<p>Jake Keasbey: </p> <hr /> <div>= The Strategic Plan =<br /> <br /> ----<br /> <br /> The following list of strategies tactics, and goals for the entrepreneurial students and faculty at Norwich University.<br /> <br /> == Strategy #1: Growing The Entrepreneurship and Innovation Club ==<br /> <br /> ----<br /> <br /> Norwich has a great core group of students that are working extremely hard to grow the entrepreneurship and innovation ecosystem around campus. The club is working diligently on the strategies below, but with low club membership they can only tackle one idea at a time. Currently the club membership is composed of engineering and business students. With a growth in membership we could assess more ideas and open more opportunities for students to pursue their own ideas.&amp;nbsp;<br /> <br /> === Tactics and Dates: ===<br /> <br /> *Hosting a social event for students and faculty to mingle, ideate together, and collaborate on new opportunities available to the student body. - Spring 2014<br /> *Making connection with other student groups on campus that are interested in helping with the goal of growing the entrepreneurial ecosystem. - By the start of the fall semester 2014<br /> *Start promoting new classes in entrepreneurship in hopes that education in what entrepreneurship is will grow interest in the clubs ideas. - A main goal of the club for the foreseeable future<br /> *Reach out to professors of all disciplines so that they will recommend students who show promise in entrepreneurship and innovation. - Spring and Fall 2014<br /> *Start a better propaganda campaign. Currently the club does little for publicity and if we could find ways to better reach students without being an inconvenience we could see a growth in interest. - Fall 2014<br /> *Bring in speakers that will connect with students without the large lecture setting. Students are more likely to engage the speaker an learn from them in a smaller classroom like setting. - Fall 2014<br /> *Plan more trips to local businesses and innovation centers to learn about what happens in the real world and see it first hand. - Spring and Fall 2014<br /> <br /> == Strategy #2: Host More Events That Engage Students in Entrepreneurship and Innovation ==<br /> <br /> ----<br /> <br /> The current speaker series is great and students who are interested in the topics often come away inspired. It would be great to bring in speakers that not only lecture about their work but also engage in the students work. Students could have more opportunities to pitch ideas to industry professionals and receive feed back on those ideas. The speakers could also bring an interactive session element, where the student is working on small problems or projects to help promote entrepreneurship and innovation.&amp;nbsp;<br /> <br /> == Strategy #3: Offer an Entrepreneurship Minor ==<br /> <br /> ----<br /> <br /> Student interest in entrepreneurship is high all across the nation, and education is this field will promote great things for the university. The minor will help educate students&amp;nbsp;on the ins and outs of owning their own company. With this education students could leave Norwich ready to start their own business why’All also knowing the ways around their respective disciplines. Entrepreneurship could spark innovation and business connection for Norwich students and faculty.&amp;nbsp;<br /> <br /> == Strategy #4: Contact the Local Entrepreneurship Community and Get Involved ==<br /> <br /> ----<br /> <br /> Vermont is a great state for small business entrepreneurship. It would be great to involve our local community in the ideas we have for promoting entrepreneurship and innovation. The idea of owning your own business is growing and if students could engage in public workshops and in opening up resources for the community we could produce some great changes. Working with the local community on opening up new resources for students and community members alike is great for public relations!&amp;nbsp;<br /> <br /> == Strategy #5: Make Interdisciplinary Connections ==<br /> <br /> ----<br /> <br /> The small school community that Norwich offers is great for collaboration between disciplines. Students in the technology majors could work with business majors on starting business based around new and innovative technology. Nursing students who are looking to start their own home nursing service could learn aspects of business management from the business majors and can produce new ideas on how they can make the home nursing business run smoother. Arts and Architecture students could engage in new sustainable design with the engineering majors. When there is interaction between the students from different majors each student brings something great to the table and with this collaboration the possibilities are endless.&amp;nbsp;<br /> <br /> == Strategy #6: Designate a Creation Space for Students ==<br /> <br /> ----<br /> <br /> A space separate from school labs and classrooms will go a long way in promoting interdisciplinary collaboration. A place where students can go to ideate and prototype for their own ideas separate from the classroom. The space would offer an area for students to collaborate and test ideas without the pressure of getting a good grade or the stress failing. The student could do everything from coming up with an initial idea to getting ready to pitch the idea to an investor. The space could also offer time slots for work in the machine shop or with the 3D-printers so that the student with an idea can move forward in the design process.&amp;nbsp;<br /> <br /> === Tactics and Dates: ===<br /> <br /> *With a growth in the students interested in entrepreneurship and innovation the space would be a desired location. - Spring/Fall 2014 through Fall 2015&amp;nbsp;<br /> *When a student has an idea the space would be used to pursue that idea the tactic is to motivate students to pursue their own ideas. - Spring 2015 through Spring 2016<br /> *Talking with the undergraduate research department on ideas and possible funding. - Spring 2015<br /> *Find and collaborate with outside sources. Get the community involved and look for possible locations outside of the campus. - Fall 2015<br /> *Host a design competition for students to bring fourth their ideas on the space should look. - Spring 2016&amp;nbsp;<br /> *Contact alumni and other outside resources for funding and '''MAKE IT HAPPEN!!!&amp;nbsp;'''- Fall 2016 &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;<br /> <br /> == Strategy #7: Alumni ==<br /> <br /> ----<br /> <br /> The alumni base at Norwich is fantastic! We should look to make connections with alumni who have started their own companies. The alumni could help fund certain events and innovations. They could be guest speakers and judges for competitions. Alumni who have been in the same situations students with ideas and start-ups could connect and offer mentorship to the student entrepreneur.&amp;nbsp;<br /> <br /> === The Elevator Pitch ===<br /> <br /> ----<br /> <br /> [http://youtu.be/vEF9B4YHI7E Youtube Link to Elevator Pitch for Norwich I&amp;E]<br /> <br /> ==== Related Links ====<br /> <br /> ----<br /> <br /> [[Jacob Keasbey|Jacob Keasbey]]<br /> <br /> [[Norwich University|Norwich University&amp;nbsp;]]</div>

<p>Jake Keasbey: </p> <hr /> <div>'''University Innovation Fellowship Candidate'''<br /> <br /> [[File:Jake keasbey.jpg|thumb|Jake keasbey.jpg]]Jacob is an aspiring environmental engineering student with a passion for entrepreneurship. A freshman at Norwich University, Jacob is working towards his B.S. in Civil Engineering with a minor in Business Administration. Working closely with faculty from the Business School, the Engineering School, and the Arts and Architecture School, Jacob hopes to produce the first minor in entrepreneurship at Norwich University. Believing that innovation is a key driving force in entrepreneurship, Jacob looks to bridge the gaps between the three schools listed in order to produce a well-rounded entrepreneurship minor backed by innovation. An active member in the school community he also hopes to host more events on campus based around entrepreneurship. Beginning work as a University Innovation Fellowship Candidate, Jacob knows this is a great opportunity to improve his own and his university’s entrepreneurial mindset.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> ==== Related Links&amp;nbsp; ====<br /> <br /> ----<br /> <br /> [http://universityinnovation.org/index.php?title=Student_Changemakers:&amp;action=edit&amp;redlink=1 Student Changemakers]<br /> <br /> [[Norwich University|Norwich University]]<br /> <br /> [[Norwich University Student Priorities|Norwich University Student Priorities]]</div>

<p>Jake Keasbey: </p> <hr /> <div>= Introduction&amp;nbsp;[[File:NorwichLogo.png|thumb|NorwichLogo.png]] =<br /> <br /> ----<br /> <br /> Norwich University was founded in 1819 and is the oldest private military university in America. Today, the university offers both a Corps of Cadets and civilian lifestyle; the population of civilian students is growing. The university offers thirty diverse bachelor degrees from criminal justice to engineering to business management. Built on strong military traditions, the university offers great leadership development opportunities. The university has a small ecosystem for innovation and entrepreneurship. A growing student population is showing great interest in pursuing more innovation and entrepreneurship education opportunities. The university is supporting the efforts of those entrepreneurial minded students working to grow the support ecosystem and opportunities.<br /> <br /> == Perceived E&amp;I ==<br /> <br /> ----<br /> <br /> Norwich appears relatively strong from the standpoint of entrepreneurship and innovation (E&amp;I). Most majors stress the importance of E&amp;I and there are great events to inspire E&amp;I. Lecture series that are both major specific and open to all are often motivating and inspiring. There are also great opportunities to practice and further develop one's leadership skills. There are formal courses that provide opportunities to engage in entrepreneurial thinking. A growing E&amp;I club is hoping to increase engagement in the E&amp;I activities around campus. Opening new communication networks within the university and also with the surrounding area is a major goal of the Entrepreneurship and Innovation Club.<br /> <br /> == Potential E&amp;I ==<br /> <br /> ----<br /> <br /> The business school offers business management and leadership courses that convey E&amp;I risks and benefits. There are also many professors who own their own businesses or are engaged in great research projects. Clubs on campus that hold events relating to E&amp;I are relatively limited. The growing Entrepreneurship and Innovation Club is hoping to hold more events, sponsor student-led initiatives, and create a permanent E&amp;I space. In the Spring of 2014, one E&amp;I focused competition was held on campus.<br /> <br /> == Applied E&amp;I ==<br /> <br /> ----<br /> <br /> The university was founded on principles of experiential education. Many programs have significant lab requirements offering hands-on experiences. Every program requires a senior, capstone design project that is focused on the students' developing their own creative works. The capstone projects provide a great opportunity for E&amp;I activity to be incorporated or highlighted, but it is not required and varies greatly depending on the interests of the students. Formal laboratory courses provide great opportunities to gain hands-on experience, but do not necessarily provide opportunities for students to work on their own projects. A dedicated ideation / creation space, not scheduled for classes, may invite more students to apply E&amp;I principles in their pursuits. Our Career Development Center is very helpful at supporting students seeking paid, outside internships.<br /> <br /> == Realized E&amp;I ==<br /> <br /> ----<br /> <br /> Approximately 150k is set aside annually to support undergraduate student based research ideas. Students may seek funding to further research their ideas through a grant program that supports them as they commit to spend 10 weeks, full-time, in pursuit of their ideas. Students select a mentor of their choosing and have access to university labs and facilities.&amp;nbsp;<br /> <br /> == Reframing E&amp;I ==<br /> <br /> ----<br /> <br /> Many students have no idea that we are located in a top ten state for entrepreneurship ([http://accd.vermont.gov/business/start/entrepreneurship http://accd.vermont.gov/business/start/entrepreneurship]). From a reframing standpoint, there are many resources outside of the university (e.g. Start-Up Vermont, VCET, PeakPitch, The Generator) which are great services for regional entrepreneurs. Most professors are interested in their students' work and support and encourage the students as they network and seek growth opportunities for their ideas.<br /> <br /> === Landscape Canvas ===<br /> <br /> ----<br /> <br /> [https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Av7vJTO2J5_pdHhzb21xR1ZnSVNrZWJVZmU3bnVocmc&amp;usp=drive_web#gid=0 Norwich University Landscape Canvas&amp;nbsp;]<br /> <br /> ==== Related Links ====<br /> <br /> ----<br /> <br /> [[Jacob Keasbey|Jacob Keasbey]]<br /> <br /> [[Norwich University Student Priorities|Norwich University Student Priorities]]</div>

<p>Jake Keasbey: </p> <hr /> <div>= The Strategic Plan =<br /> <br /> ----<br /> <br /> The following list of strategies tactics, and goals for the entrepreneurial students and faculty at Norwich University.<br /> <br /> == Strategy #1: Growing The Entrepreneurship and Innovation Club ==<br /> <br /> ----<br /> <br /> Norwich has a great core group of students that are working extremely hard to grow the entrepreneurship and innovation ecosystem around campus. The club is working diligently on the strategies below, but with low club membership they can only tackle one idea at a time. Currently the club membership is composed of engineering and business students. With a growth in membership we could assess more ideas and open more opportunities for students to persue their own ideas.&amp;nbsp;<br /> <br /> === Tactics and Dates: ===<br /> <br /> *Hosting a social event for students and faculty to mingle, ideate together, and colaborate on new opportunities available to the student body. - Spring 2014<br /> *Making connection with other student groups on campus that are interested in helping with the goal of growing the entrepreneurial ecosystem. - By the start of the fall semester 2014<br /> *Start promoting new classes in entrepreneurship in hopes that education in what entrepreneurship is will grow intrest in the clubs ideas. - A main goal of the club for the foreseeable future<br /> *Reach out to professors of all disciplines so that they will recomend students who show promise in entrepreneurship and innovation. - Spring and Fall 2014<br /> *Start a better propoganda campaign. Currently the club does little for plublicity and if we could find ways to better reach students without being an inconvenience we could see a growth in interest. - Fall 2014<br /> *Bring in speakers that will connect with students without the large lecture setting. Students are more likely to engage the speaker an learn from them in a smaller classroom like setting. - Fall 2014<br /> *Plan more trips to local businesses and innovation centers to learn about what happens in the real world and see it first hand. - Spring and Fall 2014<br /> <br /> == Strategy #2: Host More Events That Engage Students in Entrepreneurship and Innovation ==<br /> <br /> ----<br /> <br /> The current speaker series is great and students who are interested in the topics often come away inspired. It would be great to bring in speakers that not only lecture about their work but also engage in the students work. Students could have more opportunities to pitch ideas to industry professionals and receive feed back on those ideas. The speakers could also bring an interactive session element, where the student is working on small problems or projects to help promote entrepreneurship and innovation.&amp;nbsp;<br /> <br /> == Strategy #3: Offer an Entrepreneurship Minor ==<br /> <br /> ----<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> == Strategy #4: Contact the Local Entrepreneurship Community and Get Involved ==<br /> <br /> ----<br /> <br /> Vermont is a great state for small business entrepreneurship. It would be great to involve our local community in the ideas we have for promoting entrepreneurship and innovation. The idea of owning your own business is growing and if students could engage in public workshops and in opening up resources for the community we could produce some great changes. Working with the local community on opening up new resources for students and community members alike is great for public relations!&amp;nbsp;<br /> <br /> == Strategy #5: Make Interdisciplinary Connections ==<br /> <br /> ----<br /> <br /> The small school community that Norwich offers is great for colaboration between disciplines. Students in the technology majors could work with business majors on starting business based around new and innovative technology. Nursing students who are looking to start their own home nursing service could learn aspects of business management from the business majors and can produce new ideas on how they can make the home nursing business run smoother. Arts and Architecture students could engage in new sustainable design with the engineering majors. When there is interaction between the students from different majors each student brings something great to the table and with this colaboration the possibilities are endless.&amp;nbsp;<br /> <br /> == Strategy #6: Designate a Creation Space for Students ==<br /> <br /> ----<br /> <br /> A space seperate from school labs and classrooms will go a long way in promoting interdisciplinary colaboration. A place where students can go to ideate and prototype for their own ideas seperate from the classroom. The space would offer an area for students to colaborate and test ideas without the presure of getting a good grade or the stress failing. The student could do everything from coming up with an itial idea to getting ready to pitch the idea to an investor. The space could also offer time slots for work in the machine shop or with the 3D-printers so that the student with an idea can move forward in the design process.&amp;nbsp;<br /> <br /> === Tactics and Dates: ===<br /> <br /> *With a growth in the students intrested in entrepreneurship and innovation the space would be a desired location. - Spring/Fall 2014 through Fall 2015&amp;nbsp;<br /> *When a student has an idea the space would be used to persue that idea the tactic is to motivate students to persue their own ideas. &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;- Spring 2015 through Spring 2016<br /> *Talking with the undergraduate reseach department on ideas and possible funding. - Spring 2015<br /> *Find and colaborate with outside sources. Get the community involved and look for possible locations outside of the campus. - Fall 2015<br /> *Host a design competiton for students to bring fourth their ideas on the space should look. - Spring 2016&amp;nbsp;<br /> *Contact alumni and other outside resources for funding and '''MAKE IT HAPPEN!!!&amp;nbsp;'''- Fall 2016 &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;<br /> <br /> == Strategy #7: Alumni ==<br /> <br /> ----<br /> <br /> The alumni base at Norwich is fantastic! We should look to make connections with alumni who have started their own companies. The alumni could help fund certain events and innovations. They could be guest speakers and judges for competitions. Alumni who have been in the same situations students with ideas and start-ups could connect and offer mentorship to the student entrepreneur.&amp;nbsp;<br /> <br /> ==== Related Links ====<br /> <br /> ----<br /> <br /> [[Jacob Keasbey|Jacob Keasbey]]<br /> <br /> [[Norwich University|Norwich University&amp;nbsp;]]</div>

Students are more likely to engage the speaker an learn from them in a smaller classroom like setting. &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; Fall 2014<br /> *Plan more trips to local businesses and innovation centers to learn about what happens in the real world and see it first hand. &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;Spring and Fall 2014<br /> <br /> == Strategy #2: Host More Events That Engage Students in Entrepreneurship and Innovation ==<br /> <br /> ----<br /> <br /> The current speaker series is great and students who are interested in the topics often come away inspired. It would be great to bring in speakers that not only lecture about their work but also engage in the students work. Students could have more opportunities to pitch ideas to industry professionals and receive feed back on those ideas. The speakers could also bring an interactive session element, where the student is working on small problems or projects to help promote entrepreneurship and innovation.&amp;nbsp;<br /> <br /> == Strategy #3: Offer an Entrepreneurship Minor ==<br /> <br /> ----<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> == Strategy #4: Contact the Local Entrepreneurship Community and Get Involved ==<br /> <br /> ----<br /> <br /> Vermont is a great state for small business entrepreneurship. It would be great to involve our local community in the ideas we have for promoting entrepreneurship and innovation. The idea of owning your own business is growing and if students could engage in public workshops and in opening up resources for the community we could produce some great changes. Working with the local community on opening up new resources for students and community members alike is great for public relations!&amp;nbsp;<br /> <br /> == Strategy #5: Make Interdisciplinary Connections ==<br /> <br /> ----<br /> <br /> The small school community that Norwich offers is great for colaboration between disciplines. Students in the technology majors could work with business majors on starting business based around new and innovative technology. Nursing students who are looking to start their own home nursing service could learn aspects of business management from the business majors and can produce new ideas on how they can make the home nursing business run smoother. Arts and Architecture students could engage in new sustainable design with the engineering majors. When there is interaction between the students from different majors each student brings something great to the table and with this colaboration the possibilities are endless.&amp;nbsp;<br /> <br /> == Strategy #6: Designate a Creation Space for Students ==<br /> <br /> ----<br /> <br /> A space seperate from school labs and classrooms will go a long way in promoting interdisciplinary colaboration. A place where students can go to ideate and prototype for their own ideas seperate from the classroom. The space would offer an area for students to colaborate and test ideas without the presure of getting a good grade or the stress failing. The student could do everything from coming up with an itial idea to getting ready to pitch the idea to an investor. The space could also offer time slots for work in the machine shop or with the 3D-printers so that the student with an idea can move forward in the design process.&amp;nbsp;<br /> <br /> === Tactics and Dates: ===<br /> <br /> *With a growth in the students intrested in entrepreneurship and innovation the space would be a desired location. - Spring/Fall 2014 through Fall 2015&amp;nbsp;<br /> *When a student has an idea the space would be used to persue that idea the tactic is to motivate students to persue their own ideas. &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;- Spring 2015 through Spring 2016<br /> *Talking with the undergraduate reseach department on ideas and possible funding. - Spring 2015<br /> *Find and colaborate with outside sources.

The club is working diligently on the strategies below, but with low club membership they can only tackle one idea at a time. Currently the club membership is composed of engineering and business students. With a growth in membership we could assess more ideas and open more opportunities for students to persue their own ideas.&amp;nbsp;<br /> <br /> === Tactics and Dates: ===<br /> <br /> *Hosting a social event for students and faculty to mingle, ideate together, and colaborate on new opportunities available to the student body.

Students are more likely to engage the speaker an learn from them in a smaller classroom like setting. &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; Fall 2014<br /> *Plan more trips to local businesses and innovation centers to learn about what happens in the real world and see it first hand. &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;Spring and Fall 2014<br /> <br /> == Strategy #2: Host More Events That Engage Students in Entrepreneurship and Innovation ==<br /> <br /> ----<br /> <br /> The current speaker series is great and students who are interested in the topics often come away inspired. It would be great to bring in speakers that not only lecture about their work but also engage in the students work. Students could have more opportunities to pitch ideas to industry professionals and receive feed back on those ideas. The speakers could also bring an interactive session element, where the student is working on small problems or projects to help promote entrepreneurship and innovation.&amp;nbsp;<br /> <br /> == Strategy #3: Offer an Entrepreneurship Minor ==<br /> <br /> ----<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> == Strategy #4: Contact the Local Entrepreneurship Community and Get Involved ==<br /> <br /> ----<br /> <br /> Vermont is a great state for small business entrepreneurship. It would be great to involve our local community in the ideas we have for promoting entrepreneurship and innovation. The idea of owning your own business is growing and if students could engage in public workshops and in opening up resources for the community we could produce some great changes. Working with the local community on opening up new resources for students and community members alike is great for public relations!&amp;nbsp;<br /> <br /> == Strategy #5: Make Interdisciplinary Connections ==<br /> <br /> ----<br /> <br /> The small school community that Norwich offers is great for colaboration between disciplines. Students in the technology majors could work with business majors on starting business based around new and innovative technology. Nursing students who are looking to start their own home nursing service could learn aspects of business management from the business majors and can produce new ideas on how they can make the home nursing business run smoother. Arts and Architecture students could engage in new sustainable design with the engineering majors. When there is interaction between the students from different majors each student brings something great to the table and with this colaboration the possibilities are endless.&amp;nbsp;<br /> <br /> == Strategy #6: Designate a Creation Space for Students ==<br /> <br /> ----<br /> <br /> A space seperate from school labs and classrooms will go a long way in promoting interdisciplinary colaboration. A place where students can go to ideate and prototype for their own ideas seperate from the classroom. The space would offer an area for students to colaborate and test ideas without the presure of getting a good grade or the stress failing. The student could do everything from coming up with an itial idea to getting ready to pitch the idea to an investor. The space could also offer time slots for work in the machine shop or with the 3D-printers so that the student with an idea can move forward in the design process.&amp;nbsp;<br /> <br /> === Tactics and Dates: ===<br /> <br /> *With a growth in the students intrested in entrepreneurship and innovation the space would be a desired location. - Spring/Fall 2014 through Fall 2015&amp;nbsp;<br /> *When a student has an idea the space would be used to persue that idea the tactic is to motivate students to persue their own ideas. &amp;nbsp;- Spring 2015 through Spring 2016<br /> *Talking with the undergraduate reseach department on ideas and possible funding. - Spring 2015<br /> *Find and colaborate with outside sources. Get the community involved and look for possible locations outside of the campus. - Fall 2015<br /> *Host a design competiton for students to bring fourth their ideas on the space should look. - Spring 2016&amp;nbsp;<br /> *Contact alumni and other outside resources for funding and '''MAKE IT HAPPEN!!!&amp;nbsp;'''- Fall 2016 &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;<br /> <br /> == Strategy #7: Alumni ==<br /> <br /> ----<br /> <br /> === &lt;br/&gt; ===<br /> <br /> === Related Links ===<br /> <br /> ----<br /> <br /> [[Jacob Keasbey|Jacob Keasbey]]<br /> <br /> [[Norwich University|Norwich University&amp;nbsp;]]</div>

The club is working diligently on the strategies below, but with low club membership they can only tackle one idea at a time. Currently the club membership is composed of engineering and business students. With a growth in membership we could assess more ideas and open more opportunities for students to persue their own ideas.&amp;nbsp;<br /> <br /> === Tactics and Dates: ===<br /> <br /> *Hosting a social event for students and faculty to mingle, ideate together, and colaborate on new opportunities available to the student body. Spring 2014<br /> *Making connection with other student groups on campus that are interested in helping with the goal of growing the entrepreneurial ecosystem. By the start of the fall semester 2014<br /> *Start promoting new classes in entrepreneurship in hopes that education in what entrepreneurship is will grow intrest in the clubs ideas. &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; A main goal of the club for the foreseeable future<br /> *Reach out to professors of all disciplines so that they will recomend students who show promise in entrepreneurship and innovation. &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;Spring and Fall 2014<br /> *Start a better propoganda campaign.

It would be great to bring in speakers that not only lecture about their work but also engage in the students work. Students could have more opportunities to pitch ideas to industry professionals and receive feed back on those ideas. The speakers could also bring an interactive session element, where the student is working on small problems or projects to help promote entrepreneurship and innovation.&amp;nbsp;<br /> <br /> == Strategy #3: Offer an Entrepreneurship Minor ==<br /> <br /> ----<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> == Strategy #4: Contact the Local Entrepreneurship Community and Get Involved ==<br /> <br /> ----<br /> <br /> Vermont is a great state for small business entrepreneurship. It would be great to involve our local community in the ideas we have for promoting entrepreneurship and innovation. The idea of owning your own business is growing and if students could engage in public workshops and in opening up resources for the community we could produce some great changes. Working with the local community on opening up new resources for students and community members alike is great for public relations!&amp;nbsp;<br /> <br /> == Strategy #5: Make Interdisciplinary Connections ==<br /> <br /> ----<br /> <br /> The small school community that Norwich offers is great for colaboration between disciplines. Students in the technology majors could work with business majors on starting business based around new and innovative technology. Nursing students who are looking to start their own home nursing service could learn aspects of business management from the business majors and can produce new ideas on how they can make the home nursing business run smoother. Arts and Architecture students could engage in new sustainable design with the engineering majors. When there is interaction between the students from different majors each student brings something great to the table and with this colaboration the possibilities are endless.&amp;nbsp;<br /> <br /> == Strategy #6: Designate a Creation Space for Students ==<br /> <br /> ----<br /> <br /> A space seperate from school labs and classrooms will go a long way in promoting interdisciplinary colaboration. A place where students can go to ideate and prototype for their own ideas seperate from the classroom. The space would offer an area for students to colaborate and test ideas without the presure of getting a good grade or the stress failing. The student could do everything from coming up with an itial idea to getting ready to pitch the idea to an investor. The space could also offer time slots for work in the machine shop or with the 3D-printers so that the student with an idea can move forward in the design process.&amp;nbsp;<br /> <br /> === Tactics and Dates: ===<br /> <br /> *With a growth in the students intrested in entrepreneurship and innovation the space would be a desired location. - Spring/Fall 2014 - Fall 2015&amp;nbsp;<br /> *When a student has an idea the space would be used to persue that idea the tactic is to motivate students to persue their own ideas. - Spring 2015 - Spring 2016<br /> *Talking with the undergraduate reseach department on ideas and possible funding. - Spring 2015<br /> *Find and colaborate with outside sources.

The club is working diligently on the strategies below, but with low club membership they can only tackle one idea at a time. Currently the club membership is composed of engineering and business students. With a growth in membership we could assess more ideas and open more opportunities for students to persue their own ideas.&amp;nbsp;<br /> <br /> === Tactics and Dates: ===<br /> <br /> *Hosting a social event for students and faculty to mingle, ideate together, and colaborate on new opportunities available to the student body. Spring 2014<br /> *Making connection with other student groups on campus that are interested in helping with the goal of growing the entrepreneurial ecosystem. By the start of the fall semester 2014<br /> *Start promoting new classes in entrepreneurship in hopes that education in what entrepreneurship is will grow intrest in the clubs ideas. &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; A main goal of the club for the foreseeable future<br /> *Reach out to professors of all disciplines so that they will recomend students who show promise in entrepreneurship and innovation. &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;Spring and Fall 2014<br /> *Start a better propoganda campaign.

<p>Jake Keasbey: </p> <hr /> <div>= The Strategic Plan =<br /> <br /> ----<br /> <br /> The following list of strategies and tactics are goals for the entrepreneurial students and faculty at Norwich University.<br /> <br /> == Strategy #1: Growing The Entrepreneurship and Innovation Club ==<br /> <br /> ----<br /> <br /> Norwich has a great core group of students that are working extremely hard to grow the entrepreneurship and innovation ecosystem around campus. The club is working diligently on the strategies below, but with low club membership they can only tackle one idea at a time. Currently the club membership is composed of engineering and business students. With a growth in membership we could assess more ideas and open more opportunities for students to persue their own ideas.&amp;nbsp;<br /> <br /> === Tactics and Dates: ===<br /> <br /> *Hosting a social event for students and faculty to mingle, ideate together, and colaborate on new opportunities available to the student body. Spring 2014<br /> *Making connection with other student groups on campus that are interested in helping with the goal of growing the entrepreneurial ecosystem. By the start of the fall semester 2014<br /> *Start promoting new classes in entrepreneurship in hopes that education in what entrepreneurship is will grow intrest in the clubs ideas. &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; A main goal of the club for the foreseeable future<br /> *Reach out to professors of all disciplines so that they will recomend students who show promise in entrepreneurship and innovation. &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;Spring and Fall 2014<br /> *Start a better propoganda campaign. Currently the club does little for plublicity and if we could find ways to better reach students without being an inconvenience we could see a growth in interest. &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;Fall 2014<br /> *Bring in speakers that will connect with students without the large lecture setting. Students are more likely to engage the speaker an learn from them in a smaller classroom like setting. &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; Fall 2014<br /> *Plan more trips to local businesses and innovation centers to learn about what happens in the real world and see it first hand. &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;Spring and Fall 2014<br /> <br /> == Strategy #2: Host More Events That Engage Students in Entrepreneurship and Innovation ==<br /> <br /> ----<br /> <br /> The current speaker series is great and students who are interested in the topics often come away inspired. It would be great to bring in speakers that not only lecture about their work but also engage in the students work. Students could have more opportunities to pitch ideas to industry professionals and receive feed back on those ideas. The speakers could also bring an interactive session element, where the student is working on small problems or projects to help promote entrepreneurship and innovation.&amp;nbsp;<br /> <br /> == Strategy #3: Offer an Entrepreneurship Minor ==<br /> <br /> ----<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> == Strategy #4: Contact the Local Entrepreneurship Community and Get Involved ==<br /> <br /> ----<br /> <br /> Vermont is a great state for small business entrepreneurship. It would be great to involve our local community in the ideas we have for promoting entrepreneurship and innovation. The idea of owning your own business is growing and if students could engage in public workshops and in opening up resources for the community we could produce some great changes. Working with the local community on opening up new resources for students and community members alike is great for public relations!&amp;nbsp;<br /> <br /> == Strategy #5: Make Interdisciplinary Connections ==<br /> <br /> ----<br /> <br /> The small school community that Norwich offers is great for colaboration between disciplines. Students in the technology majors could work with business majors on starting business based around new and innovative technology. Nursing students who are looking to start their own home nursing service could learn aspects of business management from the business majors and can produce new ideas on how they can make the home nursing business run smoother. Arts and Architecture students could engage in new sustainable design with the engineering majors. When there is interaction between the students from different majors each student brings something great to the table and with this colaboration the possibilities are endless.&amp;nbsp;<br /> <br /> == Strategy #6: Designate a Creation Space for Students ==<br /> <br /> ----<br /> <br /> A space seperate from school labs and classrooms will go a long way in promoting interdisciplinary colaboration. A place where students can go to ideate and prototype for their own ideas seperate from the classroom. The space would offer an area for students to colaborate and test ideas without the presure of getting a good grade or the stress failing. The student could do everything from coming up with an itial idea to getting ready to pitch the idea to an investor. The space could also offer time slots for work in the machine shop or with the 3D-printers so that the student with an idea can move forward in the design process.&amp;nbsp;<br /> <br /> === Tactics and Dates: ===<br /> <br /> *With a growth in the students intrested in entrepreneurship and innovation the space would be a desired location. &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; Spring/Fall 2014 - Fall 2015<br /> *When a student has an idea the space would be used to persue that idea the tactic is to motivate students to persue their own ideas. Spring 2015 - Spring 2016<br /> *Talking with the undergraduate reseach department on ideas and possible funding. &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;Sping 2015<br /> *Find and colaborate with outside sources. Get the community involved and look for possible locations outside of the campus. &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;Fall 2015<br /> *Host a design competiton for students to bring fourth their ideas on the space should look. &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;Spring 2016&amp;nbsp;<br /> *Contact alumni and other outside resources for funding and '''MAKE IT HAPPEN!!!&amp;nbsp;'''&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;Fall 2016 &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;<br /> <br /> == Strategy #7: Alumni ==<br /> <br /> ----<br /> <br /> === &lt;br/&gt; ===<br /> <br /> === Related Links ===<br /> <br /> ----<br /> <br /> [[Jacob Keasbey|Jacob Keasbey]]<br /> <br /> [[Norwich University|Norwich University&amp;nbsp;]]</div>

<p>Jake Keasbey: </p> <hr /> <div>= Introduction&amp;nbsp;[[File:NorwichLogo.png|thumb|NorwichLogo.png]] =<br /> <br /> ----<br /> <br /> Norwich University was founded in 1819 and is the oldest private military university in America. Today, the university offers both a Corps of Cadets and civilian lifestyle; the population of civilian students is growing. The university offers thirty diverse bachelor degrees from criminal justice to engineering to business management. Built on strong military traditions, the university offers great leadership development opportunities. The university has a small ecosystem for innovation and entrepreneurship. A growing student population is showing great interest in pursuing more innovation and entrepreneurship education opportunities. The university is supporting the efforts of those entrepreneurial minded students working to grow the support ecosystem and opportunities.<br /> <br /> == Perceived E&amp;I ==<br /> <br /> ----<br /> <br /> Norwich appears relatively strong from the standpoint of entrepreneurship and innovation (E&amp;I). Most majors stress the importance of E&amp;I and there are great events to inspire E&amp;I. Lecture series that are both major specific and open to all are often motivating and inspiring. There are also great opportunities to practice and further develop one's leadership skills. There are formal courses that provide opportunities to engage in entrepreneurial thinking. A growing E&amp;I club is hoping to increase engagement in the E&amp;I activities around campus. Opening new communication networks within the university and also with the surrounding area is a major goal of the Entrepreneurship and Innovation Club.<br /> <br /> == Potential E&amp;I ==<br /> <br /> ----<br /> <br /> The business school offers business management and leadership courses that convey E&amp;I risks and benefits. There are also many professors who own their own businesses or are engaged in great research projects. Clubs on campus that hold events relating to E&amp;I are relatively limited. The growing Entrepreneurship and Innovation Club is hoping to hold more events, sponsor student-led initiatives, and create a permanent E&amp;I space. In the Spring of 2014, one E&amp;I focused competition was held on campus.<br /> <br /> == Applied E&amp;I ==<br /> <br /> ----<br /> <br /> The university was founded on principles of experiential education. Many programs have significant lab requirements offering hands-on experiences. Every program requires a senior, capstone design project that is focused on the students' developing their own creative works. The capstone projects provide a great opportunity for E&amp;I activity to be incorporated or highlighted, but it is not required and varies greatly depending on the interests of the students. Formal laboratory courses provide great opportunities to gain hands-on experience, but do not necessarily provide opportunities for students to work on their own projects. A dedicated ideation / creation space, not scheduled for classes, may invite more students to apply E&amp;I principles in their pursuits. Our Career Development Center is very helpful at supporting students seeking paid, outside internships.<br /> <br /> == Realized E&amp;I ==<br /> <br /> ----<br /> <br /> Approximately 150k is set aside annually to support undergraduate student based research ideas. Students may seek funding to further research their ideas through a grant program that supports them as they commit to spend 10 weeks, full-time, in pursuit of their ideas. Students select a mentor of their choosing and have access to university labs and facilities.&amp;nbsp;<br /> <br /> == Reframing E&amp;I ==<br /> <br /> ----<br /> <br /> Many students have no idea that we are located in a top ten state for entrepreneurship ([http://accd.vermont.gov/business/start/entrepreneurship http://accd.vermont.gov/business/start/entrepreneurship]). From a reframing standpoint, there are many resources outside of the university (e.g. Start-Up Vermont, VCET, PeakPitch, The Generator) which are great services for regional entrepreneurs. Most professors are interested in their students' work and support and encourage the students as they network and seek growth opportunities for their ideas.<br /> <br /> === Landscape Canvas ===<br /> <br /> ----<br /> <br /> [https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Av7vJTO2J5_pdHhzb21xR1ZnSVNrZWJVZmU3bnVocmc&amp;usp=drive_web#gid=0 Norwich University Landscape Canvas&amp;nbsp;]<br /> <br /> === Related Links ===<br /> <br /> ----<br /> <br /> [[Jacob Keasbey|Jacob Keasbey]]<br /> <br /> [[Norwich University Student Priorities|Norwich University Student Priorities]]</div>

Today, the university offers both a Corps of Cadets and civilian lifestyle; the population of civilian students is growing. The university offers thirty diverse bachelor degrees from criminal justice to engineering to business management. Built on strong military traditions, the university offers great leadership development opportunities. The university has a small ecosystem for innovation and entrepreneurship.

The university is supporting the efforts of those entrepreneurial minded students working to grow the support ecosystem and opportunities.<br /> <br /> == Perceived E&amp;I ==<br /> <br /> ----<br /> <br /> Norwich appears relatively strong from the standpoint of entrepreneurship and innovation (E&amp;I). Most majors stress the importance of E&amp;I and there are great events to inspire E&amp;I. Lecture series that are both major specific and open to all are often motivating and inspiring. There are also great opportunities to practice and further develop one's leadership skills. There are formal courses that provide opportunities to engage in entrepreneurial thinking. A growing E&amp;I club is hoping to increase engagement in the E&amp;I activities around campus.

There are also many professors who own their own businesses or are engaged in great research projects. Clubs on campus that hold events relating to E&amp;I are relatively limited. The growing Entrepreneurship and Innovation Club is hoping to hold more events, sponsor student-led initiatives, and create a permanent E&amp;I space.

Many programs have significant lab requirements offering hands-on experiences. Every program requires a senior, capstone design project that is focused on the students' developing their own creative works. The capstone projects provide a great opportunity for E&amp;I activity to be incorporated or highlighted, but it is not required and varies greatly depending on the interests of the students. Formal laboratory courses provide great opportunities to gain hands-on experience, but do not necessarily provide opportunities for students to work on their own projects.

<p>Jake Keasbey: </p> <hr /> <div>= Norwich University&amp;nbsp;[[File:NorwichLogo.png|thumb]] =<br /> <br /> ----<br /> <br /> Norwich University was founded in 1819 and is the oldest military university in America. The university also offers a civilian lifestyle and the population of civilian students is growing. The university offers thirty diverse bachelor degrees, from criminal justice to engineering. Most military lifestyle students leave Norwich with a degree and a military contract, which often becomes their career. Built on strong military traditions the university has great leadership development opportunities. However, the university has a rather small ecosystem for innovation and entrepreneurship. The growing civilian lifestyle is showing great promise in perusing more innovation and entrepreneurship education opportunities. The university is behind the ball on a lot of great things available to students and we hope to see that change in the near future.<br /> <br /> == Preceive E&amp;I ==<br /> <br /> ----<br /> <br /> == Potential E&amp;I ==<br /> <br /> ----<br /> <br /> == Applied E&amp;I ==<br /> <br /> ----<br /> <br /> == Realized E&amp;I ==<br /> <br /> ----<br /> <br /> == Reframing E&amp;I ==<br /> <br /> ----<br /> <br /> == Institutional E&amp;I ==<br /> <br /> ----<br /> <br /> == &lt;br/&gt; ==</div>
