<div>= Overview =<br />
<br />
Ohio Northern University is an independent university in Ada, Ohio. ONU is known for their undergraduate education experience with research being the foundation to ONU's experiential education. The unique collaboration between professors and students in research yields countless opportunities for progress, as well as, opportunity for innovation. The two key components missing between the colleges on ONU's campus to catalyze a greater level of innovation and entrepreneurship are communication and collaboration. The following proposed strategies will create a greater awareness of I & E on campus, communication, and collaboration.<br />

<br />
= Strategy #1: Create opportunities for efficient communication across campus =<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size:medium;">Numerous faculty and students have expressed a lack of a college to college communication which is a large inhibitor to the channel of progress. The colleges should have seamless communication of research, opportunities, and ideas between them leaving an opportunity for multidisciplinary collaboration.</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
== Tactic #1: Hold Meetings Between Active Professors and Students from all Departments<br/> ==<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: 12px;">Meeting 1: <font face="Arial, sans-serif"><span style="line-height: 12.84px;">The first meeting will be just to identify the needs of each college and what they want help accomplishing. We can achieve this by doing brainstorming activities and spending time talking one on one. The most important part of the first meeting is that everyone becomes comfortable identifying the needs and desires of their department. After needs have been identified we can split into groups and all work on solutions to the problems presented</span></font></span><br />
<br />
'''Meeting 2: After spending time working on solutions, each group will present their solution to the whole group. This will not only help us fulfill the needs of all departments but it will also build relationships across the college of students and professors from various colleges.'''<br />
<br />
= Strategy #2: use interdisciplinary relationships to spread I&E campus wide =<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size:medium;">Many students have expressed their desire to actually participate in more activities that provide a greater experience related to not only their major, but other majors as well. The Landscape Canvas revealed current opportunities available for interdisciplinary collaboration through KEEN events, senior capstones, EPICS, and student clubs. The canvas also revealed areas where new opportunities must be created in order to support students in their ideas and untapped potential in innovation. Learning about how to effectively tie in other disciplines on-campus is key to generating momentum needed for innovation.</span><br />
<br />
== Tactic #1: Creating Interdisciplinary workshops/classes ==<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size:medium;">Event 1: &nbsp;In this event professors from different colleges will work together to build the curriculum for a class or workshop. For example, in a drafting class for the technology department a professor might work with a colleague from the art college to learn different techniques of making technical drawings more aesthetically pleasing. The tech college could even have the art professor in to teach on this topic.</span><br />
<br />
== Tactic #2: Encourage more awareness and participation for KEEN Challenges and ION ideation ==<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size:medium;">ONU currently hosts KEEN Innovation challenges on a semester basis. The KEEN Challenges are centered on a different challenge each time requiring the application of innovation with the supplied materials students need to complete the presented challenge.&nbsp;The KEEN Innovation challenges are a great introduction to innovation for students on campus. The challenges will be utilized as the gateway for students gaining an understanding of innovation. An ONU group, ION, currently holds Ideation sessions focused on helping students tap into their creative side to design space and furniture for the college. These Ideation sessions can be very helpful in fostering I&E and are severely under utilized.</span><br />
<br />
== Tactic #3: Generating more participation in the EPICS Program by offering general education tags with the course ==<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size:medium;">The EPICS program currently allows students to apply engineering principles in community service locally and internationally. But, too often students have to take other courses that will fulfill their general education requirments and will not have the option to take the EPICS course. If these courses could be embedded with interdisciplinary education then General Tags could be created allowing more students to take these courses.</span><br />
<br />
= Strategy #3: Creating how-to events that utilize any resources on campus =<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size:medium;">Many students expressed their desire for being more familiar with applications or resources that are available to them. Additionally, students of all majors can partake in these events. For example, a chemistry student interested in engineering could learn about engineering related software applications, theory etc. The goal is to create a program on campus that makes every possible resource available to students. This will make them better equipped to not only exceed the university's standards, but also make great strides in professional experience at an undergraduate level.</span><br />
<br />
== '''Tactic #1: Provide monthly workshops where students can learn about various resources and tools''' ==<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size:medium;">These monthly workshops, will teach students about software and resources used for their majors, as well as, software/resources that other majors use. Within these workshops, experiential learning will be the driving force in ensuring that students feel confident enough to take their knowledge to the next step in implementing their ideas to actual projects.</span><br />
<br />
== Tactic #2: Advertising professional speakers at ONU to the student body ==<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size:medium;">Countless professionals come to Ohio Northern and speak with students. Often, these speaking events have low turn out. The goal is to get students and faculty together to brainstorm ways in which the vast majority of students will be aware of the speakers and understand the value of these speaking events. This tactic will also be a networking opportunity for both students and professionals.</span><br />
<br />
= Strategy #4: Create a mentor program for the University Innovation Fellows Program on-campus =<br />
<br />
== Tactic #1: Connecting current fellows with new students ==<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size:medium;">In order to keep the momentum of the University Innovation Fellows Program on-campus, current fellows should have at least one mentee taht is an academic year or more lower than them. In these mentee relationships, it will be the responsibility of the fellow to share knowledge and resources that the underclassman fellow will need to make an impact during their time here, while also keeping the program active.</span><br />
<br />
= Initial Projects of Focus =<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size:medium;">As a team, we plan to convert the Tinker Lab into a maker space that is able to not only better serve the engineering students, but also begin serving all students. Additionally, we plan on starting a YouTube channel that highlights the work of innovators and changemakers on campus in order to raise the profile of innovators on campus and to generate excitement for innovation. We plan on creating effective ways for promoting KEEN and exactly what KEEN's goals are. We also hope to promote KEEN events at a greater level. Currently, our campus hosts KEEN Innovation Challenges each semester that introduce students to innovation through a series of new challenges. Secondly, we will work with the T.J. Smull College of Engineering to establish the Grand Challenge Scholars Program on-campus. Currently, the college of engineering has the EPICS program which gives students an opportunity for experiential learning and earn credit towards their coursework. We hope to pair the GCSP with the EPICS &nbsp;program. We will&nbsp;also conduct&nbsp;research to see if EPICS can be taken by non-engineering majors, as well as, seeing if the EPICS courses can count as a general education requirement that can help students meet their core requirements, while having the opportunity to practice innovation and entrepreneurship. Lastly, We plan on establishing the UIF mentor program to recruit future UIF candidates and ensure that the momentum the University Innovation Fellows Program has on Ohio Northern's campus continues. Once, ONU has a team of UIF fellows from all of the colleges, the other projects mentioned in the previous sections can be enacted.</span><br />

For example, in a drafting class for the technology department a professor might work with a colleague from the art college to learn different techniques of making technical drawings more aesthetically pleasing. The tech college could even have the art professor in to teach on this topic.</span><br />
<br />
== Tactic #2: Encourage more awareness and participation for KEEN Challenges and ION ideation ==<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size:medium;">ONU currently hosts KEEN Innovation challenges on a semester basis. The KEEN Challenges are centered on a different challenge each time requiring the application of innovation with the supplied materials students need to complete the presented challenge.&nbsp;The KEEN Innovation challenges are a great introduction to innovation for students on campus. The challenges will be utilized as the gateway for students gaining an understanding of innovation. An ONU group, ION, currently holds Ideation sessions focused on helping students tap into their creative side to design space and furniture for the college. These Ideation sessions can be very helpful in fostering I&E and are severely under utilized.</span><br />
<br />
== Tactic #3: Generating more participation in the EPICS Program by offering general education tags with the course ==<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size:medium;">The EPICS program currently allows students to apply engineering principles in community service locally and internationally. But, too often students have to take other courses that will fulfill their general education requirments and will not have the option to take the EPICS course. If these courses could be embedded with interdisciplinary education then General Tags could be created allowing more students to take these courses.</span><br />
<br />
= Strategy #3: Creating how-to events that utilize any resources on campus =<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size:medium;">Many students expressed their desire for being more familiar with applications or resources that are available to them. Additionally, students of all majors can partake in these events. For example, a chemistry student interested in engineering could learn about engineering related software applications, theory etc. The goal is to create a program on campus that makes every possible resource available to students. This will make them better equipped to not only exceed the university's standards, but also make great strides in professional experience at an undergraduate level.</span><br />
<br />
== '''Tactic #1: Provide monthly workshops where students can learn about various resources and tools''' ==<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size:medium;">These monthly workshops, will teach students about software and resources used for their majors, as well as, software/resources that other majors use. Within these workshops, experiential learning will be the driving force in ensuring that students feel confident enough to take their knowledge to the next step in implementing their ideas to actual projects.</span><br />
<br />
== Tactic #2: Advertising professional speakers at ONU to the student body ==<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size:medium;">Countless professionals come to Ohio Northern and speak with students. Often, these speaking events have low turn out. The goal is to get students and faculty together to brainstorm ways in which the vast majority of students will be aware of the speakers and understand the value of these speaking events. This tactic will also be a networking opportunity for both students and professionals.</span><br />
<br />
= Strategy #4: Create a mentor program for the University Innovation Fellows Program on-campus =<br />
<br />
== Tactic #1: Connecting current fellows with new students ==<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size:medium;">In order to keep the momentum of the University Innovation Fellows Program on-campus, current fellows should have at least one mentee taht is an academic year or more lower than them. In these mentee relationships, it will be the responsibility of the fellow to share knowledge and resources that the underclassman fellow will need to make an impact during their time here, while also keeping the program active.</span><br />
<br />
= Initial Projects of Focus =<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size:medium;">As a team, we plan to convert the Tinker Lab into a maker space that is able to not only better serve the engineering students, but also begin serving all students. Additionally, we plan on starting a YouTube channel that highlights the work of innovators and changemakers on campus in order to raise the profile of innovators on campus and to generate excitement for innovation. We plan on creating effective ways for promoting KEEN and exactly what KEEN's goals are. We also hope to promote KEEN events at a greater level. Currently, our campus hosts KEEN Innovation Challenges each semester that introduce students to innovation through a series of new challenges. Secondly, we will work with the T.J. Smull College of Engineering to establish the Grand Challenge Scholars Program on-campus. Currently, the college of engineering has the EPICS program which gives students an opportunity for experiential learning and earn credit towards their coursework. We hope to pair the GCSP with the EPICS &nbsp;program. We will&nbsp;also conduct&nbsp;research to see if EPICS can be taken by non-engineering majors, as well as, seeing if the EPICS courses can count as a general education requirement that can help students meet their core requirements, while having the opportunity to practice innovation and entrepreneurship. Lastly, We plan on establishing the UIF mentor program to recruit future UIF candidates and ensure that the momentum the University Innovation Fellows Program has on Ohio Northern's campus continues. Once, ONU has a team of UIF fellows from all of the colleges, the other projects mentioned in the previous sections can be enacted.</span><br />

<div>= Overview =<br />
<br />
Ohio Northern University is an independent university in Ada, Ohio. ONU is known for their undergraduate education experience with research being the foundation to ONU's experiential education. The unique collaboration between professors and students in research yields countless opportunities for progress, as well as, opportunity for innovation. The two key components missing between the colleges on ONU's campus to catalyze a greater level of innovation and entrepreneurship are communication and collaboration. The following proposed strategies will create a greater awareness of I & E on campus, communication, and collaboration.<br />
<br />
= Project Pitch Video =<br />

{{#Widget:Youtube|id=Y1cpb10LvB0}}<br />
<br />
= Strategy #1: Create opportunities for efficient communication across campus =<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size:medium;">Numerous faculty and students have expressed a lack of a college to college communication which is a large inhibitor to the channel of progress. The colleges should have seamless communication of research, opportunities, and ideas between them leaving an opportunity for multidisciplinary collaboration.</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
== Tactic #1: Hold Meetings Between Active Professors and Students from all Departments<br/> ==<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: 12px;">Meeting 1: <font face="Arial, sans-serif"><span style="line-height: 12.84px;">The first meeting will be just to identify the needs of each college and what they want help accomplishing. We can achieve this by doing brainstorming activities and spending time talking one on one. The most important part of the first meeting is that everyone becomes comfortable identifying the needs and desires of their department. After needs have been identified we can split into groups and all work on solutions to the problems presented</span></font></span><br />
<br />
'''Meeting 2: After spending time working on solutions, each group will present their solution to the whole group. This will not only help us fulfill the needs of all departments but it will also build relationships across the college of students and professors from various colleges.'''<br />
<br />
= Strategy #2: use interdisciplinary relationships to spread I&E campus wide =<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size:medium;">Many students have expressed their desire to actually participate in more activities that provide a greater experience related to not only their major, but other majors as well. The Landscape Canvas revealed current opportunities available for interdisciplinary collaboration through KEEN events, senior capstones, EPICS, and student clubs. The canvas also revealed areas where new opportunities must be created in order to support students in their ideas and untapped potential in innovation. Learning about how to effectively tie in other disciplines on-campus is key to generating momentum needed for innovation.</span><br />
<br />
== Tactic #1: Creating Interdisciplinary workshops/classes ==<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size:medium;">Event 1: &nbsp;In this event professors from different colleges will work together to build the curriculum for a class or workshop. For example, in a drafting class for the technology department a professor might work with a colleague from the art college to learn different techniques of making technical drawings more aesthetically pleasing. The tech college could even have the art professor in to teach on this topic.</span><br />

= Overview =<br />
<br />
Ohio Northern University is an independent university in Ada, Ohio. ONU is known for their undergraduate education experience with research being the foundation to ONU's experiential education. The unique collaboration between professors and students in research yields countless opportunities for progress, as well as, opportunity for innovation. The two key components missing between the colleges on ONU's campus to catalyze a greater level of innovation and entrepreneurship are communication and collaboration. The following proposed strategies will create a greater awareness of I & E on campus, communication, and collaboration.<br />
<br />
= Project Pitch Video =<br />
<br />
Spring 2016<br />
<br />

{{#Widget:Youtube|id=Y1cpb10LvB0}}<br />
<br />
= Strategy #1: Create opportunities for efficient communication across campus =<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size:medium;">Numerous faculty and students have expressed a lack of a college to college communication which is a large inhibitor to the channel of progress. The colleges should have seamless communication of research, opportunities, and ideas between them leaving an opportunity for multidisciplinary collaboration.</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
== Tactic #1: Hold Meetings Between Active Professors and Students from all Departments<br/> ==<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: 12px;">Meeting 1: <font face="Arial, sans-serif"><span style="line-height: 12.84px;">The first meeting will be just to identify the needs of each college and what they want help accomplishing. We can achieve this by doing brainstorming activities and spending time talking one on one. The most important part of the first meeting is that everyone becomes comfortable identifying the needs and desires of their department. After needs have been identified we can split into groups and all work on solutions to the problems presented</span></font></span><br />
<br />
'''Meeting 2: After spending time working on solutions, each group will present their solution to the whole group. This will not only help us fulfill the needs of all departments but it will also build relationships across the college of students and professors from various colleges.'''<br />
<br />
= Strategy #2: use interdisciplinary relationships to spread I&E campus wide =<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size:medium;">Many students have expressed their desire to actually participate in more activities that provide a greater experience related to not only their major, but other majors as well. The Landscape Canvas revealed current opportunities available for interdisciplinary collaboration through KEEN events, senior capstones, EPICS, and student clubs. The canvas also revealed areas where new opportunities must be created in order to support students in their ideas and untapped potential in innovation. Learning about how to effectively tie in other disciplines on-campus is key to generating momentum needed for innovation.</span><br />
<br />
== Tactic #1: Creating Interdisciplinary workshops/classes ==<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size:medium;">Event 1: &nbsp;In this event professors from different colleges will work together to build the curriculum for a class or workshop. For example, in a drafting class for the technology department a professor might work with a colleague from the art college to learn different techniques of making technical drawings more aesthetically pleasing. The tech college could even have the art professor in to teach on this topic.</span><br />
<br />
== Tactic #2: Encourage more awareness and participation for KEEN Challenges and ION ideation ==<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size:medium;">ONU currently hosts KEEN Innovation challenges on a semester basis. The KEEN Challenges are centered on a different challenge each time requiring the application of innovation with the supplied materials students need to complete the presented challenge.&nbsp;The KEEN Innovation challenges are a great introduction to innovation for students on campus. The challenges will be utilized as the gateway for students gaining an understanding of innovation. An ONU group, ION, currently holds Ideation sessions focused on helping students tap into their creative side to design space and furniture for the college. These Ideation sessions can be very helpful in fostering I&E and are severely under utilized.</span><br />
<br />
== Tactic #3: Generating more participation in the EPICS Program by offering general education tags with the course ==<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size:medium;">The EPICS program currently allows students to apply engineering principles in community service locally and internationally. But, too often students have to take other courses that will fulfill their general education requirments and will not have the option to take the EPICS course. If these courses could be embedded with interdisciplinary education then General Tags could be created allowing more students to take these courses.</span><br />
<br />
= Strategy #3: Creating how-to events that utilize any resources on campus =<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size:medium;">Many students expressed their desire for being more familiar with applications or resources that are available to them. Additionally, students of all majors can partake in these events. For example, a chemistry student interested in engineering could learn about engineering related software applications, theory etc. The goal is to create a program on campus that makes every possible resource available to students. This will make them better equipped to not only exceed the university's standards, but also make great strides in professional experience at an undergraduate level.</span><br />
<br />
== '''Tactic #1: Provide monthly workshops where students can learn about various resources and tools''' ==<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size:medium;">These monthly workshops, will teach students about software and resources used for their majors, as well as, software/resources that other majors use. Within these workshops, experiential learning will be the driving force in ensuring that students feel confident enough to take their knowledge to the next step in implementing their ideas to actual projects.</span><br />
<br />
== Tactic #2: Advertising professional speakers at ONU to the student body ==<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size:medium;">Countless professionals come to Ohio Northern and speak with students. Often, these speaking events have low turn out. The goal is to get students and faculty together to brainstorm ways in which the vast majority of students will be aware of the speakers and understand the value of these speaking events. This tactic will also be a networking opportunity for both students and professionals.</span><br />
<br />
= Strategy #4: Create a mentor program for the University Innovation Fellows Program on-campus =<br />
<br />
== Tactic #1: Connecting current fellows with new students ==<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size:medium;">In order to keep the momentum of the University Innovation Fellows Program on-campus, current fellows should have at least one mentee taht is an academic year or more lower than them. In these mentee relationships, it will be the responsibility of the fellow to share knowledge and resources that the underclassman fellow will need to make an impact during their time here, while also keeping the program active.</span><br />
<br />
= Initial Projects of Focus =<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size:medium;">As a team, we plan to convert the Tinker Lab into a maker space that is able to not only better serve the engineering students, but also begin serving all students. Additionally, we plan on starting a YouTube channel that highlights the work of innovators and changemakers on campus in order to raise the profile of innovators on campus and to generate excitement for innovation. We plan on creating effective ways for promoting KEEN and exactly what KEEN's goals are. We also hope to promote KEEN events at a greater level. Currently, our campus hosts KEEN Innovation Challenges each semester that introduce students to innovation through a series of new challenges. Secondly, we will work with the T.J. Smull College of Engineering to establish the Grand Challenge Scholars Program on-campus. Currently, the college of engineering has the EPICS program which gives students an opportunity for experiential learning and earn credit towards their coursework. We hope to pair the GCSP with the EPICS &nbsp;program. We will&nbsp;also conduct&nbsp;research to see if EPICS can be taken by non-engineering majors, as well as, seeing if the EPICS courses can count as a general education requirement that can help students meet their core requirements, while having the opportunity to practice innovation and entrepreneurship. Lastly, We plan on establishing the UIF mentor program to recruit future UIF candidates and ensure that the momentum the University Innovation Fellows Program has on Ohio Northern's campus continues. Once, ONU has a team of UIF fellows from all of the colleges, the other projects mentioned in the previous sections can be enacted.</span><br />

[[File:Dicke College of Business Administration 2.jpg|frame|left|Dicke College of Business Administration 2.jpg]]<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: medium;">ONU seeks to implement opportunities for both new and existing academic program growth. The most recent academic program growth is the recently added entrepreneurship program. The James F. Dicke College of Business Administration offers numerous courses that encourage the learning and application of innovation and entrepreneurship, opening the opportunity for the program to offer an entrepreneurship minor for any major, as well as, an engineering entrepreneurship for engineering majors.&nbsp;</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
== KEEN Network ==<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: medium;">ONU is a member of the Kern Entrepreneurship Education Network.&nbsp;<span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">KEEN is a true collective effort of universities that are focused on preparing students to be entrepreneurial and innovative in engineering and technology.&nbsp; The KEEN Network provides Ohio Northern University grants which are used to sponsor events like the KEEN Challenge and the Polar Elevator Pitch competition, as well as, the entrepreneurship program.&nbsp;</span></span><span style="font-size: medium;">Northern’s new entrepreneurship program offers a plethora of opportunities for students of all majors to study, as well as, participate in spurring innovation and creativity beginning on-campus and continuing through to the professional level. ONU recently hired an Industry Liaison through the KEEN grant to foster entrepreneurship and innovation campus wide.</span><br />
<br />

<br />
<span style="font-size:medium;">[[File:Polar Pitch Elevator Competition.jpg|border|left|Polar Pitch Elevator Competition.jpg]]</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size:medium;">The Polar Pitch Competition prompt for students is to: captivate them with your creativity, engage them with your entrepreneurial mindset, and ignite your innovative side.</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: medium;">Students from all majors are invited to participate and courses such as Principles of Entrepreneurship and Intro to Engineering 2 require participation within this competition as part of an in class project. The Pitch competition has the following competition categories: ideas that improve society, high-tech commercialized product ideas, as-seen-on TV product ideas, and new business that creates jobs. First place participants win the grand prize and gain the opportunity to receive advice and instruction to take the winning idea from an idea to an actual product to the market.&nbsp;&nbsp;</span><br />
<br />
== KEEN Innovation Challenge ==<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: medium;">The second innovative event is the KEEN Innovation Challenge sponsored by the Kern Entrepreneurship Education Network and ONU. The challenge is held on a semester basis, with no two challenges being the same. Teams of three require at least one engineering student. The premise of the challenge is that each team exercise innovation and creativity in the impromptu challenges with a given set of materials.</span><br />

= '''Faculty Innovation and Entrepreneurship''' =<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size:medium;">One of the key causes for Northern’s reputation for excellence stems from their focus as a school to encourage research and collaboration with professors at an undergraduate level. ONU believes strongly in undergraduate research as the foundation for future success. The undergraduate research and collaboration with professors, spurs innovation. As of recently, with the establishing of the entrepreneurship program by Dr. Tammy Schakett, and the Polar Elevator Pitch competition, students now have the opportunity to discover and practice innovation and entrepreneurship as catalytic pairs.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size:medium;">Recently, the Kern Family awarded a grant of $1.21 million to the T.J. Smull of College of Engineering at ONU to continue in instilling the entrepreneurial mindset in engineering undergraduates from 2015 through 2018. As ONU continues to make strides in creating more opportunities for I & E to be integrated on-campus within the curriculum offerings, the students will not only be prepared to work at the professional level, but also be equipped to setting the innovative and entrpeneurial professional standard in their future careers.&nbsp;</span><br />

<span style="font-size:medium;">One of the key causes for Northern’s reputation for excellence stems from their focus as a school to encourage research and collaboration with professors at an undergraduate level. ONU believes strongly in undergraduate research as the foundation for future success. The undergraduate research and collaboration with professors, spurs innovation. As of recently, with the establishing of the entrepreneurship program by Dr. Tammy Schakett, and the Polar Elevator Pitch competition, students now have the opportunity to discover and practice innovation and entrepreneurship as catalytic pairs.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size:medium;">Recently, the Kern Family awarded a grant of $1.21 million to the T.J. Smull of College of Engineering at ONU to continue in instilling the entrepreneurial mindset in engineering undergraduates from 2015 through 2018. As ONU continues to make strides in creating more opportunities for I & E to be integrated on-campus within the curriculum offerings, the students will not only be prepared to work at the professional level, but also be equipped to setting the innovative and entrpeneurial professional standard in their future careers.&nbsp;</span><br />

<span style="font-size:medium;">Ohio Northern University is an independent university located in Ada, Ohio. The school has 3,108 students representing 34 states and 26 countries. A trait unique to ONU is the “one to one” relationship between students and professors. The reputation for ONU’s strong bond between the student body and the professors is attributed to the 11:1 student/faculty ratio. Ohio Northern University strives to provide students with the best faculty which is why 83% of ONU’s full time faculty have Ph.D. or terminal degrees. ONU is nationally ranked for the sciences, arts, and professional programs in the following colleges: Arts & Sciences, Business Administration, Engineering, Pharmacy and Law. It has led to an astounding 94% placement rate within six months after graduation in all colleges.</span><br />

<span style="font-size:medium;">One of the key causes for Northern’s reputation for excellence stems from their focus as a school to encourage research and collaboration with professors at an undergraduate level. ONU believes strongly in undergraduate research as the foundation for future success. The undergraduate research and collaboration with professors, spurs innovation. As of recently, with the establishing of the entrepreneurship program by Dr. Tammy Schakett, and the Polar Elevator Pitch competition, students now have the opportunity to discover and practice innovation and entrepreneurship as catalytic pairs.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size:medium;">Recently, the Kern Family awarded a grant of $1.21 million to the T.J. Smull of College of Engineering at ONU to continue in instilling the entrepreneurial mindset in engineering undergraduates from 2015 through 2018. As ONU continues to make strides in creating more opportunities for I & E to be integrated on-campus within the curriculum offerings, the students will not only be prepared to work at the professional level, but also be equipped to setting the innovative and entrpeneurial professional standard in their future careers.&nbsp;</span><br />

<span style="font-size:medium;">Ohio Northern University is an independent university located in Ada, Ohio. The school has 3,108 students representing 34 states and 26 countries. A trait unique to ONU is the “one to one” relationship between students and professors. The reputation for ONU’s strong bond between the student body and the professors is attributed to the 11:1 student/faculty ratio. Ohio Northern University strives to provide students with the best faculty which is why 83% of ONU’s full time faculty have Ph.D. or terminal degrees. ONU is nationally ranked for the sciences, arts, and professional programs in the following colleges: Arts & Sciences, Business Administration, Engineering, Pharmacy and Law. It has led to an astounding 94% placement rate within six months after graduation in all colleges.</span><br />

<span style="font-size:medium;">One of the key causes for Northern’s reputation for excellence stems from their focus as a school to encourage research and collaboration with professors at an undergraduate level. ONU believes strongly in undergraduate research as the foundation for future success. The undergraduate research and collaboration with professors, spurs innovation. As of recently, with the establishing of the entrepreneurship program by Dr. Tammy Schakett, and the Polar Elevator Pitch competition, students now have the opportunity to discover and practice innovation and entrepreneurship as catalytic pairs.</span><br />

<span style="font-size:medium;">Recently, the Kern Family awarded a grant of $1.21 million to the T.J.

<span style="font-size:medium;">Ohio Northern University is an independent university located in Ada, Ohio. The school has 3,108 students representing 34 states and 26 countries. A trait unique to ONU is the “one to one” relationship between students and professors. The reputation for ONU’s strong bond between the student body and the professors is attributed to the 11:1 student/faculty ratio. Ohio Northern University strives to provide students with the best faculty which is why 83% of ONU’s full time faculty have Ph.D. or terminal degrees. ONU is nationally ranked for the sciences, arts, and professional programs in the following colleges: Arts & Sciences, Business Administration, Engineering, Pharmacy and Law. It has led to an astounding 94% placement rate within six months after graduation in all colleges.</span><br />

<span style="font-size:medium;">Ohio Northern University is an independent university located in Ada, Ohio. The school has 3,108 students representing 34 states and 26 countries. A trait unique to ONU is the “one to one” relationship between students and professors. The reputation for ONU’s strong bond between the student body and the professors is attributed to the 11:1 student/faculty ratio. Ohio Northern University strives to provide students with the best faculty which is why 83% of ONU’s full time faculty have Ph.D. or terminal degrees. ONU is nationally ranked for the sciences, arts, and professional programs in the following colleges: Arts & Sciences, Business Administration, Engineering, Pharmacy and Law. It has led to an astounding 94% placement rate within six months after graduation in all colleges.</span><br />

<span style="font-size:medium;">Ohio Northern University is an independent university located in Ada, Ohio. The school has 3,108 students representing 34 states and 26 countries. A trait unique to ONU is the “one to one” relationship between students and professors. The reputation for ONU’s strong bond between the student body and the professors is attributed to the 11:1 student/faculty ratio. Ohio Northern University strives to provide students with the best faculty which is why 83% of ONU’s full time faculty have Ph.D. or terminal degrees. ONU is nationally ranked for the sciences, arts, and professional programs in the following colleges: Arts & Sciences, Business Administration, Engineering, Pharmacy and Law. It has led to an astounding 94% placement rate within six months after graduation in all colleges.</span><br />

<span style="font-size:medium;">Ohio Northern University is an independent university located in Ada, Ohio. The school has 3,108 students representing 34 states and 26 countries. A trait unique to ONU is the “one to one” relationship between students and professors. The reputation for ONU’s strong bond between the student body and the professors is attributed to the 11:1 student/faculty ratio. Ohio Northern University strives to provide students with the best faculty which is why 83% of ONU’s full time faculty have Ph.D. or terminal degrees. ONU is nationally ranked for the sciences, arts, and professional programs in the following colleges: Arts & Sciences, Business Administration, Engineering, Pharmacy and Law. It has led to an astounding 94% placement rate within six months after graduation in all colleges.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: medium;">ONU seeks to implement opportunities for both new and existing academic program growth. The most recent academic program growth is the recently added entrepreneurship program. The James F. Dicke College of Business Administration offers numerous courses that encourage the learning and application of innovation and entrepreneurship, opening the opportunity for the program to offer an entrepreneurship minor for any major, as well as, an engineering entrepreneurship for engineering majors.&nbsp;</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: medium;">ONU is a member of the Kern Entrepreneurship Education Network.&nbsp;<span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">KEEN is a true collective effort of universities that are focused on preparing students to be entrepreneurial and innovative in engineering and technology.&nbsp; The KEEN Network provides Ohio Northern University grants which are used to sponsor events like the KEEN Challenge and the Polar Elevator Pitch competition, as well as, the entrepreneurship program.&nbsp;</span></span><span style="font-size: medium;">Northern’s new entrepreneurship program offers a plethora of opportunities for students of all majors to study, as well as, participate in spurring innovation and creativity beginning on-campus and continuing through to the professional level. ONU recently hired an Industry Liaison through the KEEN grant to foster entrepreneurship and innovation campus wide.</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size:medium;">Two on campus events that encourage innovation and entrepreneurship are the Polar Elevator Pitch Competition and the KEEN Innovation Challenge, both of which require the formation and collaboration of student teams of different majors.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size:medium;">[[File:Polar Pitch Elevator Competition.jpg|border|left|Polar Pitch Elevator Competition.jpg]]</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size:medium;">The Polar Pitch Competition prompt for students is to: captivate them with your creativity, engage them with your entrepreneurial mindset, and ignite your innovative side.</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: medium;">Students from all majors are invited to participate and courses such as Principles of Entrepreneurship and Intro to Engineering 2 require participation within this competition as part of an in class project. The Pitch competition has the following competition categories: ideas that improve society, high-tech commercialized product ideas, as-seen-on TV product ideas, and new business that creates jobs. First place participants win the grand prize and gain the opportunity to receive advice and instruction to take the winning idea from an idea to an actual product to the market.&nbsp;&nbsp;</span><br />
<br />
[[File:KEEN Innovation Challenge.jpg|frame|KEEN Innovation Challenge.jpg]]<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: medium;">The second innovative event is the KEEN Innovation Challenge sponsored by the Kern Entrepreneurship Education Network and ONU. The challenge is held on a semester basis, with no two challenges being the same. Teams of three require at least one engineering student. The premise of the challenge is that each team exercise innovation and creativity in the impromptu challenges with a given set of materials.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size:medium;">One of the key causes for Northern’s reputation for excellence stems from their focus as a school to encourage research and collaboration with professors at an undergraduate level. ONU believes strongly in undergraduate research as the foundation for future success. The undergraduate research and collaboration with professors, spurs innovation. As of recently, with the establishing of the entrepreneurship program by Dr. Tammy Schakett, and the Polar Elevator Pitch competition, students now have the opportunity to discover and practice innovation and entrepreneurship as catalytic pairs.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size:medium;">Recently, the Kern Family awarded a grant of $1.21 million to the T.J. Smull of College of Engineering at ONU to continue in instilling the entrepreneurial mindset in engineering undergraduates from 2015 through 2018. As ONU continues to make strides in creating more opportunities for I & E to be integrated on-campus within the curriculum offerings, the students will not only be prepared to work at the professional level, but also be equipped to setting the innovative and entrpeneurial professional standard in their future careers.&nbsp;</span><br />

<span style="font-size:medium;">Ohio Northern University is an independent university located in Ada, Ohio. The school has 3,108 students representing 34 states and 26 countries. A trait unique to ONU is the “one to one” relationship between students and professors. The reputation for ONU’s strong bond between the student body and the professors is attributed to the 11:1 student/faculty ratio. Ohio Northern University strives to provide students with the best faculty which is why 83% of ONU’s full time faculty have Ph.D. or terminal degrees. ONU is nationally ranked for the sciences, arts, and professional programs in the following colleges: Arts & Sciences, Business Administration, Engineering, Pharmacy and Law. It has led to an astounding 94% placement rate within six months after graduation in all colleges.</span><br />

[[File:Dicke College of Business Administration 2.jpg|frame|left]]<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: medium;">ONU seeks to implement opportunities for both new and existing academic program growth. The most recent academic program growth is the recently added entrepreneurship program. The James F. Dicke College of Business Administration offers numerous courses that encourage the learning and application of innovation and entrepreneurship, opening the opportunity for the program to offer an entrepreneurship minor for any major, as well as, an engineering entrepreneurship for engineering majors.&nbsp;</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size:medium;">ONU is a member of the Kern Entrepreneurship Education Network.&nbsp;<span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">KEEN is a true collective effort of universities that are focused on preparing students to be entrepreneurial and innovative in engineering and technology.&nbsp; The KEEN Network provides Ohio Northern University grants which are used to sponsor events like the KEEN Challenge and the Polar Elevator Pitch competition, as well as, the entrepreneurship program.&nbsp;</span></span><span style="font-size: medium;">Northern’s new entrepreneurship program offers a plethora of opportunities for students of all majors to study, as well as, participate in spurring innovation and creativity beginning on-campus and continuing through to the professional level. ONU recently hired an Industry Liaison through the KEEN grant to foster entrepreneurship and innovation campus wide.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size:medium;"></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size:medium;">Two on campus events that encourage innovation and entrepreneurship are the Polar Elevator Pitch Competition and the KEEN Innovation Challenge, both of which require the formation and collaboration of student teams of different majors.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size:medium;">[[File:Polar Pitch Elevator Competition.jpg|border|left|Polar Pitch Elevator Competition.jpg]]</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size:medium;">The Polar Pitch Competition prompt for students is to: captivate them with your creativity, engage them with your entrepreneurial mindset, and ignite your innovative side.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size:medium;"></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size:medium;"></span><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size:medium;">Students from all majors are invited to participate and courses such as Principles of Entrepreneurship and Intro to Engineering 2 require participation within this competition as part of an in class project. The Pitch competition has the following competition categories: ideas that improve society, high-tech commercialized product ideas, as-seen-on TV product ideas, and new business that creates jobs. First place participants win the grand prize and gain the opportunity to receive advice and instruction to take the winning idea from an idea to an actual product to the market. &nbsp;</span><br />
<br />
[[File:KEEN Innovation Challenge.jpg|frame]]<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: medium;">The second innovative event is the KEEN Innovation Challenge sponsored by the Kern Entrepreneurship Education Network and ONU. The challenge is held on a semester basis, with no two challenges being the same. Teams of three require at least one engineering student. The premise of the challenge is that each team exercise innovation and creativity in the impromptu challenges with a given set of materials.</span><br />

= '''Faculty Innovation and Entrepreneurship''' =<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size:medium;">One of the key causes for Northern’s reputation for excellence stems from their focus as a school to encourage research and collaboration with professors at an undergraduate level. ONU believes strongly in undergraduate research as the foundation for future success. The undergraduate research and collaboration with professors, spurs innovation. As of recently, with the establishing of the entrepreneurship program by Dr. Tammy Schakett, and the Polar Elevator Pitch competition, students now have the opportunity to discover and practice innovation and entrepreneurship as catalytic pairs.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size:medium;">Recently, the Kern Family awarded a grant of $1.21 million to the T.J. Smull of College of Engineering at ONU to continue in instilling the entrepreneurial mindset in engineering undergraduates from 2015 through 2018. As ONU continues to make strides in creating more opportunities for I & E to be integrated on-campus within the curriculum offerings, the students will not only be prepared to work at the professional level, but also be equipped to setting the innovative and entrpeneurial professional standard in their future careers.&nbsp;</span><br />

[[File:Dicke College of Business Administration 2.jpg|frame|left]]<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: medium;">ONU seeks to implement opportunities for both new and existing academic program growth. The most recent academic program growth is the recently added entrepreneurship program. The James F. Dicke College of Business Administration offers numerous courses that encourage the learning and application of innovation and entrepreneurship, opening the opportunity for the program to offer an entrepreneurship minor for any major, as well as, an engineering entrepreneurship for engineering majors.&nbsp;</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size:medium;">ONU is a member of the Kern Entrepreneurship Education Network.&nbsp;<span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">KEEN is a true collective effort of universities that are focused on preparing students to be entrepreneurial and innovative in engineering and technology.&nbsp; The KEEN Network provides Ohio Northern University grants which are used to sponsor events like the KEEN Challenge and the Polar Elevator Pitch competition, as well as, the entrepreneurship program.&nbsp;</span></span><span style="font-size: medium;">Northern’s new entrepreneurship program offers a plethora of opportunities for students of all majors to study, as well as, participate in spurring innovation and creativity beginning on-campus and continuing through to the professional level. ONU recently hired an Industry Liaison through the KEEN grant to foster entrepreneurship and innovation campus wide.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size:medium;">Two on campus events that encourage innovation and entrepreneurship are the Polar Elevator Pitch Competition and the KEEN Innovation Challenge, both of which require the formation and collaboration of student teams of different majors.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size:medium;">[[File:Polar Pitch Elevator Competition.jpg|border|left|Polar Pitch Elevator Competition.jpg]]</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size:medium;">The Polar Pitch Competition prompt for students is to: captivate them with your creativity, engage them with your entrepreneurial mindset, and ignite your innovative side. Students from all majors are invited to participate and courses such as Principles of Entrepreneurship and Intro to Engineering 2 require participation within this competition as part of an in class project. The Pitch competition has the following competition categories: ideas that improve society, high-tech commercialized product ideas, as-seen-on TV product ideas, and new business that creates jobs. First place participants win the grand prize and gain the opportunity to receive advice and instruction to take the winning idea from an idea to an actual product to the market. &nbsp;</span><br />
<br />
[[File:KEEN Innovation Challenge.jpg|frame]]<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: medium;">The second innovative event is the KEEN Innovation Challenge sponsored by the Kern Entrepreneurship Education Network and ONU. The challenge is held on a semester basis, with no two challenges being the same. Teams of three require at least one engineering student. The premise of the challenge is that each team exercise innovation and creativity in the impromptu challenges with a given set of materials.</span><br />
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;"></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Two resources that students can utilize on a daily basis are the Machine Shop and Tinker Lab located in the Biggs Engineering Building.

<span style="font-size:medium;">One of the key causes for Northern’s reputation for excellence stems from their focus as a school to encourage research and collaboration with professors at an undergraduate level. ONU believes strongly in undergraduate research as the foundation for future success. The undergraduate research and collaboration with professors, spurs innovation. As of recently, with the establishing of the entrepreneurship program by Dr. Tammy Schakett, and the Polar Elevator Pitch competition, students now have the opportunity to discover and practice innovation and entrepreneurship as catalytic pairs.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size:medium;">Recently, the Kern Family awarded a grant of $1.21 million to the T.J. Smull of College of Engineering at ONU to continue in instilling the entrepreneurial mindset in engineering undergraduates from 2015 through 2018. As ONU continues to make strides in creating more opportunities for I & E to be integrated on-campus within the curriculum offerings, the students will not only be prepared to work at the professional level, but also be equipped to setting the innovative and entrpeneurial professional standard in their future careers.&nbsp;</span><br />

<span style="font-size:medium;">Ohio Northern University is an independent university located in Ada, Ohio. The school has 3,108 students representing 34 states and 26 countries. A trait unique to ONU is the “one to one” relationship between students and professors. The reputation for ONU’s strong bond between the student body and the professors is attributed to the 11:1 student/faculty ratio. Ohio Northern University strives to provide students with the best faculty which is why 83% of ONU’s full time faculty have Ph.D. or terminal degrees. ONU is nationally ranked for the sciences, arts, and professional programs in the following colleges: Arts & Sciences, Business Administration, Engineering, Pharmacy and Law. It has led to an astounding 94% placement rate within six months after graduation in all colleges.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: medium;">ONU seeks to implement opportunities for both new and existing academic program growth. The most recent academic program growth is the recently added entrepreneurship program. The James F. Dicke College of Business Administration offers numerous courses that encourage the learning and application of innovation and entrepreneurship, opening the opportunity for the program to offer an entrepreneurship minor for any major, as well as, an engineering entrepreneurship for engineering majors.&nbsp;</span><br />

<span style="font-size:medium;">ONU is a member of the Kern Entrepreneurship Education Network.&nbsp;<span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">KEEN is a true collective effort of universities that are focused on preparing students to be entrepreneurial and innovative in engineering and technology.&nbsp; The KEEN Network provides Ohio Northern University grants which are used to sponsor events like the KEEN Challenge and the Polar Elevator Pitch competition, as well as, the entrepreneurship program.&nbsp;</span></span><span style="font-size: medium;">Northern’s new entrepreneurship program offers a plethora of opportunities for students of all majors to study, as well as, participate in spurring innovation and creativity beginning on-campus and continuing through to the professional level.

<br />
<span style="font-size:medium;">Two on campus events that encourage innovation and entrepreneurship are the Polar Elevator Pitch Competition and the KEEN Innovation Challenge, both of which require the formation and collaboration of student teams of different majors.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size:medium;">[[File:Polar Pitch Elevator Competition.jpg|border|left|Polar Pitch Elevator Competition.jpg]]</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size:medium;">The Polar Pitch Competition prompt for students is to: captivate them with your creativity, engage them with your entrepreneurial mindset, and ignite your innovative side. Students from all majors are invited to participate and courses such as Principles of Entrepreneurship and Intro to Engineering 2 require participation within this competition as part of an in class project. The Pitch competition has the following competition categories: ideas that improve society, high-tech commercialized product ideas, as-seen-on TV product ideas, and new business that creates jobs. First place participants win the grand prize and gain the opportunity to receive advice and instruction to take the winning idea from an idea to an actual product to the market. &nbsp;</span><br />

<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Two resources that students can utilize on a daily basis are the Machine Shop and Tinker Lab located in the Biggs Engineering Building.

'''Faculty Innovation and Entrepreneurship''' =<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size:medium;">One of the key causes for Northern’s reputation for excellence stems from their focus as a school to encourage research and collaboration with professors at an undergraduate level. ONU believes strongly in undergraduate research as the foundation for future success. The undergraduate research and collaboration with professors, spurs innovation. As of recently, with the establishing of the entrepreneurship program by Dr. Tammy Schakett, and the Polar Elevator Pitch competition, students now have the opportunity to discover and practice innovation and entrepreneurship as catalytic pairs.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size:medium;">Recently, the Kern Family awarded a grant of $1.21 million to the T.J. Smull of College of Engineering at ONU to continue in instilling the entrepreneurial mindset in engineering undergraduates from 2015 through 2018. As ONU continues to make strides in creating more opportunities for I & E to be integrated on-campus within the curriculum offerings, the students will not only be prepared to work at the professional level, but also be equipped to setting the innovative and entrpeneurial professional standard in their future careers.&nbsp;</span><br />

<span style="font-size:medium;">Ohio Northern University is an independent university located in Ada, Ohio. The school has 3,108 students representing 34 states and 26 countries. A trait unique to ONU is the “one to one” relationship between students and professors. The reputation for ONU’s strong bond between the student body and the professors is attributed to the 11:1 student/faculty ratio. Ohio Northern University strives to provide students with the best faculty which is why 83% of ONU’s full time faculty have Ph.D. or terminal degrees. ONU is nationally ranked for the sciences, arts, and professional programs in the following colleges: Arts & Sciences, Business Administration, Engineering, Pharmacy and Law. It has led to an astounding 94% placement rate within six months after graduation in all colleges.</span><br />

'''Faculty Innovation and Entrepreneurship''' =<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size:medium;">One of the key causes for Northern’s reputation for excellence stems from their focus as a school to encourage research and collaboration with professors at an undergraduate level. ONU believes strongly in undergraduate research as the foundation for future success. The undergraduate research and collaboration with professors, spurs innovation. As of recently, with the establishing of the entrepreneurship program by Dr. Tammy Schakett, and the Polar Elevator Pitch competition, students now have the opportunity to discover and practice innovation and entrepreneurship as catalytic pairs.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size:medium;">Recently, the Kern Family awarded a grant of $1.21 million to the T.J. Smull of College of Engineering at ONU to continue in instilling the entrepreneurial mindset in engineering undergraduates from 2015 through 2018. As ONU continues to make strides in creating more opportunities for I & E to be integrated on-campus within the curriculum offerings, the students will not only be prepared to work at the professional level, but also be equipped to setting the innovative and entrpeneurial professional standard in their future careers.&nbsp;</span><br />

For example, by focusing on inclusion, KEEN gives institutions the ability to share, learn from, and modify best practices. Partners also host trainings and meetings, both for the benefit of the Network, and to influence the broader engineering ecosystem. And because of the commitment of presidents, provosts, and deans, faculty at partner schools are afforded the freedom to be agents of change on campuses and in classrooms.</span></span><br />

For example, by focusing on inclusion, KEEN gives institutions the ability to share, learn from, and modify best practices. Partners also host trainings and meetings, both for the benefit of the Network, and to influence the broader engineering ecosystem. And because of the commitment of presidents, provosts, and deans, faculty at partner schools are afforded the freedom to be agents of change on campuses and in classrooms.</span></span><br />

For example, by focusing on inclusion, KEEN gives institutions the ability to share, learn from, and modify best practices. Partners also host trainings and meetings, both for the benefit of the Network, and to influence the broader engineering ecosystem. And because of the commitment of presidents, provosts, and deans, faculty at partner schools are afforded the freedom to be agents of change on campuses and in classrooms.</span></span><br />

For example, by focusing on inclusion, KEEN gives institutions the ability to share, learn from, and modify best practices. Partners also host trainings and meetings, both for the benefit of the Network, and to influence the broader engineering ecosystem. And because of the commitment of presidents, provosts, and deans, faculty at partner schools are afforded the freedom to be agents of change on campuses and in classrooms.</span></span><br />

For example, by focusing on inclusion, KEEN gives institutions the ability to share, learn from, and modify best practices. Partners also host trainings and meetings, both for the benefit of the Network, and to influence the broader engineering ecosystem. And because of the commitment of presidents, provosts, and deans, faculty at partner schools are afforded the freedom to be agents of change on campuses and in classrooms.</span></span><br />

For example, by focusing on inclusion, KEEN gives institutions the ability to share, learn from, and modify best practices. Partners also host trainings and meetings, both for the benefit of the Network, and to influence the broader engineering ecosystem. And because of the commitment of presidents, provosts, and deans, faculty at partner schools are afforded the freedom to be agents of change on campuses and in classrooms.</span></span><br />

For example, by focusing on inclusion, KEEN gives institutions the ability to share, learn from, and modify best practices. Partners also host trainings and meetings, both for the benefit of the Network, and to influence the broader engineering ecosystem. And because of the commitment of presidents, provosts, and deans, faculty at partner schools are afforded the freedom to be agents of change on campuses and in classrooms.</span></span><br />

For example, by focusing on inclusion, KEEN gives institutions the ability to share, learn from, and modify best practices. Partners also host trainings and meetings, both for the benefit of the Network, and to influence the broader engineering ecosystem. And because of the commitment of presidents, provosts, and deans, faculty at partner schools are afforded the freedom to be agents of change on campuses and in classrooms.</span></span><br />

For example, by focusing on inclusion, KEEN gives institutions the ability to share, learn from, and modify best practices. Partners also host trainings and meetings, both for the benefit of the Network, and to influence the broader engineering ecosystem. And because of the commitment of presidents, provosts, and deans, faculty at partner schools are afforded the freedom to be agents of change on campuses and in classrooms.</span></span><br />

For example, by focusing on inclusion, KEEN gives institutions the ability to share, learn from, and modify best practices. Partners also host trainings and meetings, both for the benefit of the Network, and to influence the broader engineering ecosystem. And because of the commitment of presidents, provosts, and deans, faculty at partner schools are afforded the freedom to be agents of change on campuses and in classrooms.</span></span><br />

For example, by focusing on inclusion, KEEN gives institutions the ability to share, learn from, and modify best practices. Partners also host trainings and meetings, both for the benefit of the Network, and to influence the broader engineering ecosystem. And because of the commitment of presidents, provosts, and deans, faculty at partner schools are afforded the freedom to be agents of change on campuses and in classrooms.</span></span><br />
