Morgan State offers many useful resources but they are either limited to certain majors or most students simply do not know they exist. Our goal is to make all labs, workshops and development centers accessible to every student.</span></span><br /> <br /> <span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">&nbsp;</span></span><br /> <br /> == Create an Innovation, Commercialization, and Entrepreneurship (ICE) Center ==<br /> <br /> <span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">This premier urban innovation center will foster creativity, improve entrepreneurial skill sets, and increase interdisciplinary collaborations. It will include a&nbsp;skills lab for learning hard skills. Weekly&nbsp;tech tutorials and workshops will also be given in this space.</span></span><br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> == Incorporate Diversity Representation ==<br /> <br /> <span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">Students participating in a Multicultural week to showcase the treasures of the underrepresented ethnicities on campus. Morgan having a large variety of international students, all cultures should be celebrated and unbiased.</span></span> <span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">A brief general overview of Multicultural week: There will be a variety of events throughout the week where students can represent their countries flags, traditional attire and food. A multicultural mixer for students to music from different countries. Lastly, an day of cultural education, where students have the opportunity to teach other students on campus about their countries.</span></span><br /> <br /> <span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: medium;">Tactic #1: Utilizing the Student Government Association and various student campus orginizations propose to the Univeristy a Mulitcultural Week.</span><br /> <br /> <span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: medium;">Tactic #2: Once we have gained interest, collobarate with different cultural organizations (eg. Carribean Student Association, Latin Student Association etc.) and draft a event of weekly activities that will appeal to the student body and represent a variety of cultures on campus.</span><br /> <br /> <span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: medium;">Tactic #3: Make sure we have equal amount of representation and campus paticipation and promote the weekly events on campus. Draft promotional flyers and use social media as an outlet to reach our audience. Each cultural group will aslo be expected to invite their friends and family and enjoy their music, food, and traditional clothing.</span><br /> <br /> <span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: medium;">Tactic #4: Broadcast to the Morgan MILE which is the community that surrounds Morgan so that they may be involved in the cultural education.&nbsp;</span><br /> <br /> == Install BearBoards throughout campus. ==<br /> <br /> To implement this project, the steps that need to be taken are:<br /> <br /> <span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">1.&nbsp;&nbsp; Present Idea to Stakeholders, and check the interest and support levels</span></span><br /> <br /> <span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">2.&nbsp;&nbsp; Ask students on campus how they would like BearBoards</span></span><br /> <br /> <span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">3.&nbsp;&nbsp; Come up with specific design and prototype of BearBoards</span></span><br /> <br /> <span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">4.&nbsp;&nbsp; Reveal the prototype to Stakeholders and possible Sponsors and Donors</span></span><br /> <br /> <span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">5.&nbsp;&nbsp; Begin the installation process for the BearBoards</span></span><br /> <br /> <span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">6.&nbsp;&nbsp; Announce the opening of the BearBoards and promote usage throughout campus.</span></span><br /> <br /> <span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">&nbsp;</span></span><br /> <br /> == Product Development Center ==<br /> <br /> <span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">The University Innovation Fellows plan to bring a Product Development Center to Morgan State University. This center will be a makerspace which allows students to develop prototypes. Morgan is home to many great ideas and wonderful entrepreneurs but students do not have a space to make those dreams come to fruition.</span></span><br /> <br /> <span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">&nbsp;</span></span><br /> <br /> == Design Thinking Workshops ==<br /> <br /> <span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">Design thinking workshops that involve both engineering and business students will be beneficial because students will collaborate ideas when working with such individuals form different fields. Mixing the two majors can have a huge impact on the university and growth of the students as well. Design thinking invokes a new process for developing answers to problems from multidimensional perspectives making it an excellent project.</span></span><br /> <br /> <span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: medium;">Tactical #1: Research and find students and or professors who are well versed in Innovation and Design Thinking concepts to offer there time to partake in Design Thinking Workshops yearly.</span><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: medium;">&nbsp;Coordinate with Dr. Foster a UIF Advisor who has done a Design Thinking Course to collaborate on how to approach this program at Morgan.</span><br /> <br /> <span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: medium;">Tactical #2: Incorporate a trial Design Thinking Workshop open to a small sample group. This will help to gain feedback, and allow us to understand how to improve the workshops before opening to the general public.</span><br /> <br /> <span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: medium;">Tactical #3: Implement improvement from feedback and open Design Thinking works shops to Morgan students of all majors and classifications.</span><br /> <br /> <span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: medium;">Tactical #4: Get students interested in working towards a Maker Space.&nbsp;</span><br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">&nbsp;</span></span><br /> <br /> == Alumni Student Mixer ==<br /> <br /> <span><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">The disconnect between Alumni and students can be helped by incorporating the Alumni Student Mixer. The Alumni House on campus has a specific budget and council used to incorporate the connection between alumni and students. Unfortunately these resources are never used to bring the two together. An Alumni Student mixer can help bridge the gap of non-communication and open opportunities for job offers, internships for students as well as possible events to incorporate on Morgan's campus that is beneficial to the campus community.</span></span><br /> <br /> <span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Tactic #1: Reach out to Alumni house on campus to act as a&nbsp;</span>liaison between Alumni and current student body.&nbsp;<br /> <br /> Tactic #2: Begin reaching out to Alumni introducing them to the idea and giving them ample time to schedule time with us.<br /> <br /> Tactic #3: Work diligently with the administration in the Alumni House to solidify logistics (i.e. Location, maximum capacity, itinerary of the event, costs and materials needed, book a photographer, plan promotion tactics)<br /> <br /> Tactic #4: Use promotion tactics as agreed between the Alumni House and our group to reach out to students on campus. In order to reach out to students, we will most likely partner with prevalent student organizations with high visibility (i.e. Student Government Association, SMOOTH Organization, National Council of Negro Women Club, etc.) to gain student body interest. Continue to promote this event to ensure great attendance.<br /> <br /> Tactic #5: Send same promotional details to Alumni ranging from graduating Class of 1970 to the most recent graduating class. This allows a broad spectrum of Alumni that can appeal to the student body. Give Alumni ample amount of time to spread the word and to request off of work or arrange travel plans in time of event.<br /> <br /> Tactic #6: Plan an agenda balancing fun activities (like a "Battle of the Decades" DJ competition, "Journey through time" fashion show of attire worn back when each class went to school divided by very 5 years, and a menu for attendees to be able to enjoy food). Plan engaging networking opportunities inbetween (Keynote speakers from top companies speaking to students, panel of Alumni for a professional Q&A, "Speed Interviewing"; match students with one Alumni from a top company and every 5 minutes the student would move down to the next Alumni, this would allow students to get a snapshot of the company and allows the Alumni to meet students for potential job offers (resumes and business cards would be exchanged, at the end, each would rate the other and high rankings will be paired after event)). This maximizes attendance for the current student body by attracting them with "fun" and professional development, as well as appealing to the Alumni for a walk down memory lane and an opportunity to give back to their Alma Mater.&nbsp;<br /> <br /> Tactic #7: Launch event.<br /> <br /> == Expose more STEM students to Innovation and Entrepreneurship ==<br /> <br /> <span style="font-size:medium"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif">'''Tactic #1-'''The provision of an Introduction to Business course for STEM majors will heavily attract the interest of these students who feel they just have to get the A's&nbsp; to become well rounded</span>.</span><br /> <br /> <span style="font-size:medium">'''Tactic #2- '''Introducing a Campus Discovery concept called Morgan Konnect where students will be able to view and leverage the [https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0By3dnjIxAwoDalFnNmF3ZzI4QjA&usp=sharing# Morgan State University Landscape Canvas] to Discover,Learn, Experiment, Pursue, and Spin out.</span><br /> <br /> <span style="font-size:medium">'''Tactic #3- '''Building an incubator for students who have personal projects they would like to pursue in line with technological innovation.

A proposal is that "any potentially patentable inventions belong to the university, and royalties are split between the inventor, his/her department and Morgan State University (1/3 each). For undergraduates, the IP is theirs, unless their work has been supported by research funds, or they have made use of shops, labs and other Morgan State University property more than incidentally."</span><br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> &lt;/span&gt;<br /> <br /> == Morgan Konnect ==<br /> <br /> {{#Widget:Prezis| id=qrxvqd4pjinh |width=900|height=400 }}<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <p style="text-align: center;"><u><span style="font-size:large;">'''Dining at Morgan'''</span></u></p><br /> <u>&nbsp;</u><br /> <p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size:medium;">&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;After countless interviews with students, we’ve concluded that dining is the biggest issue on campus. So, as a leadership circle, we’ve decided to take on several projects that we believe would drastically improve the dining experience at Morgan in all areas. From snacks, to small groceries, to toiletries, and especially breakfast, lunch and dinner, we believe our four projects will change the dynamic of how Morgan operates. Without quality meals, the overall ecosystem at Morgan would be damaged and hinder students from innovation, entrepreneurship, and their own personal and academic priorities. We believe that with better access to food, an ultimate necessity, our I&E ecosystem will improve.</span></p><br /> <span style="font-size:large;">&nbsp;'''Project 1: Social Media'''</span><br /> <br /> <span style="font-size:large;">&nbsp;</span><br /> <br /> <span style="font-size:medium;">'''Tactic1.''' &nbsp;Facebook, twitter, Instagram, and Snapchat would be our target social media pages</span><span style="font-size: medium;">&nbsp;</span><br /> <br /> <span style="font-size:medium;">'''Tactic 2.

Each cultural group will aslo be expected to invite their friends and family and enjoy their music, food, and traditional clothing.</span><br /> <br /> <span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: medium;">Tactic #4: Broadcast to the Morgan MILE which is the community that surrounds Morgan so that they may be involved in the cultural education.&nbsp;</span><br /> <br /> == Install BearBoards throughout campus. ==<br /> <br /> To implement this project, the steps that need to be taken are:<br /> <br /> <span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">1.&nbsp;&nbsp; Present Idea to Stakeholders, and check the interest and support levels</span></span><br /> <br /> <span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">2.&nbsp;&nbsp; Ask students on campus how they would like BearBoards</span></span><br /> <br /> <span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">3.&nbsp;&nbsp; Come up with specific design and prototype of BearBoards</span></span><br /> <br /> <span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">4.&nbsp;&nbsp; Reveal the prototype to Stakeholders and possible Sponsors and Donors</span></span><br /> <br /> <span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">5.&nbsp;&nbsp; Begin the installation process for the BearBoards</span></span><br /> <br /> <span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">6.&nbsp;&nbsp; Announce the opening of the BearBoards and promote usage throughout campus.</span></span><br /> <br /> <span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">&nbsp;</span></span><br /> <br /> == Product Development Center ==<br /> <br /> <span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">The University Innovation Fellows plan to bring a Product Development Center to Morgan State University. This center will be a makerspace which allows students to develop prototypes. Morgan is home to many great ideas and wonderful entrepreneurs but students do not have a space to make those dreams come to fruition.</span></span><br /> <br /> <span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">&nbsp;</span></span><br /> <br /> == Design Thinking Workshops ==<br /> <br /> <span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">Design thinking workshops that involve both engineering and business students will be beneficial because students will collaborate ideas when working with such individuals form different fields. Mixing the two majors can have a huge impact on the university and growth of the students as well. Design thinking invokes a new process for developing answers to problems from multidimensional perspectives making it an excellent project.</span></span><br /> <br /> <span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: medium;">Tactical #1: Research and find students and or professors who are well versed in Innovation and Design Thinking concepts to offer there time to partake in Design Thinking Workshops yearly.</span><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: medium;">&nbsp;Coordinate with Dr. Foster a UIF Advisor who has done a Design Thinking Course to collaborate on how to approach this program at Morgan.</span><br /> <br /> <span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: medium;">Tactical #2: Incorporate a trial Design Thinking Workshop open to a small sample group. This will help to gain feedback, and allow us to understand how to improve the workshops before opening to the general public.</span><br /> <br /> <span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: medium;">Tactical #3: Implement improvement from feedback and open Design Thinking works shops to Morgan students of all majors and classifications.</span><br /> <br /> <span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: medium;">Tactical #4: Get students interested in working towards a Maker Space.&nbsp;</span><br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">&nbsp;</span></span><br /> <br /> == Alumni Student Mixer ==<br /> <br /> <span><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">The disconnect between Alumni and students can be helped by incorporating the Alumni Student Mixer. The Alumni House on campus has a specific budget and council used to incorporate the connection between alumni and students. Unfortunately these resources are never used to bring the two together. An Alumni Student mixer can help bridge the gap of non-communication and open opportunities for job offers, internships for students as well as possible events to incorporate on Morgan's campus that is beneficial to the campus community.</span></span><br /> <br /> <span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Tactic #1: Reach out to Alumni house on campus to act as a&nbsp;</span>liaison between Alumni and current student body.&nbsp;<br /> <br /> Tactic #2: Begin reaching out to Alumni introducing them to the idea and giving them ample time to schedule time with us.<br /> <br /> Tactic #3: Work diligently with the administration in the Alumni House to solidify logistics (i.e. Location, maximum capacity, itinerary of the event, costs and materials needed, book a photographer, plan promotion tactics)<br /> <br /> Tactic #4: Use promotion tactics as agreed between the Alumni House and our group to reach out to students on campus. In order to reach out to students, we will most likely partner with prevalent student organizations with high visibility (i.e. Student Government Association, SMOOTH Organization, National Council of Negro Women Club, etc.) to gain student body interest. Continue to promote this event to ensure great attendance.<br /> <br /> Tactic #5: Send same promotional details to Alumni ranging from graduating Class of 1970 to the most recent graduating class. This allows a broad spectrum of Alumni that can appeal to the student body. Give Alumni ample amount of time to spread the word and to request off of work or arrange travel plans in time of event.<br /> <br /> Tactic #6: Plan an agenda balancing fun activities (like a "Battle of the Decades" DJ competition, "Journey through time" fashion show of attire worn back when each class went to school divided by very 5 years, and a menu for attendees to be able to enjoy food). Plan engaging networking opportunities inbetween (Keynote speakers from top companies speaking to students, panel of Alumni for a professional Q&A, "Speed Interviewing"; match students with one Alumni from a top company and every 5 minutes the student would move down to the next Alumni, this would allow students to get a snapshot of the company and allows the Alumni to meet students for potential job offers (resumes and business cards would be exchanged, at the end, each would rate the other and high rankings will be paired after event)). This maximizes attendance for the current student body by attracting them with "fun" and professional development, as well as appealing to the Alumni for a walk down memory lane and an opportunity to give back to their Alma Mater.&nbsp;<br /> <br /> Tactic #7: Launch event.<br /> <br /> == Expose more STEM students to Innovation and Entrepreneurship ==<br /> <br /> <span style="font-size:medium"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif">'''Tactic #1-'''The provision of an Introduction to Business course for STEM majors will heavily attract the interest of these students who feel they just have to get the A's&nbsp; to become well rounded</span>.</span><br /> <br /> <span style="font-size:medium">'''Tactic #2- '''Introducing a Campus Discovery concept called Morgan Konnect where students will be able to view and leverage the [https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0By3dnjIxAwoDalFnNmF3ZzI4QjA&usp=sharing# Morgan State University Landscape Canvas] to Discover,Learn, Experiment, Pursue, and Spin out.</span><br /> <br /> <span style="font-size:medium">'''Tactic #3- '''Building an incubator for students who have personal projects they would like to pursue in line with technological innovation.

So, as a leadership circle, we’ve decided to take on several projects that we believe would drastically improve the dining experience at Morgan in all areas. From snacks, to small groceries, to toiletries, and especially breakfast, lunch and dinner, we believe our four projects will change the dynamic of how Morgan operates. Without quality meals, the overall ecosystem at Morgan would be damaged and hinder students from innovation, entrepreneurship, and their own personal and academic priorities. We believe that with better access to food, an ultimate necessity, our I&E ecosystem will improve.</span></p><br /> <span style="font-size:large;">&nbsp;'''Project 1: Social Media'''</span><br /> <br /> <span style="font-size:large;">&nbsp;</span><br /> <br /> <span style="font-size:medium;">'''Tactic1.''' &nbsp;Facebook, twitter, Instagram, and Snapchat would be our target social media pages</span><span style="font-size: medium;">&nbsp;</span><br /> <br /> <span style="font-size:medium;">'''Tactic 2.

It is an excellent job to look into different areas that will help the Morgan students to develop entrepreneurship and innovative thinking. The circle landscape canvas depicts on different accessible resources for the success of Morgan students, unfortunately only few percentage of students are aware of all these resources setup to meet their entrepreneurship and innovative needs. Morgan State University is an excellent institution full of diverse students from different background and ethnic groups around the world. The diversity makes it a better ecosystem to practice and educate students on innovation and entrepreneurship.</span><br /> <br /> <span style="font-size: 14px; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue'; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-weight: 700; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap">2. Encouraging faculty innovation and entrepreneurship: </span><span style="font-size:small">The faculty at Morgan are intrigued and more willing to advance entrepreneurship and innovation into the Morgan community. For instance, Dr. Foster is one best faculty that help to promote I&E on Morgans campus likewise the President, Dr. David Wilson, has expressed his upkeep on the I&E development. Empowered&nbsp;and motivated faculty will in this manner fortify the advancement and business enterprise attitude in the instructors' to students. The vision will be shared and students will begin to comprehend what I&E is all about. Dr. Amory, the chair of civil engineering Department, has expressed that this development is essential to him because he admires the idea of thinking outside the box and being creative, and he has a few thoughts on the best way to accelerate this development for example, project based learning is a good scenario of innovation. Remembering that Morgan State is a general suburbanite school, we ought to make assets available for all students (both graduate and undergraduate students) with hours that are helpful for all. The greater part of the students have overwhelming timetables and are adjusting all day work plans while having low maintenance or full-time course stacks. The staff will be a major portion of this development, since they can understand and voice critical students’ difficulties.</span><br /> <br /> <span style="font-size: 14px; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue'; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-weight: 700; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap">3.

Facilitating University-Industry Collaboration:</span><span style="font-size:small">Morgan State University remains highly interested in working to get collaboration with Industry projects. The company must trust the student body and have had a prior relationship with the school. Also, it is hard for companies to promote work that doesn’t remain top secret, due to the discretion in certain areas of interest. None the less, MSU is working to build relationships with companies to be able to open up opportunities like that. For example, Dr. Joseph A. Whittaker helped promote a joint cooperative agreement from the Earth Sciences Division of NASA Goddard Space Flight Center. MSU has been working hard to promote more opportunities like these, and obtain more in the near future.</span><br /> <br /> <br/><span id="docs-internal-guid-809f18af-8857-c551-5ce4-5c77585eb078"><span style="font-size: 14px; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue'; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-weight: 700; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap">5.

Promoting student innovation and</span></span><span style="font-size:small">'''entrepreneurship:''' At Morgan State University, our leadership circle has invested lots of energy and time to find the resources that are available for students here on the Morgan Campus. It is an excellent job to look into different areas that will help the Morgan students to develop entrepreneurship and innovative thinking. The circle landscape canvas depicts on different accessible resources for the success of Morgan students, unfortunately only few percentage of students are aware of all these resources setup to meet their entrepreneurship and innovative needs. Morgan State University is an excellent institution full of diverse students from different background and ethnic groups around the world. The diversity makes it a better ecosystem to practice and educate students on innovation and entrepreneurship.</span><br /> <br /> <span style="font-size: 14px; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue'; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-weight: 700; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap">2. Encouraging faculty innovation and entrepreneurship: </span><span style="font-size:small">The faculty at Morgan are intrigued and more willing to advance entrepreneurship and innovation into the Morgan community. For instance, Dr. Foster is one best faculty that help to promote I&E on Morgans campus likewise the President, Dr. David Wilson, has expressed his upkeep on the I&E development. Empowered&nbsp;and motivated faculty will in this manner fortify the advancement and business enterprise attitude in the instructors' to students. The vision will be shared and students will begin to comprehend what I&E is all about. Dr. Amory, the chair of civil engineering Department, has expressed that this development is essential to him because he admires the idea of thinking outside the box and being creative, and he has a few thoughts on the best way to accelerate this development for example, project based learning is a good scenario of innovation. Remembering that Morgan State is a general suburbanite school, we ought to make assets available for all students (both graduate and undergraduate students) with hours that are helpful for all. The greater part of the students have overwhelming timetables and are adjusting all day work plans while having low maintenance or full-time course stacks. The staff will be a major portion of this development, since they can understand and voice critical students’ difficulties.</span><br /> <br /> <span style="font-size: 14px; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue'; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-weight: 700; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap">3.

Facilitating University-Industry Collaboration:</span><span style="font-size:small">Morgan State University remains highly interested in working to get collaboration with Industry projects. The company must trust the student body and have had a prior relationship with the school. Also, it is hard for companies to promote work that doesn’t remain top secret, due to the discretion in certain areas of interest. None the less, MSU is working to build relationships with companies to be able to open up opportunities like that. For example, Dr. Joseph A. Whittaker helped promote a joint cooperative agreement from the Earth Sciences Division of NASA Goddard Space Flight Center. MSU has been working hard to promote more opportunities like these, and obtain more in the near future.</span><br /> <br /> <br/><span id="docs-internal-guid-809f18af-8857-c551-5ce4-5c77585eb078"><span style="font-size: 14px; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue'; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-weight: 700; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap">5.

For example, a faculty member who reaches 100 students daily could offer extra credit points if students attend your meeting. This outreach could vastly grow the awareness and attendance of your meetings and cause. The committee which you form is only as good as the members who make it up and the faculty sponsors who support it.
