== Students ==

*'''Speak out '''- Too often, we quietly ignore discrimination because we assume that we're not part of the problem. If you see discrimination, use your voice and don't be afraid to challenge it. By speaking out, keeping your calm, you serve as a role model and encourage others to do the same.
*'''Student organizations''' - Join a student organization that fosters diversity and inclusion. If you feel that your campus is underserved by student organizations, consider starting one! Many campuses provide funding for student organizations. Get a faculty sponsor on board by talking to professors after class, write a short charter, and you can create your own club that can live on after you graduate.
*'''Workshop''' - A workshop is an event where audience participation is encouraged and developed through a variety of hands-on activities and group exercises. These events can be as short as one hour. You should develop a clear agenda for your workshop before hand, and talk to faculty to see how you can promote your event. Check this [http://www.cmhc.utexas.edu/clearinghouse/files/PT014.pdf workshop plan from UT Austin] for more ideas.

== Faculty ==

[http://isites.harvard.edu/fs/html/icb.topic58474/TFTrace.html Harvard University provides this advice] for faculty to accomodate and promote diversity in classrooms:

*Assign work from scholars of a variety of ethnic and racial backgrounds
*When group work is desired, promote groups that balance gender and ethnicity
*At the beginning of semesters, let all students know their voice is valuable
*Ask whether you call on students of color as often as other students, and give the same weight to their views

[[File:Kelly-Schutt.jpg|thumb|left|Kelly-Schutt.jpg]]Before college, I worked with two friends to start a Google Partner Company. We used analytics, focus groups, and digital tools to increase online sales and marketing return on investment. The work was fun and challenging, and we were fortunate to work with great clients. Unfortunately, we were driven by results and profit rather than purpose. The majority of ecosystems on Earth are in decline due to human activity, and I wasn't comfortable contributing to consumerism. I decided to enroll at Boise State University so that I could contribute to sustainability.Here, I've contributed to DNA nanotechnology research as part of a collaborative grant between Micron Technologies, Harvard University, and Boise State University. Currently, I'm working on preliminary data for a NASA grant that seeks to learn how DNA crystals grow differently in the International Space Station. DNA provides a massively parallel and cost-effective means for fabricating nanomaterials, and may eventually provide novel methods of energy harvesting and storage. Last summer, I started a perovskite solar cell project to research new materials that may reduce solar cell costs by nearly 90%.I was recently awarded a Marshall Scholarship, and look forward to doing research that will help bring perovskite solar cells into commercial production. On long time scales, energy, wealth, and sustainability are inseparable. Driving the costs of renewable energy down will help developed nations become more sustainable, and will alleviate poverty in areas of the world that lack reliable electric grids.

== Promote Growth of Vertically Integrated Projects ==

Tactic 2 content

== Provide Opportunities for Entrepreneurship Mentoring to Engineering Students ==

== Increase awareness of I&E resources (especially within engineering) ==

*Create a one-page website with links to relevant resources
*Advertise the website in email newsletters
*Have guest speakers introduce I&E for 5 minutes at the beginning of courses
*Promote living/learning communities, MakerLab, and College of Innovation and Design

== Improve awareness of Vertically Integrated Projects ==

Vertically integrated projects (VIP) provide research opportunities to earn academic credit. These give students a practical approach to applying knowledge they learn in class. However, few students are currently enrolled in the VIP program.

== Increase connections between students of different majors ==

[http://honors.boisestate.edu/ The Honors College] provides dorms and multi-disciplinary classes to connect students from different majors. Entry/prereq courses are taken by many students, but these are often too early to provide meaningful I&E opportunities.

== Host a [http://tedxboise.org/ TEDx Boise] Viewing Party ==

TEDx tickets are a bit expensive for students. We could livestream the event to foster collaboration and creativity.

= Strategy #5: Provide Feedback Mechanisms for Students to Give Input to the University Administration =

== Implement a student satisfaction survey ==

*A likert scale allows students to rate various aspects of their experience (e.g. I&E resources, quality of education, value for tuition, quality of faculty overall, job opportunities, etc.)
*This survey could be dynamic. E.g. questions could change based on early identifiers such as major, part-time/full-time, etc.
*Open ended feedback could allow us to sample more students than our initial survey allowed. E.g. "if you had a mission rather than a major, what would it be?"

== Host an event to generate student ideas for campus improvements ==

*This could be a workshop type activity
*We could break out into small teams and document feedback
*A streamlined report would be given to faculty with the ability to implement changes

== Provide a social news type system ==

*Allow student to submit ideas for improving campus
*Each idea/thread can be upvoted or downvoted and allows comments
*Top upvoted ideas for a given period can be implemented or at least get a response from administration

Before college, I worked with two friends to start a Google Partner Company. We used analytics, focus groups, and digital tools to increase online sales and marketing return on investment. The work was fun and challenging, and we were fortunate to work with great clients. Unfortunately, we were driven by results and profit rather than purpose. The majority of ecosystems on Earth are in decline due to human activity, and I wasn't comfortable contributing to consumerism. I decided to enroll at Boise State University so that I could contribute to sustainability.Here, I've contributed to DNA nanotechnology research as part of a collaborative grant between Micron Technologies, Harvard University, and Boise State University. Currently, I'm working on preliminary data for a NASA grant that seeks to learn how DNA crystals grow differently in the International Space Station. DNA provides a massively parallel and cost-effective means for fabricating nanomaterials, and may eventually provide novel methods of energy harvesting and storage. Last summer, I started a perovskite solar cell project to research new materials that may reduce solar cell costs by nearly 90%.I was recently awarded a Marshall Scholarship, and look forward to doing research that will help bring perovskite solar cells into commercial production. On long time scales, energy, wealth, and sustainability are inseparable. Driving the costs of renewable energy down will help developed nations become more sustainable, and will alleviate poverty in areas of the world that lack reliable electric grids.
