=Student Priorities=

==2022 Cohort==

===Strategy #1: Spreading Innovation to Students and organizations===
At Marshall university many organizations struggle with getting involvement amongst other things. We would like to provide a Design thinking workshop to organizations on campus that are struggling. Those who take the workshop will receive one-on-one guidance from a student innovation ambassador, personalized workshop for your organization, training on how to solve problems to improve their organization. In the workshop we plan to cover deep customer empathy, broad-to-narrow thinking on ideas, and rapid experiments. For deep customer empathy we will ask club members to talk to other students about how attending their events made them feel and why they did not want to come back or why they did not want to join to begin with. We will then ask club members to take what they learned from talking to others to form an idea or series of ideas and narrow them down to one by lastly engaging in rapid experimentation to get ideas from others about their new idea to then move forward and improve upon it. At the end of the whole process, we will offer the club members who participated to become an innovation fellow. Therefore, every single student/organization on campus can make a difference for the Marshall Community.

===Strategy #2 Centralizing and Promoting Funding and Research on Campus:===
Going through College, I've found it hard to find research and funding resources. Most students are offered opportunities directly from professors through email chains, or by posters in the hallways. In most people's cases, these opportunities come to them, not the other way, making it hard for those searching for them. These methods are largely obsolete, arguably restrictive, and could be greatly improved.

Our goal is to create a platform to centralize and promote these opportunities. It is our belief that a single source of funding and research opportunities would increase the number of candidates and better market the individual opportunities. By casting a wider net of candidates, researchers and organizations have a wider pool of talent to choose from, and vice versa in terms of students choosing opportunities.

===Strategy #3:===
 

==2019 Cohort==

===Strategy #1: Introducing Entrepreneurship to Everyone===
<span style="background-color: transparent; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">At Marshall University, First Year Seminar is a required class that every student must take, normally in their first semester. This is a critical thinking course designed to teach lifelong learning through critical, integrative, intercultural, inquiry based, and metacognitive thinking. The goal of this class is to start practicing using the tools and skills that any college graduate will need in work and life.

Many students believe that if they are business majors, they do not need to be introduced to Entrepreneurship or Innovation. Our first strategy is to include Design Thinking into every First Year Seminar. Therefore, every single student can use innovation and entrepreneurship in their everyday life, regardless of their major. This can lead to students focusing on the impact and as a result, making a difference in the community.

==='''Strategy #2: Pre-seed Funding for Entreprenurial Students'''===
<span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Marshall University’s Entrepreneurship program focuses on innovative solutions for big problems. Our university successfully inspires creativity and innovation in entrepreneurial students, yet students struggle with finding financial funding to begin their startup. Our second strategy is called Startup Marshall, which is a way for Entrepreneurship students to create their own pre-seed fund and grow their funds through alumni donations. 

<span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Startup Marshall is an optional program for Entrepreneurship students. Each semester, students who opt-in the program, are accessed a $250 fee each semester. This fee funds into an account that the entrepreneurship major can use for the development of their startup during college and after they graduate. By opening an account, alumni can view a student’s profile. The profile indicates the student’s major, passions, skills, and interests. Alumni can then donate to student accounts. This strategy is an effort to increase the startup culture at Marshall University and ensure that students have the funds to start their own businesses. 

<span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Kelly Leonard will lead this project but will need the assistance of fellow students, McKenna Sunderland and Annika Benke. 

==='''''Strategy #3: ''Increasing accesiblity to iCenter'''===
'''''<nowiki/>'''''
'''''<nowiki/>'''''
Marshall University has an entrepreneurship major and minor that only business students can access. Entrepreneurial students, whether they be engineers, designers, manufacturers, do not have access to I&E mentoring and coaching. To help bridge this gap, Marshall University’s Lewis College of Business opened the iCenter. The iCenter is an innovation center that any student or community member can receive design thinking workshops and help with their startup. 

Currently, the iCenter is renovating spaces in the business hall. The iCenter, however, does not have open office hours for those seeking help with their businesses. Our priority is to open visiting hours and create ways to make the iCenter accessible for everyone. We want to create online workshops so students and community members can access them at any time.

===Strategy #4: Small Business Crawl===
<span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">All great ideas start with a spark. While Marshall University is beginning to get the resources that it needs to allow students to pursue these ideas, we must also provide the inspiration. Entrepreneurs come from a variety of different backgrounds, and we want to encourage all of Marshall’s students, regardless of their major, to incorporate entrepreneurship into their lives, too!

<span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Our fourth strategy, the Small Business Crawl, invites students to spend the evening visiting several different local small businesses. At each visit, they will learn the story of how the business began, challenges that they’ve faced, and ways that they’ve solved problems. Not only will this help to spark students’ imaginations, it will also help to provide them with contacts in the community that they can reach out to should they need assistance. In this way, we can work to create more local businesses in our area, and further both intellectual and economic growth.

==Bio==
====About Me====
My name is Joshua Maddy, and I'm a Computer Science student at Marshall University in WV. I come from the capitol city sibling, South Charleston, WV, and have always had a strong interest in software and its transformative ability. I'm self-educated in 3D printing, 3D modelling, website design, and formally trained in Python 3+, Java 8+, C# 7+, SQL and HTML/CSS/ES6. I spend most of my time outside of classes following tangents and enriching my understanding of technology.

I have been working at Marshall since Sep. 2021 as a research assistant for the MURC and grading assistant for the college of Computer Science. As of 2022, I am currently participating in various extracurricular research opportunities.

====My Goal====
I strongly believe in technologies' ability to enhance education and assist communities in all aspects. I believe strongly in the democratization of education and the importance of technological literacy. I'm here to better my understanding of tackling complex problems so I can improve at using my interests for the greater good.

==Achievements==
