be retrofitted or designed with elevators and automated door openers so that differentially able students are not confined to the first floor. New buildings should be designed with not only ADA federal requirements, but Universal Design. Universal design is inclusive design that caters to ALL regardless of age, ability, sex, race or other. Stereotypes need to be challenged - not all disabled people need wheelchairs. Further education and awareness of differentially able students should be implemented so that all students can thrive.&amp;amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Upperclassman mentor/panel (RK Hancock IV): First year students will be given the opportunity to get in touch with upperclassman in their same department to build authentic relationships where the mentors can give relevant guidance about any topics, big or small, that the first years have.&amp;amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size:small;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Peer Mentorship Program (Trenton Beeh):&amp;lt;font face=&amp;quot;arial, helvetica, sans-serif&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;white-space: pre-wrap;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/font&amp;gt;&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-family: Arial; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;A big problem I have seen and heard is that there is a disconnection between class levels and students in the same major connecting with one another. School work is challenging, but there is an easier way to be successful. The idea I propose is to have an &amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-family: Arial; font-style: italic; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Upperclassmen/Peer Mentorship Program &amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-family: Arial; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;that focuses on quickly getting younger students to adapt to new semesters.&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Major Exploration Program: (Dylan Frost): I realized early on in my college career that thousands of students at CSU and frankly around the country don't know why they’re in college or what they want to do here. I want to create a major exploration program that analyzes the student and helps guides them into finding a major that best suits them.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2018 CSU Group:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Cross-Disciplinary Collaborative Makerspace (Annaliese Cole-Weiss): Physical Meeting Space Faculty Advisor Variety of Technology/Equipment Materials Art/Office Supplies Funding Course/Usage Fee Assessment Training Program Membership Program Support from CSU Student/Faculty Awareness&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;Session 3:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
During my research for the Landscape Canvas assignment I learned a lot about my university and the resources it offers. I learned about some new resources I didn’t know we had and also some room for improvement in other resource areas. One resource I found interesting that I didn’t know CSU offered was the TedxCSU talks. From the seminar on Communication and Marketing Manager to the Restorative Practices Coordinator/Educational Counselor Seminar TedxCSU talks offered a variety of intriguing topics. A resource I saw that needed some improvement on were the Experiential courses offered at CSU. I noticed that there were only a few departments who offered these courses and they were mainly only offered to upper classmen. The research I conducted on the Landscape project offered me insight that I can use moving forward throughout my time here during the Stanford Fellowship Program.&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

&lt;div&gt;During my research for the Landscape Canvas assignment I learned a lot about my university and the resources it offers. I learned about some new resources I didn’t know we had and also some room for improvement in other resource areas. One resource I found interesting that I didn’t know CSU offered was the TedxCSU talks. From the seminar on Communication and Marketing Manager to the Restorative Practices Coordinator/Educational Counselor Seminar TedxCSU talks offered a variety of intriguing topics. A resource I saw that needed some improvement on were the Experiential courses offered at CSU. I noticed that there were only a few departments who offered these courses and they were mainly only offered to upper classmen. The research I conducted on the Landscape project offered me insight that I can use moving forward throughout my time here during the Stanford Fellowship Program.&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

&lt;div&gt;NOTE: Always use WikiTextEditor (versus the RichTextEditor). It's A LOT easier for you and for us to edit your page.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
= Overview =&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Fellows must gauge their campus ecosystem based on five parameters as shown in the five sections below. To learn more about these five parameters visit this page: [http://universityinnovation.org/wiki/The_Innovative_and_Entrepreneurial_University http://universityinnovation.org/wiki/The_Innovative_and_Entrepreneurial_University]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
= Promoting student innovation and entrepreneurship =&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
''Colleges and universities are investing heavily in the development of their students’ entrepreneurial skills. While many students dream of starting the next Facebook® or Twitter® (both of which were started by students), universities are more focused on the pedagogical value of entrepreneurship as a set of skills that can be applied across professional environments and activities to supplement the students’ classroom experience. Universities are investing both in formal programs as well as in extra-curricular activities to channel students’ interest in solving global problems through entrepreneurship. Examples of formal programs include degrees and certificates in entrepreneurship, while examples of extra-curricular activities include business plan contests, entrepreneurship clubs, and startup internships. Many universities are even experimenting with on-campus accelerators, entrepreneurial dorms, and student venture funds. At the very least, these activities provide critical organizational skills to students, and at the very best, may create the next great university spinoff.''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The research you conducted for your Landscape Canvas corresponds to the 5 parameters. Your research will be most robust in this section (Discover, Learn and Experiment), related to &amp;quot;Promoting student innovation and entrepreneurship.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
= Encouraging faculty innovation and entrepreneurship =&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
''Faculty and doctoral graduate students conduct the research powering many of the innovations that spawn high-growth startups. However, even at our nation’s most entrepreneurial universities, many faculty and graduate students do not always consider the market and societal relevance of their research. To address this issue, universities are putting in place a series of policy changes to encourage more faculty entrepreneurship, which in turn will complement the student entrepreneurship. These changes include greater recognition of faculty entrepreneurs, integrating entrepreneurship into the faculty tenure and selection process, and increasing faculty connections to outside partners - through externships, engagement with business, and targeted resources for startup creation. Finally, universities are actively working with federal agencies to address some of the regulatory challenges around faculty entrepreneurship, in particular, those related to conflict of interest and national security issues.''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
While it doesn't seem as though it directly impacts you, the extent to which faculty are encouraged to innovate and pursue entrepreneurial pathways really does help determine the extent to which they will encourage students to explore their innovative and entrepreneurial potential. Encouragement at the faculty level is one of the things that differentiates more developed I&amp;amp;E ecosystems. Under the &amp;quot;Encouraging faculty innovation and entrepreneurship&amp;quot; category, please provide a succinct view of whether faculty are supported to be entrepreneurial or commercialize their research.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
= Actively supporting the university technology transfer function =&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
''University Technology Transfer Offices (TTO) and Technology Licensing Offices (TLO) have traditionally been the hubs within universities where innovators and outside business leaders engage to commercialize inventions. The recent burst of entrepreneurship on campuses has greatly expanded the role of the TTOs and TLOs. Instead of merely focusing on the commercialization of individual technologies, these offices now act as a central point where students, faculty, alumni, entrepreneurs, investors, and industry can connect with each other. These offices are now focused on identifying and supporting entrepreneurship on campus, helping startups find the best opportunities and building successful business models, changing the culture of their universities, and creating companies that will be based in the communities around the university. TTOs and TLOs have also expanded support beyond their traditional areas, such as energy and life sciences, into education, social innovation, and agriculture.''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Your research about IP policies in &amp;quot;Pursue&amp;quot; in the Landscape Canvas will give you a view into the resources your technology transfer office provides. Include this overview in &amp;quot;Actively supporting the university technology transfer function&amp;quot;. If your school doesn't have a technology transfer office, you can skip this section.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
= Facilitating university-industry collaboration =&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
''Businesses and industry benefit greatly from university research and innovation. Universities are constantly looking for ways to connect their research and students’ education to emerging industry interests. In recent years, universities have put greater emphasis on supporting startup companies, while continuing to engage established companies that have traditionally been their licensing partners. To facilitate greater collaboration and innovation, universities are opening up their facilities, faculty, and students to businesses (small and large) in the hopes of creating greater economic value. Universities are strategically partnering with companies, offering internships and externships, sharing facilities with startups, such as accelerators, and creating venture funds and incentive programs funded by industry, all of which drive increased innovation and product development by university students, faculty, and staff.''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The &amp;quot;Spin Out&amp;quot; section of your Landscape Canvas relates to research centers, industrial parks and industry/mentor networks and will give you a sense of whether the University is &amp;quot;Facilitating University-Industry Collaboration.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
= Engaging with regional and local economic development efforts =&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
''Historically, local economic development has been an important mission of the nation’s large universities. Many of America’s leading universities, particularly land-grant universities, have always felt a strong responsibility for the betterment of their surrounding communities. These days, universities are increasingly focusing on innovation and entrepreneurship as key contributors to the growth and success of local communities. Universities are requesting the federal government to include commercialization and innovation-driven economic development in their grant programs. In addition, regional economic development planning now often starts with an assessment of a local university’s research strengths. In turn, universities are seeking partners to supplement their strengths and overcome their weaknesses through partnerships with community colleges, non-profit economic development agencies, governments, and entrepreneurship groups. Some universities, such as Tulane University, are asking their students and faculty to contribute to local community development through service and projects. Others, such as North Carolina State University, are building innovation-driven campuses that help surrounding cities and communities prosper.''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The &amp;quot;Spin Out&amp;quot; section of your Landscape Canvas also reveals the extent to which the University is engaging with regional and local economic development efforts. Many campuses also have an economic development office and staff whose responsibility it is to leverage the University's research and development for positive local economic benefit.&lt;br /&gt;
