<hr />
<div>HanSung (also goes by the name Eric) is a third-year Mechanical Engineering student at the Georgia Institute of Technology. His interests include space exploration, sustainability, renewable energy, design thinking, information technology and politics. He is always seeking opportunities to meet new people and gain different perspectives on issues. His goal in life is to become an entrepreneur that leads innovation, but also advocates for social causes.<br />
<br />
HanSung is a prototyping at the Invention Studio at Georgia Tech, the largest student-run university makerspace in the US. He trains new users of the makerspace to use the tools provided in the space and advises them on how to go about making their prototypes. He enjoys working with people to create prototypes and see ideas come to life.<br />
<br />
In addition to working at the makerspace, HanSung works as a workshop and curriculum designer at the Innovation and Design Collaborate at Georgia Tech (also known as the ‘Design’ Bloc’). As a part of this, he creates and runs workshops for the club OpenIDEO@GT on his campus, where he teaches people about design thinking and how to apply design thinking to social problems within the community.<br />
<br />
In his free time HanSung likes to make random toys with 3D printers, play video games, and play tennis. One of his goals is to travel to as many countries as possible in his life and experience the different cultures, especially the food.</div>Hansungkim1998https://universityinnovation.org/index.php?title=Priorities:Georgia_Institute_of_Technology_Student_Priorities&diff=55744Priorities:Georgia Institute of Technology Student Priorities2017-10-13T19:54:50Z<p>Hansungkim1998: </p>

<span style="font-size:medium"></span><span style="font-size: medium;">The primary priorities for the Fall 2017 cohort are to:</span><br />
<br />
#<font size="3">Build awareness and visibility of interdisciplinary courses on campus, especially for first-year students.&nbsp;</font><br />
#<font size="3">Combat the following issues with I&E resources on campus: they are too competitive with each other, they are too exclusive, they serve too small a niche, and they are inaccessible.</font><br />
<br />
= '''<span style="font-size: medium;">Strategy #1: Build awareness and visibility of interdisciplinary courses on campus, especially for first-year students.&nbsp;</span>''' =<br />
<br />
*<font size="3">Curate in-person experiences where we can engage with first-year students.</font><br />
*<font size="3">Encourage hands-on activity and experimental learning, as a gateway to enrolling in the course.&nbsp;</font><br />
*<font size="3">Use social atmospheres to advertise and help students catch the "design bug".</font><br />

*'''<span style="font-size: medium;">Tactic #1: Resources are in constant competition with each other.&nbsp;</span>'''<br />
**<font size="3">Currently, different I&E initiatives on campus are competing for funding, visibility, and students. How might we encourage them to work together, and also prevent further competitive initiatives from beginning?</font><br />
**<font size="3"></font><font size="3">Create a map of I&E resources available to students at Georgia Tech. Use the following categories to sort the resources: maker space, mentorship, funding, classes, events, industry connections</font><br />
**<font size="3">Use the map to display 1) what of the 6 categories is offered at what initiative, 2) where partnerships exist, 3) how students can get involved, and 4) how partners can get involved.&nbsp;</font><br />
**<font size="3">Incentivize partnerships (as in, instead of creating your own makerspace with a special mentorship program only for one major, partner with a currently existing makerspace to create a mentorship program) by using it as a status symbol on the map.&nbsp;</font><br />

<br />
#<span style="font-size:medium"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><span id="docs-internal-guid-b8f4746e-3803-f30d-1416-ab1a1432bbbe"><span style="background-color: transparent; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap">Students interested in getting involved with the I&E movement will be directly connected with a professor based on their ideas, needs, and goals. This introduction will save valuable time for the student by removing the searching process. This will also save time for the professor by introducing them to a student who is serious about their work and eager to network.</span></span></span></span><br />
#<span style="font-size:medium"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><span id="docs-internal-guid-b8f4746e-3803-f30d-1416-ab1a1432bbbe"><span style="background-color: transparent; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap">Faculty will be able to directly interact and engage with movements on campus that organizations and students are working on. Instead of being directed by several groups of people, faculty members will know all I&E-related movements are being directed by the University Innovation Council.</span></span></span></span><br />
#<span style="font-size:medium"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><span id="docs-internal-guid-b8f4746e-3803-f30d-1416-ab1a1432bbbe"><span style="background-color: transparent; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap">Resources for both students and faculty will be maximized due to a new lack of overlap.

Our organization, the University Innovation Council, is one that will exist for the betterment of the entire university; not just one major, one club, or even one type of student.</span></span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size:medium"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><span style="background-color: transparent; white-space: pre-wrap; line-height: 1.15">Many undergraduate students have been inspired to create projects and invent in their classes and many graduate students have also been encouraged to turn their research and theses into entrepreneurial companies. This organization would really help graduate students network with undergraduates to easily allocate research positions, internships, and special projects, as well as vice-versa. It is a much more desirable way for them to see what undergraduate students are passionate about, instead of just going off of resumes and shallow connections.</span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size:medium"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><span style="background-color: transparent; white-space: pre-wrap; line-height: 1.15">Again, by providing an overarching umbrella, students will be able to focus on their ideas and goals, rather than spending so much time finding the necessary resources. The unique characteristic about I&E is that it's not limited to undergraduate and graduate students, it's for everyone. &nbsp;&nbsp;</span></span></span><br />
<br />

<br />
<span style="font-size:medium"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><span style="background-color: transparent; white-space: pre-wrap; line-height: 1.15">By providing a council and infrastructure for I&E to operate under, new students will not have to worry about finding resources or connections (because they will already be provided). They will be able to just focus on the movement and their ideas, goals, and design processes. It will make the entrepreneurial experience less of a trial-and-error process, and more success stories will come out of the Georgia Tech entrepreneurial landscape. In addition, it will create a foundation on campus for other I&E movements to be built upon.</span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size:medium"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><span id="docs-internal-guid-b8f4746e-3803-f30d-1416-ab1a1432bbbe"><span style="background-color: transparent; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap">Through the University Innovation Council, students and faculty will be able to grow the I&E movement on campus together, as well as facilitate other movements going forward. This means that they will become more reliant on, and trusting of, each other. If both students and faculty are invested in the same issue and working together to make change happen, Georgia Tech's campus landscape in I&E will continue to grow in the future, which will only perpetuate the success of the I&E campus.</span></span></span></span><br />

<div><p style="text-align: justify;">[[File:HanSung Kim Profile.jpg|thumb|HanSung Kim Profile.jpg]]HanSung (also goes by the name Eric) is a second-year Mechanical Engineering student at the Georgia Institute of Technology. His interests include space exploration, sustainability, renewable energy, design thinking, information technology and politics. He is always seeking opportunities to meet new people and gain different perspectives on issues. His goal in life is to become an entrepreneur that leads innovation, but also advocates for social causes.&nbsp;</p><br />
HanSung is a prototyping at the Invention Studio at Georgia Tech, the only entirely student-run university makerspace in the US. He trains new users of the makerspace to use the tools provided in the space and advises them on how to go about making their prototypes. He enjoys working with people to create prototypes and see ideas come to life.<br />
<br />
In addition to working at the makerspace, HanSung works as a workshop and curriculum designer at the Innovation and Design Collaborate at Georgia Tech (also known as the ‘Design’ Bloc’). As a part of this, he creates and runs workshops for the club Design for America on his campus, where he teaches people about design thinking and how to apply design thinking to social problems within the community.<br />
<br />
In his free time HanSung likes to make random toys with 3D printers, play video games, and play tennis. One of his goals is to travel to as many countries as possible in his life and to achieve that, he will be studying abroad in France for Fall 2018.<br />

<span style="font-size:medium">The primary priorities for this year are to:</span><br />
<br />
#<span style="font-size:medium">Teach students to be more innovative, by involving the industry in all capstone projects and internships.</span><br />
#<font size="3">Build a sustainable and accesible resource center for first time innovators and entrepreneurs.</font><br />
#<span style="font-size:medium">Create student-company partnerships that allow both parties to learn and engage with one another.&nbsp;</span><br />

<br />
*<span style="font-size:medium">Validate the idea through more thorough faculty and student interviews.</span><br />
*<span style="font-size:medium"><span style="font-size:medium">Incentivize better capstone projects and more student effort into them by introducing the industry involvement of potential employers.</span></span><br />
*<span style="font-size:medium"><span style="font-size:medium">Get a system where both professors and the respective industry professionals have access to the work done by student teams.</span></span><br />
*<span style="font-size:medium"><span style="font-size:medium">Get those industry professionals on campus for capstone judging.</span></span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size:medium">&nbsp;We believe GT students can change the world. Our campus offers many resources, and even better faculty, to help innovation and creativity on campus. We need to connect the GT community by creating an umbrella organization to help students flow toward these resources on campus, and create channels for student-faculty relationships.&nbsp;</span><br />

<span style="font-size:medium"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><span style="background-color: transparent; white-space: pre-wrap; line-height: 1">Despite the many great resources Georgia Tech currently has, the innovation and entrepreneurial movement, which is currently overtaking the nation, has been stalled on our campus due to lack of organization.</span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size:medium"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><span style="background-color: transparent; white-space: pre-wrap; line-height: 1">Students are unsure of, and mostly unaware of, the opportunities available to them beyond big-name resources such as [http://inventionstudio.gatech.edu/ the Invention Studio] or the [http://inventureprize.gatech.edu/ inVenture Prize] competition.</span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size:medium"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><span style="background-color: transparent; white-space: pre-wrap; line-height: 1">Organizations are struggling to grow, hold large events, or simply stay operational, because of a lack of assisted communication and constant overlap.</span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size:medium"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><span style="background-color: transparent; white-space: pre-wrap; line-height: 1">Professors are additionally wasting large amounts of time trying to connect with students, due to a lack of protocol and standardized connection.</span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size:medium"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><span style="background-color: transparent; white-space: pre-wrap; line-height: 1">Our program will exist to foster a passion and create sustainability for innovation and entrepreneurship (I&E) among all members of the Georgia Tech community.</span></span></span><br />

<span style="font-size:medium"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><span style="background-color: transparent; white-space: pre-wrap; line-height: 1">The University Innovation Council will support three main areas: the student body, current campus organizations, and faculty/administration.

<span style="font-size:medium"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><span id="docs-internal-guid-b8f4746e-3803-f30d-1416-ab1a1432bbbe"><span style="background-color: transparent; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap">Through the University Innovation Council, student-faculty interaction will be facilitated in three main ways:</span></span></span></span><br />
<br />
#<span style="font-size:medium"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><span id="docs-internal-guid-b8f4746e-3803-f30d-1416-ab1a1432bbbe"><span style="background-color: transparent; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap">Students interested in getting involved with the I&E movement will be directly connected with a professor based on their ideas, needs, and goals. This introduction will save valuable time for the student by removing the searching process. This will also save time for the professor by introducing them to a student who is serious about their work and eager to network.</span></span></span></span><br />
#<span style="font-size:medium"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><span id="docs-internal-guid-b8f4746e-3803-f30d-1416-ab1a1432bbbe"><span style="background-color: transparent; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap">Faculty will be able to directly interact and engage with movements on campus that organizations and students are working on. Instead of being directed by several groups of people, faculty members will know all I&E-related movements are being directed by the University Innovation Council.</span></span></span></span><br />
#<span style="font-size:medium"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><span id="docs-internal-guid-b8f4746e-3803-f30d-1416-ab1a1432bbbe"><span style="background-color: transparent; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap">Resources for both students and faculty will be maximized due to a new lack of overlap. The process of starting an I&E movement will have the ability to become streamlined, through its implementation in our organization.</span></span></span></span><br />
<br />
= <font face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif" size="6"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap">Wide Net Impact</span></font> =<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size:medium"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><span id="docs-internal-guid-b8f4746e-3803-f30d-1416-ab1a1432bbbe"><span style="background-color: transparent; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap">By creating a centralized hub, the University Innovation Council will be able to run all I&E movements that Georgia Tech is starting. Our organization, the University Innovation Council, is one that will exist for the betterment of the entire university; not just one major, one club, or even one type of student.</span></span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size:medium"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><span style="background-color: transparent; white-space: pre-wrap; line-height: 1.15">Many undergraduate students have been inspired to create projects and invent in their classes and many graduate students have also been encouraged to turn their research and theses into entrepreneurial companies. This organization would really help graduate students network with undergraduates to easily allocate research positions, internships, and special projects, as well as vice-versa. It is a much more desirable way for them to see what undergraduate students are passionate about, instead of just going off of resumes and shallow connections.</span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size:medium"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><span style="background-color: transparent; white-space: pre-wrap; line-height: 1.15">Again, by providing an overarching umbrella, students will be able to focus on their ideas and goals, rather than spending so much time finding the necessary resources. The unique characteristic about I&E is that it's not limited to undergraduate and graduate students, it's for everyone. &nbsp;&nbsp;</span></span></span><br />
<br />
= <font face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif" size="6"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap">Sustainable Impact</span></font> =<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size:medium"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><span style="background-color: transparent; white-space: pre-wrap; line-height: 1.15">By providing a council and infrastructure for I&E to operate under, new students will not have to worry about finding resources or connections (because they will already be provided). They will be able to just focus on the movement and their ideas, goals, and design processes. It will make the entrepreneurial experience less of a trial-and-error process, and more success stories will come out of the Georgia Tech entrepreneurial landscape. In addition, it will create a foundation on campus for other I&E movements to be built upon.</span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size:medium"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><span id="docs-internal-guid-b8f4746e-3803-f30d-1416-ab1a1432bbbe"><span style="background-color: transparent; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap">Through the University Innovation Council, students and faculty will be able to grow the I&E movement on campus together, as well as facilitate other movements going forward. This means that they will become more reliant on, and trusting of, each other. If both students and faculty are invested in the same issue and working together to make change happen, Georgia Tech's campus landscape in I&E will continue to grow in the future, which will only perpetuate the success of the I&E campus.</span></span></span></span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size:medium"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><span style="background-color: transparent; white-space: pre-wrap; line-height: 1">Students are unsure of, and mostly unaware of, the opportunities available to them beyond big-name resources such as [http://inventionstudio.gatech.edu/ the Invention Studio] or the [http://inventureprize.gatech.edu/ inVenture Prize] competition.</span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size:medium"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><span style="background-color: transparent; white-space: pre-wrap; line-height: 1">Organizations are struggling to grow, hold large events, or simply stay operational, because of a lack of assisted communication and constant overlap.</span></span></span><br />

<br />
#<span style="font-size:medium"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><span id="docs-internal-guid-b8f4746e-3803-f30d-1416-ab1a1432bbbe"><span style="background-color: transparent; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap">Students interested in getting involved with the I&E movement will be directly connected with a professor based on their ideas, needs, and goals. This introduction will save valuable time for the student by removing the searching process. This will also save time for the professor by introducing them to a student who is serious about their work and eager to network.</span></span></span></span><br />
#<span style="font-size:medium"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><span id="docs-internal-guid-b8f4746e-3803-f30d-1416-ab1a1432bbbe"><span style="background-color: transparent; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap">Faculty will be able to directly interact and engage with movements on campus that organizations and students are working on. Instead of being directed by several groups of people, faculty members will know all I&E-related movements are being directed by the University Innovation Council.</span></span></span></span><br />
#<span style="font-size:medium"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><span id="docs-internal-guid-b8f4746e-3803-f30d-1416-ab1a1432bbbe"><span style="background-color: transparent; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap">Resources for both students and faculty will be maximized due to a new lack of overlap. The process of starting an I&E movement will have the ability to become streamlined, through its implementation in our organization.</span></span></span></span><br />
<br />

<br />
<span style="font-size:medium"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><span id="docs-internal-guid-b8f4746e-3803-f30d-1416-ab1a1432bbbe"><span style="background-color: transparent; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap">By creating a centralized hub, the University Innovation Council will be able to run all I&E movements that Georgia Tech is starting. Our organization, the University Innovation Council, is one that will exist for the betterment of the entire university; not just one major, one club, or even one type of student.</span></span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size:medium"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><span style="background-color: transparent; white-space: pre-wrap; line-height: 1.15">Many undergraduate students have been inspired to create projects and invent in their classes and many graduate students have also been encouraged to turn their research and theses into entrepreneurial companies. This organization would really help graduate students network with undergraduates to easily allocate research positions, internships, and special projects, as well as vice-versa. It is a much more desirable way for them to see what undergraduate students are passionate about, instead of just going off of resumes and shallow connections.</span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size:medium"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><span style="background-color: transparent; white-space: pre-wrap; line-height: 1.15">Again, by providing an overarching umbrella, students will be able to focus on their ideas and goals, rather than spending so much time finding the necessary resources. The unique characteristic about I&E is that it's not limited to undergraduate and graduate students, it's for everyone. &nbsp;&nbsp;</span></span></span><br />
<br />
= <font face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif" size="6"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap">Sustainable Impact</span></font> =<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size:medium"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><span style="background-color: transparent; white-space: pre-wrap; line-height: 1.15">By providing a council and infrastructure for I&E to operate under, new students will not have to worry about finding resources or connections (because they will already be provided). They will be able to just focus on the movement and their ideas, goals, and design processes. It will make the entrepreneurial experience less of a trial-and-error process, and more success stories will come out of the Georgia Tech entrepreneurial landscape. In addition, it will create a foundation on campus for other I&E movements to be built upon.</span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size:medium"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><span id="docs-internal-guid-b8f4746e-3803-f30d-1416-ab1a1432bbbe"><span style="background-color: transparent; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap">Through the University Innovation Council, students and faculty will be able to grow the I&E movement on campus together, as well as facilitate other movements going forward. This means that they will become more reliant on, and trusting of, each other. If both students and faculty are invested in the same issue and working together to make change happen, Georgia Tech's campus landscape in I&E will continue to grow in the future, which will only perpetuate the success of the I&E campus.</span></span></span></span><br />

<br />
#<span style="font-size:medium"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><span id="docs-internal-guid-b8f4746e-3803-f30d-1416-ab1a1432bbbe"><span style="background-color: transparent; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap">Students interested in getting involved with the I&E movement will be directly connected with a professor based on their ideas, needs, and goals. This introduction will save valuable time for the student by removing the searching process. This will also save time for the professor by introducing them to a student who is serious about their work and eager to network.</span></span></span></span><br />
#<span style="font-size:medium"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><span id="docs-internal-guid-b8f4746e-3803-f30d-1416-ab1a1432bbbe"><span style="background-color: transparent; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap">Faculty will be able to directly interact and engage with movements on campus that organizations and students are working on. Instead of being directed by several groups of people, faculty members will know all I&E-related movements are being directed by the University Innovation Council.</span></span></span></span><br />
#<span style="font-size:medium"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><span id="docs-internal-guid-b8f4746e-3803-f30d-1416-ab1a1432bbbe"><span style="background-color: transparent; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap">Resources for both students and faculty will be maximized due to a new lack of overlap. The process of starting an I&E movement will have the ability to become streamlined, through its implementation in our organization.</span></span></span></span><br />

<span style="font-size:medium"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><span id="docs-internal-guid-b8f4746e-3803-f30d-1416-ab1a1432bbbe"><span style="background-color: transparent; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap">By creating a centralized hub, the University Innovation Council will be able to run all I&E movements that Georgia Tech is starting. Our organization, the University Innovation Council, is one that will exist for the betterment of the entire university; not just one major, one club, or even one type of student.</span></span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size:medium"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><span style="background-color: transparent; white-space: pre-wrap; line-height: 1.15">Many undergraduate students have been inspired to create projects and invent in their classes and many graduate students have also been encouraged to turn their research and theses into entrepreneurial companies. This organization would really help graduate students network with undergraduates to easily allocate research positions, internships, and special projects, as well as vice-versa. It is a much more desirable way for them to see what undergraduate students are passionate about, instead of just going off of resumes and shallow connections.</span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size:medium"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><span style="background-color: transparent; white-space: pre-wrap; line-height: 1.15">Again, by providing an overarching umbrella, students will be able to focus on their ideas and goals, rather than spending so much time finding the necessary resources. The unique characteristic about I&E is that it's not limited to undergraduate and graduate students, it's for everyone. &nbsp;&nbsp;</span></span></span><br />
<br />
= <font face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif" size="6"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap">Sustainable Impact</span></font> =<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size:medium"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><span style="background-color: transparent; white-space: pre-wrap; line-height: 1.15">By providing a council and infrastructure for I&E to operate under, new students will not have to worry about finding resources or connections (because they will already be provided). They will be able to just focus on the movement and their ideas, goals, and design processes. It will make the entrepreneurial experience less of a trial-and-error process, and more success stories will come out of the Georgia Tech entrepreneurial landscape. In addition, it will create a foundation on campus for other I&E movements to be built upon.</span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size:medium"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><span id="docs-internal-guid-b8f4746e-3803-f30d-1416-ab1a1432bbbe"><span style="background-color: transparent; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap">Through the University Innovation Council, students and faculty will be able to grow the I&E movement on campus together, as well as facilitate other movements going forward. This means that they will become more reliant on, and trusting of, each other. If both students and faculty are invested in the same issue and working together to make change happen, Georgia Tech's campus landscape in I&E will continue to grow in the future, which will only perpetuate the success of the I&E campus.</span></span></span></span><br />

#<span style="font-size:medium"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><span id="docs-internal-guid-b8f4746e-3803-f30d-1416-ab1a1432bbbe"><span style="background-color: transparent; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap">Students interested in getting involved with the I&E movement will be directly connected with a professor based on their ideas, needs, and goals. This introduction will save valuable time for the student by removing the searching process. This will also save time for the professor by introducing them to a student who is serious about their work and eager to network.</span></span></span></span><br />
#<span style="font-size:medium"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><span id="docs-internal-guid-b8f4746e-3803-f30d-1416-ab1a1432bbbe"><span style="background-color: transparent; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap">Faculty will be able to directly interact and engage with movements on campus that organizations and students are working on. Instead of being directed by several groups of people, faculty members will know all I&E-related movements are being directed by the University Innovation Council.</span></span></span></span><br />
#<span style="font-size:medium"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><span id="docs-internal-guid-b8f4746e-3803-f30d-1416-ab1a1432bbbe"><span style="background-color: transparent; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap">Resources for both students and faculty will be maximized due to a new lack of overlap.

Our organization, the University Innovation Council, is one that will exist for the betterment of the entire university; not just one major, one club, or even one type of student.</span></span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size:medium"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><span style="background-color: transparent; white-space: pre-wrap; line-height: 1.15">Many undergraduate students have been inspired to create projects and invent in their classes and many graduate students have also been encouraged to turn their research and theses into entrepreneurial companies. This organization would really help graduate students network with undergraduates to easily allocate research positions, internships, and special projects, as well as vice-versa. It is a much more desirable way for them to see what undergraduate students are passionate about, instead of just going off of resumes and shallow connections.</span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size:medium"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><span style="background-color: transparent; white-space: pre-wrap; line-height: 1.15">Again, by providing an overarching umbrella, students will be able to focus on their ideas and goals, rather than spending so much time finding the necessary resources. The unique characteristic about I&E is that it's not limited to undergraduate and graduate students, it's for everyone. &nbsp;&nbsp;</span></span></span><br />
<br />

<br />
<span style="font-size:medium"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><span style="background-color: transparent; white-space: pre-wrap; line-height: 1.15">By providing a council and infrastructure for I&E to operate under, new students will not have to worry about finding resources or connections (because they will already be provided). They will be able to just focus on the movement and their ideas, goals, and design processes. It will make the entrepreneurial experience less of a trial-and-error process, and more success stories will come out of the Georgia Tech entrepreneurial landscape. In addition, it will create a foundation on campus for other I&E movements to be built upon.</span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size:medium"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><span id="docs-internal-guid-b8f4746e-3803-f30d-1416-ab1a1432bbbe"><span style="background-color: transparent; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap">Through the University Innovation Council, students and faculty will be able to grow the I&E movement on campus together, as well as facilitate other movements going forward. This means that they will become more reliant on, and trusting of, each other. If both students and faculty are invested in the same issue and working together to make change happen, Georgia Tech's campus landscape in I&E will continue to grow in the future, which will only perpetuate the success of the I&E campus.</span></span></span></span><br />

<div>= Developing a Diversity Workshop =<br />
<br />
&nbsp;<br />
<br />
== 1. INTRODUCTION: ==<br />
<br />
DIVERSITY DEFINED: Variance in ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, and perspective of individuals. For the purpose of a diversity workshop, it is important to specifically define the type of diversity that will be the focus of the presentation.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<br />
<br />
&nbsp;<br />
<br />
== 2. ORGANIZING DIVERSITY: ==<br />
<br />
Organizing diversity workshops is a challenging undertaking. Whether the event takes place among coworkers, classmates or community members, the likelihood that tension will arise is high. The point of such a workshop is to help participants understand diversity’s significance and how to relate to each other more respectfully as a result.<br />
<br />
Fortunately, you can take several steps to prevent your diversity workshop from flopping. They include:<br />
<br />
*Setting ground rules<br />
*Strategic Plans<br />
*Creating a Diversity Community<br />
*Become Involved in the Community<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
== 3. GROUND RULES CAN HELP CREATE A SAFE ENVIRONMENT: ==<br />
<br />
Before you begin the workshop, establish ground rules to make the environment one in which everyone feels comfortable sharing. Ground rules don’t have to be complicated and should be limited to about five or six to make them easy to remember. Post the ground rules in a central location so that everyone can see them. To help workshop attendees feel invested in the sessions, include their input when creating ground rules. Below is a list of guidelines to consider during a diversity session.<br />
<br />
*Personal information shared during the workshop remains confidential.<br />
*No talking over others.<br />
*Disagree respectfully rather than with put-downs or judgmental criticism.<br />
*Don’t give feedback to others unless you are asked specifically to do so.<br />
*Refrain from making generalizations or invoking stereotypes about groups<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
== 4. DIVERSITY PROGRAMS MUST BE ALIGNED WITH STRATEGIC PLANS: ==<br />
<br />
One of the keys to the long-term success of a diversity program is to develop a diversity strategy using the same deliberate goal-setting processes used to formulate traditional business-related goals. Strategic plans around diversity should include quantitative goals along with specific timelines for reaching benchmarks and measuring progress, all of which provide direction and promote action by employees. And, having a well-defined strategy will help your business attain its goals, whether those goals are to provide better service to clients, create a more inclusive workplace culture, recruit and retain highly-qualified and talented diverse employees, and/or implement programs which will create a pipeline of talent for the future.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
== 5. CREATE A DIVERSITY COMMITTEE: ==<br />
<br />
Employee buy-in is essential to accomplishing the goals of your diversity program. One way to achieve this buy-in is to create a stand-alone diversity committee comprised of members representing all facets of your organization’s workforce, not just your top executives, and make sure your organization’s leadership plays a visible role. Empower the diversity committee to develop a diversity statement which is consistent with your strategic goals and empower the committee to develop programs to support diversity. Such programs may include lunch and learns with featured speakers, diversity workshops, mentoring, community outreach programs and the creation of workplace affinity and employee resource groups.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
== 5. BECOME INVOLVED IN THE COMMUNITY: ==<br />
<br />
Encourage employees to participate in professional and civic organizations that promote diversity. Involvement with these organizations not only provides excellent networking opportunities, it also fosters collaborations that may enhance access to a larger pool of diverse candidates. Community involvement has the added benefit of strengthening relationship among employees as they come together to serve groups they are passionate about.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
== 6. EFFECTIVENESS OF HAVING DIVERSITY IN WORKFORCE: ==<br />
<br />
A more diverse workforce will increase organizational effectiveness. It will lift morale, bring greater access to new segments of the marketplace, and enhance productivity. In short, they claim, diversity will be good for business.<br />
<br />
&nbsp;<br />
<br />
== 7. IMPORTANCE OF MANAGING DIVERSITY: ==<br />
<br />
As the workplaces of today are getting more and more diverse, the need of managing the diverse workfare is increasing. So it is becoming important for the workshops manage the diversity to get better results out of employees.&nbsp; Organizations have recognized that competing successfully in the new global marketplace requires more than the latest technology, most efficient production processes, or most innovative products. Competitive strength is increasingly contingent on human resources. Competing to win in the global economy will require an ability to attract, retain, motivate and develop high- potential employees of both genders from a variety of cultural and ethnic backgrounds.<br />
<br />
&nbsp;<br />
<br />
== 8. CONCLUSION: ==<br />
<br />
Diversity in workforce is growing in all countries. With having more diverse work environment organization can produce better performance. It is important for the companies to know diversity and how to handle the issues relating to it. Also the need of the diverse workforce is getting more not only because there are different people but also because they can produce better results with having different types of people working. Leaders in the organizations should learn diversity (differences of gender, age, sex and religion in their work environment and also to communicate will between them) and how to manage it effectively.<br />

Leaders in the organizations should learn diversity (differences of gender, age, sex and religion in their work environment and also to communicate will between them) and how to manage it effectively.<br />

<br />
== 1. INTRODUCTION: ==<br />
<br />
DIVERSITY DEFINED: Variance in ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, and perspective of individuals. For the purpose of a diversity workshop, it is important to specifically define the type of diversity that will be the focus of the presentation.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<br />
<br />
&nbsp;<br />
<br />
== 2. ORGANIZING DIVERSITY: ==<br />
<br />
Organizing diversity workshops is a challenging undertaking. Whether the event takes place among coworkers, classmates or community members, the likelihood that tension will arise is high. The point of such a workshop is to help participants understand diversity’s significance and how to relate to each other more respectfully as a result.<br />
<br />
Fortunately, you can take several steps to prevent your diversity workshop from flopping. They include:<br />
<br />
*Setting ground rules<br />
*Strategic Plans<br />
*Creating a Diversity Community<br />
*Become Involved in the Community<br />
<br />
== 3. GROUND RULES CAN HELP CREATE A SAFE ENVIRONMENT: ==<br />
<br />
Before you begin the workshop, establish ground rules to make the environment one in which everyone feels comfortable sharing. Ground rules don’t have to be complicated and should be limited to about five or six to make them easy to remember. Post the ground rules in a central location so that everyone can see them. To help workshop attendees feel invested in the sessions, include their input when creating ground rules. Below is a list of guidelines to consider during a diversity session.<br />
<br />
*Personal information shared during the workshop remains confidential.<br />
*No talking over others.<br />
*Disagree respectfully rather than with put-downs or judgmental criticism.<br />
*Don’t give feedback to others unless you are asked specifically to do so.<br />
*Refrain from making generalizations or invoking stereotypes about groups<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
&nbsp;<br />
<br />
== 4. DIVERSITY PROGRAMS MUST BE ALIGNED WITH STRATEGIC PLANS: ==<br />
<br />
One of the keys to the long-term success of a diversity program is to develop a diversity strategy using the same deliberate goal-setting processes used to formulate traditional business-related goals. Strategic plans around diversity should include quantitative goals along with specific timelines for reaching benchmarks and measuring progress, all of which provide direction and promote action by employees. And, having a well-defined strategy will help your business attain its goals, whether those goals are to provide better service to clients, create a more inclusive workplace culture, recruit and retain highly-qualified and talented diverse employees, and/or implement programs which will create a pipeline of talent for the future.<br />
<br />
== 5. CREATE A DIVERSITY COMMITTEE: ==<br />
<br />
Employee buy-in is essential to accomplishing the goals of your diversity program. One way to achieve this buy-in is to create a stand-alone diversity committee comprised of members representing all facets of your organization’s workforce, not just your top executives, and make sure your organization’s leadership plays a visible role. Empower the diversity committee to develop a diversity statement which is consistent with your strategic goals and empower the committee to develop programs to support diversity. Such programs may include lunch and learns with featured speakers, diversity workshops, mentoring, community outreach programs and the creation of workplace affinity and employee resource groups.<br />
<br />
== 5. BECOME INVOLVED IN THE COMMUNITY: ==<br />
<br />
Encourage employees to participate in professional and civic organizations that promote diversity. Involvement with these organizations not only provides excellent networking opportunities, it also fosters collaborations that may enhance access to a larger pool of diverse candidates. Community involvement has the added benefit of strengthening relationship among employees as they come together to serve groups they are passionate about.<br />
<br />
== 6. EFFECTIVENESS OF HAVING DIVERSITY IN WORKFORCE: ==<br />
<br />
A more diverse workforce will increase organizational effectiveness. It will lift morale, bring greater access to new segments of the marketplace, and enhance productivity. In short, they claim, diversity will be good for business.<br />
<br />
&nbsp;<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
&nbsp;<br />
<br />
== 7. IMPORTANCE OF MANAGING DIVERSITY: ==<br />
<br />
As the workplaces of today are getting more and more diverse, the need of managing the diverse workfare is increasing. So it is becoming important for the workshops manage the diversity to get better results out of employees.&nbsp; Organizations have recognized that competing successfully in the new global marketplace requires more than the latest technology, most efficient production processes, or most innovative products. Competitive strength is increasingly contingent on human resources. Competing to win in the global economy will require an ability to attract, retain, motivate and develop high- potential employees of both genders from a variety of cultural and ethnic backgrounds.<br />
<br />
&nbsp;<br />
<br />
== 8. CONCLUSION: ==<br />
<br />
Diversity in workforce is growing in all countries. With having more diverse work environment organization can produce better performance. It is important for the companies to know diversity and how to handle the issues relating to it. Also the need of the diverse workforce is getting more not only because there are different people but also because they can produce better results with having different types of people working. Leaders in the organizations should learn diversity (differences of gender, age, sex and religion in their work environment and also to communicate will between them) and how to manage it effectively.<br />

<br />
1. INTRODUCTION:<br />
<br />
DIVERSITY DEFINED: Variance in ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, and perspective of individuals. For the purpose of a diversity workshop, it is important to specifically define the type of diversity that will be the focus of the presentation.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<br />
<br />
&nbsp;<br />
<br />
2. ORGANIZING DIVERSITY:<br />
<br />
Organizing diversity workshops is a challenging undertaking. Whether the event takes place among coworkers, classmates or community members, the likelihood that tension will arise is high. The point of such a workshop is to help participants understand diversity’s significance and how to relate to each other more respectfully as a result.<br />
<br />
Fortunately, you can take several steps to prevent your diversity workshop from flopping. They include:<br />
<br />
Setting ground rules<br />
<br />
Strategic Plans<br />
<br />
Creating a Diversity Community<br />
<br />
Become Involved in the Community<br />
<br />
.3. GROUND RULES CAN HELP CREATE A SAFE ENVIRONMENT:<br />
<br />
Before you begin the workshop, establish ground rules to make the environment one in which everyone feels comfortable sharing. Ground rules don’t have to be complicated and should be limited to about five or six to make them easy to remember. Post the ground rules in a central location so that everyone can see them. To help workshop attendees feel invested in the sessions, include their input when creating ground rules. Below is a list of guidelines to consider during a diversity session.<br />
<br />
Personal information shared during the workshop remains confidential.<br />
<br />
No talking over others.<br />
<br />
Disagree respectfully rather than with put-downs or judgmental criticism.<br />
<br />
Don’t give feedback to others unless you are asked specifically to do so.<br />
<br />
Refrain from making generalizations or invoking stereotypes about groups<br/>&nbsp;<br />
<br />
4. DIVERSITY PROGRAMS MUST BE ALIGNED WITH STRATEGIC PLANS:<br />
<br />
One of the keys to the long-term success of a diversity program is to develop a diversity strategy using the same deliberate goal-setting processes used to formulate traditional business-related goals. Strategic plans around diversity should include quantitative goals along with specific timelines for reaching benchmarks and measuring progress, all of which provide direction and promote action by employees. And, having a well-defined strategy will help your business attain its goals, whether those goals are to provide better service to clients, create a more inclusive workplace culture, recruit and retain highly-qualified and talented diverse employees, and/or implement programs which will create a pipeline of talent for the future.<br />
<br />
5. CREATE A DIVERSITY COMMITTEE:<br />
<br />
Employee buy-in is essential to accomplishing the goals of your diversity program. One way to achieve this buy-in is to create a stand-alone diversity committee comprised of members representing all facets of your organization’s workforce, not just your top executives, and make sure your organization’s leadership plays a visible role. Empower the diversity committee to develop a diversity statement which is consistent with your strategic goals and empower the committee to develop programs to support diversity. Such programs may include lunch and learns with featured speakers, diversity workshops, mentoring, community outreach programs and the creation of workplace affinity and employee resource groups.<br />
<br />
5. BECOME INVOLVED IN THE COMMUNITY:<br />
<br />
Encourage employees to participate in professional and civic organizations that promote diversity. Involvement with these organizations not only provides excellent networking opportunities, it also fosters collaborations that may enhance access to a larger pool of diverse candidates. Community involvement has the added benefit of strengthening relationship among employees as they come together to serve groups they are passionate about.<br />
<br />
6. EFFECTIVENESS OF HAVING DIVERSITY IN WORKFORCE:<br />
<br />
A more diverse workforce will increase organizational effectiveness. It will lift morale, bring greater access to new segments of the marketplace, and enhance productivity. In short, they claim, diversity will be good for business.<br />
<br />

DIVERSITY DEFINED: Variance in ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, and perspective of individuals. For the purpose of a diversity workshop, it is important to specifically define the type of diversity that will be the focus of the presentation.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<br />
<br />
&nbsp;<br />
<br />
2. ORGANIZING DIVERSITY:<br />
<br />
Organizing diversity workshops is a challenging undertaking. Whether the event takes place among coworkers, classmates or community members, the likelihood that tension will arise is high. The point of such a workshop is to help participants understand diversity’s significance and how to relate to each other more respectfully as a result.<br />
<br />
Fortunately, you can take several steps to prevent your diversity workshop from flopping. They include:<br />
<br />
Setting ground rules<br />
<br />
Strategic Plans<br />
<br />
Creating a Diversity Community<br />
<br />
Become Involved in the Community<br />
<br />
.3. GROUND RULES CAN HELP CREATE A SAFE ENVIRONMENT:<br />
<br />
Before you begin the workshop, establish ground rules to make the environment one in which everyone feels comfortable sharing. Ground rules don’t have to be complicated and should be limited to about five or six to make them easy to remember. Post the ground rules in a central location so that everyone can see them. To help workshop attendees feel invested in the sessions, include their input when creating ground rules. Below is a list of guidelines to consider during a diversity session.<br />
<br />
Personal information shared during the workshop remains confidential.<br />
<br />
No talking over others.<br />
<br />
Disagree respectfully rather than with put-downs or judgmental criticism.<br />
<br />
Don’t give feedback to others unless you are asked specifically to do so.<br />
<br />
Refrain from making generalizations or invoking stereotypes about groups<br/>&nbsp;<br />
<br />
4. DIVERSITY PROGRAMS MUST BE ALIGNED WITH STRATEGIC PLANS:<br />
<br />
One of the keys to the long-term success of a diversity program is to develop a diversity strategy using the same deliberate goal-setting processes used to formulate traditional business-related goals. Strategic plans around diversity should include quantitative goals along with specific timelines for reaching benchmarks and measuring progress, all of which provide direction and promote action by employees. And, having a well-defined strategy will help your business attain its goals, whether those goals are to provide better service to clients, create a more inclusive workplace culture, recruit and retain highly-qualified and talented diverse employees, and/or implement programs which will create a pipeline of talent for the future.<br />
<br />
5. CREATE A DIVERSITY COMMITTEE:<br />
<br />
Employee buy-in is essential to accomplishing the goals of your diversity program. One way to achieve this buy-in is to create a stand-alone diversity committee comprised of members representing all facets of your organization’s workforce, not just your top executives, and make sure your organization’s leadership plays a visible role. Empower the diversity committee to develop a diversity statement which is consistent with your strategic goals and empower the committee to develop programs to support diversity. Such programs may include lunch and learns with featured speakers, diversity workshops, mentoring, community outreach programs and the creation of workplace affinity and employee resource groups.<br />
<br />
5. BECOME INVOLVED IN THE COMMUNITY:<br />
<br />
Encourage employees to participate in professional and civic organizations that promote diversity. Involvement with these organizations not only provides excellent networking opportunities, it also fosters collaborations that may enhance access to a larger pool of diverse candidates. Community involvement has the added benefit of strengthening relationship among employees as they come together to serve groups they are passionate about.<br />
<br />
6. EFFECTIVENESS OF HAVING DIVERSITY IN WORKFORCE:<br />
<br />
A more diverse workforce will increase organizational effectiveness. It will lift morale, bring greater access to new segments of the marketplace, and enhance productivity. In short, they claim, diversity will be good for business.<br />
<br />
&nbsp;<br/>&nbsp;<br />
<br />
7. IMPORTANCE OF MANAGING DIVERSITY:<br />
<br />
As the workplaces of today are getting more and more diverse, the need of managing the diverse workfare is increasing. So it is becoming important for the workshops manage the diversity to get better results out of employees.&nbsp; Organizations have recognized that competing successfully in the new global marketplace requires more than the latest technology, most efficient production processes, or most innovative products. Competitive strength is increasingly contingent on human resources. Competing to win in the global economy will require an ability to attract, retain, motivate and develop high- potential employees of both genders from a variety of cultural and ethnic backgrounds.<br />
<br />
&nbsp;<br />
<br />
8. CONCLUSION:<br />
<br />
Diversity in workforce is growing in all countries. With having more diverse work environment organization can produce better performance. It is important for the companies to know diversity and how to handle the issues relating to it. Also the need of the diverse workforce is getting more not only because there are different people but also because they can produce better results with having different types of people working. Leaders in the organizations should learn diversity (differences of gender, age, sex and religion in their work environment and also to communicate will between them) and how to manage it effectively.<br />

Ground rules don’t have to be complicated and should be limited to about five or six to make them easy to remember. Post the ground rules in a central location so that everyone can see them. To help workshop attendees feel invested in the sessions, include their input when creating ground rules. Below is a list of guidelines to consider during a diversity session.</span></span><br />

<div><p style="text-align: justify;">[[File:HanSung Kim Profile.jpg|thumb]]HanSung (also goes by the name Eric) is a second-year Mechanical Engineering student at the Georgia Institute of Technology. His interests include space exploration, sustainability, renewable energy, design thinking, information technology and politics. He is always seeking opportunities to meet new people and gain different perspectives on issues. His goal in life is to become an entrepreneur that leads innovation, but also advocates for social causes.&nbsp;</p><br />
HanSung is a prototyping at the Invention Studio at Georgia Tech, the only entirely student-run university makerspace in the US. He trains new users of the makerspace to use the tools provided in the space and advises them on how to go about making their prototypes. He enjoys working with people to create prototypes and see ideas come to life.<br />
<br />
In addition to working at the makerspace, HanSung works as a workshop and curriculum designer at the Innovation and Design Collaborate at Georgia Tech (also known as the ‘Design’ Bloc’). As a part of this, he creates and runs workshops for the club Design for America on his campus, where he teaches people about design thinking and how to apply design thinking to social problems within the community.<br />
<br />
In his free time HanSung likes to make random toys with 3D printers, play video games, and play tennis. One of his goals is to travel to as many countries as possible in his life and to achieve that, he will be studying abroad in France for spring 2018.<br />
