[[File:IMG 3962.JPG|thumb]]Hello everyone, I'm Lelucksamee Ampawa, but you can call me Chelsi. I'm a current senior at City College of New York. I'm currently on the E-Board of the Entrepreneurship Student Club as the Director of Partnerships. I'm really proud of how far our club has grown in helping students at CCNY learn more about entrepreneurship and innovation. I love planning student-led events and bringing people together. My hope is to leverage my skills into creating and planning cool events!

= OVERVIEW =

The City College of the City University of New York is a public senior college of the City University of New York in New York City.

= STUDENT INNOVATION & ENTREPRENEURSHIP =

Currently, the community at the City College of New York (students, faculty and alumni) have minimum exposure when it comes to innovation and entrepreneurship. This is for many reasons, and largely is due to lack of faculty and student initiative to improve these conditions. As we progressed through UIF training, we made it our goal to engage the students' body, learn from our peers, and find ways to inspire, motivate, and create initiatives to foster that community of innovation and entrepreneurship.

The Zahn Innovation Center:
<ul style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;">
<li>The Zahn Center is CCNY’s first and only startup accelerator and incubator. It aims to support CCNY’s most dedicated student innovators by allowing them to experience a traditional accelerator program; with the mentorship, funding, and office space - while maintaining status as a student.</li>
</ul>

TEDx CUNY:
<ul style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;">
<li>Independently organized TEDx talks throughout the City University system of NYC bring powerful and credible stories directly to students. Throughout the CUNY system, student organizations have organized TEDx Salons, which are lower lift talks with high level impact.</li>
</ul>

Entrepreneurship Student Club:
<ul style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;">
<li>ESC brings together students from all different disciplines and acts as a catalyst for change on its campus. The club finds innovative and creative ways to bring raw and exciting personal development to the students of CCNY. The club has run several workshops and discussions of I & E to a school that needs it dearly.</li>
</ul>

The Campus:
<ul style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;">
<li>The Campus magazine showcases accomplished students initiatives and significant changes in CCNY’s I&E atmosphere. The publication allows those who feel like their dreams may not become a reality to view actual examples of students who made things happen.</li>
</ul>

Conversations in Leadership
<ul style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;">
<li>The Colin Powell School for Global Leadership brings accomplished businessmen, entrepreneurs, and inventors to our small campus. These leaders inspire the student body to reach out towards the existing resources on campus that many take for granted.</li>
</ul>

City College Fund
<ul style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;">
<li>The City College Fund remains transparent with students and leaves its doors open. The fund gladly welcomes students initiatives with open doors and wallets. The fund has been known for working with administration in identifying which student led projects deserve funding and supports them with connections as well.</li>
</ul>

Undergraduate academic programs in entrepreneurship:
<ul style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;">
<li>ECO C0026 Managing Business Complexity</li>
<li>Entrepreneurship: Women & Diversity</li>
<li>ECO - 41250 Entrepreneurship Course</li>
<li>ECO 42000 - Internship</li>
</ul>

<ul style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;">
<li>Zahn Center Venture Competitions</li>
<li>Zahn Center Incubator/Accelerator</li>

Entrepreneurs can continue to grow their network through their residency while offering “office hours” for students and faculty who’d like to stop by and learn more about what it takes to build a business. A vetting process will be needed to order to find who is the right fit for being an Entrepreneur in residence. We’d work with our alumni network and company contacts to help make this a reality.'''

City College does not have any classes or that cater to design thinking, so one day boot camps would be great to get students working together and learning how to tackle problems from a design thinking perspective while encouraging students to solve major problems and issues in the world.'''

Involving faculty on campus to help foster creativity on campus through design thinking will really help to engage the students with the material they’re learning.'''

'''<span style="font-size:15.333333333333332px;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;background-color:#ffffff;font-weight:700;font-style:italic;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">Tactic 1<span style="font-size:15.333333333333332px;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;background-color:#ffffff;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">- <span style="font-size:15.333333333333332px;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;background-color:#ffffff;font-weight:700;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">Company tours'''

'''<span style="font-size:15.333333333333332px;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;background-color:#ffffff;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">As a busy commuter school, CCNY does not offer students the time or resources to provide quality professional development. Student led company tours allow a hands-on approach to solving this problem. The experience will give students a sense of urgency when applying themselves to working towards the goals much earlier than most. The sense of excitement of seeing what you want to become in action can inspire and motivate students to sit in the very chair they have seen on their tour. Company tours can offer students short sessions with an industry expert that reveal to students the inner workings of their field of interest. In an economy where jobs are so competitive, the proper drive can give a student the means to tackle these competitive roadblocks with a solid background.'''

We’d like to have a newsletter geared more towards those interested in knowing the events either on campus or in other spaces that relate to innovation, workshops, career information, etc. Students get a lot of emails about events but not a targeted newsletter. These targeted newsletters would be incorporate some of our own I&E related events, information about companies, and what’s new in certain industries. We can work with aspiring journalist students to cover news in NYC about I&E.'''

'''<span style="font-size:15.333333333333332px;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;background-color:#ffffff;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">While our school hosts career fairs, they aren’t very targeted towards those in specific majors and concentrations. We’d like to have more targeted career fairs, bringing in more companies relevant to certain majors can interests. Like a career for for students in the arts with studios and creative companies. A career fair for students interested in marketing and social media with companies who have positions and internships catered to these demographics.'''

City College does not have any classes or that cater to design thinking, so one day boot camps would be great to get students working together and learning how to tackle problems from a design thinking perspective while encouraging students to solve major problems and issues in the world.'''

Involving faculty on campus to help foster creativity on campus through design thinking will really help to engage the students with the material they’re learning.'''

'''<span style="font-size:15.333333333333332px;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;background-color:#ffffff;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">As a busy commuter school, CCNY does not offer students the time or resources to provide quality professional development. Student led company tours allow a hands-on approach to solving this problem. The experience will give students a sense of urgency when applying themselves to working towards the goals much earlier than most. The sense of excitement of seeing what you want to become in action can inspire and motivate students to sit in the very chair they have seen on their tour. Company tours can offer students short sessions with an industry expert that reveal to students the inner workings of their field of interest. In an economy where jobs are so competitive, the proper drive can give a student the means to tackle these competitive roadblocks with a solid background.'''

We’d like to have a newsletter geared more towards those interested in knowing the events either on campus or in other spaces that relate to innovation, workshops, career information, etc. Students get a lot of emails about events but not a targeted newsletter. These targeted newsletters would be incorporate some of our own I&E related events, information about companies, and what’s new in certain industries. We can work with aspiring journalist students to cover news in NYC about I&E.'''

We’d like to have more targeted career fairs, bringing in more companies relevant to certain majors can interests. Like a career for for students in the arts with studios and creative companies. A career fair for students interested in marketing and social media with companies who have positions and internships catered to these demographics.</span<strike></strike>
