== Introduction  ==

Grand Valley State University (also known as GVSU), is a public liberal arts university in Allendale, Michigan, United States, west of Grand Rapids. Classes are also offered downtown Grand Rapids on GVSU's Pew Campus. Pew Campus supports programs in Engineering, Education, Nursing and Business. There has been a movement to improve innovation and entrepreneurship landscape on GVSU’s campuses. Many courses, clubs, workshops, competitions and other programs involving innovation and entrepreneurship  have been researched and put together to build an infrastructure for students to utilize.

== Entrepreneurship & Academics  ==

The Faculty at GVSU integrates innovation and entrepreneurship in their courses through hands on projects and assignments. The classes below empathizes on I&E. 

*EGR 301 - Product  Design

*MKT 450 - Marketing Capstone

*EGR 401 - Advanced Product Design

*ENT 180

*ENT 350

== Events & Community  ==

Not only does Grand Valley State University supports it’s students in innovation and entrepreneurship both in and outside the classroom but the Grand Rapids community also supports it. There are many organizations that offer funding, advising, space and much more for small start up companies and businesses. Below is a list of some community organizations and GVSU programs that support innovation and entrepreneurship. 

==== Community:  ====

*StartGarden Speakers/Workshops

*GRIN

*GR Current 

==== Campus:  ====

*Idea Pitch

*CEO Club

*MWest 

==== Resources:  ====

Engineering prototyping lab, machine shop, and wood shop. 

== Co-op Program  ==

For GVSU’s Engineering program students must participate in a 3 semester co-op program. The last two years of an Engineer’s education, a student will alternate between co-op (usually at a company) and school every other semester. This allows students to apply what they have learned in real live situations and gain valuable industrial work experience. Typically students will get job offers after graduation with the company they co-oped with. The program also has a two semester long undergraduate senior project.  

Not only does all this hands-on experience cause students to develop work ethic/economics and project management skills, it offers a more active participation in innovation and entrepreneurship.

Resource:How to create a design community for architects and their interdisciplinary student peers.

2014-09-07T19:01:39Z

Leahbauer:

=== The Problem ===

There are limited environments on campus for students to innovate, design, and participate in hands on projects. However college campuses can offer a unique combination of living learning communities with access to a large number students, alumni, faculty, board members, and other resources. University Innovation Fellow Valerie Sherry of University of Maryland, desired to create a community for students who desired hands on projects in real world applications. 

=== First Steps  ===

Before launching a new type of community, group, or space there needs to be a desire, want or need for a new community. At the University of Maryland, many Architecture students desired to be apart of something larger than their classes, something that involved hands on applications in a real life setting. This started a movement towards an entrepreneurial group to improve innovation at their college. With word of mouth and many brain storming meeting, they found that many students from different backgrounds had a desire to pursue their ideas but did not know where to start. 

=== The Plan ===

Now that there is a want and a need for a innovation community the next steps was finding projects, planning events, co-sponsoring and getting the word out. 

Out of their brain storming events and idea call Design Tents came about. The Design Tents would be an event where students, sponsors and interested individuals could come together and rapidly make a prototype. The idea and ultimate goal was to help students form idea to implication. 

Many projects came about by word of mouth between other majors on campus such as a cross design for “Books Breaking Boarders” where there was a need for a book cover design. The support from other departments at the university was extremely important for getting projects like these. 

=== Keeping the Interest  ===

Keeping the desire and interest of the students and faculty is an on going challenge. Some helpful ideas to keep the fire burning would be to keep an playful environment, students want to be hands on (Fun little Projects), and give the students what they want. 

=== Other Tips  ===

*Don’t ask for permission just do it 
*Don’t wait, adjust 
*Empower members 
*Just do it 
*Thinking through entropy phase make sure it is working for users 
*Have a crash course for design thinking 
*Leadership training 
*Use Faculty Professors to navigate and help make a decisions

She enjoys playing sports and being outdoors. You can find her snowmobiling in the winter and boating in the summer. One of Leah’s biggest achievements is overcoming her learning disability. After being diagnosed with dyslexia, the support from her family and the encouragement from her father inspired Leah to pursue an education in engineering. Currently Leah is part of a startup company, Fluition LLC with other students from Grand Valley State University. Together they are working on a patient handling device designed specifically for the intensive care unit. This experience has invoked Leah’s interest in entrepreneurship and prompted her to pursue a master’s degree in business at the University of Michigan. Leah has applied for University Innovation Fellows program with the hope that she can encourage other students to pursue their ideas and innovation at Grand Valley State University.
