=Overview=

Fall of 2023 the UIF members have created the idea of S.H.E.E.P. (Student, health, encouragement, and education, planning)

The majority of students who are moving forward in their school careers after high school are very underprepared and overwhelmed when they first go to university. High school does not do a good job at preparing these students on what it means to be successful and confident in college academics. This program will focus mainly on freshman and the undeclared majors transfer students. S.H.E.E.P will focus on areas such as workshops about different majors, having mental health check-ins, classes on what it takes for students to succeed in college, putting on fun activities to destress, and producing a Youtube/Podcasts that students can listen in and connect with others to build a community.

 

=== Strategy #1: Workshops for Majors ===
''Description''

The week before school starts, on the George Fox campus there will be courses that do a quick over view of the potential fields students can go into. In these workshops students will learn the basics of each major through a lecture and then implement what they had just learned into hands on activities. This way not only do students get to experience a wide range of careers before they are required to choose one, but it will allow students to be involved and have fun. Having this be before school starts is so that freshman and undeclared transfers can have to opportunity to build community with students and faculty they might not meet otherwise.

''Tactic #1''

Bring in faculty of different fields on a volunteer basis to teach the courses. Also have seniors of the various careers to help out similar to a TA, this would be something that those seniors could put on their resumes.

''Tactic #2''

Promote these workshops through the George Fox social medias, the Bruin, and informing incoming students of this resource.

''Tactic #3''

While this would be required for freshman and undeclared transfer students the program would be open to anyone joining.

 

===Strategy #2: Mental Health Check-Ins===
''Description''

Going to a new school environment can already be extremely overwhelming and confusing. That's why the current members of UIF propose the idea of Shepherding. Shepherding (going along with our Sheep theme) would be another resource that would be available to students focusing on the mental and emotional wellbeing. This would be required for those that were involved in the major workshops and it's just a way for students to get the help that they may need if they are struggling and don't know where to go for that help.

''Tactic #1''

Grad Psych Students who come to the undergraduate campus as part of their internship requirements will help with this and it would count towards their credits.

''Tactic #2''

Counselors that are already on campus would be on a volunteer basis as another set of hands to help out.

''Tactic #3''

This would only be required a few times a semester, but once students know of this resource and how to find the main mental health resource on campus they can go as much as they want.

 

===Strategy #3: Required class that teaches different skills needed to be successful as a student academically, but to also introduce the various resources we have on campus and how to find them.===
''Description''

When students first come onto the campus they don't know that the campus has certain resources or how to even search for these researches. Many students also are not previously taught the needed skills for college academically as university is so different from high school.

''Tactic #1''

Course would teach skills needed for college such as, how to time manage, how to be organized/how to find an organizational pattern that works for that student, etc.

''Tactic #2''

Course would teach students what resources are on campus and where to find them and how to contact the various groups.

''Tactic #3''

This course would only be a couple times a semester and would encourage community building.

 

===Strategy #4: Youtube/Podcast===
''Description''

As a way to encourage community, students can check in to prerecorded videos or podcasts and catch up on the latest events on campus. Students can also watch or listen in real time as another way to build community.

''Tactic #1''

Work with media/film students. This would be something media and film students could put on their resumes and would also be a paid internship through the school.

''Tactic #2''

This would give resources to students through the advancement of technology by giving updates about the resources George Fox has.

 

===Strategy #5: Herd Hurdles===
''Description''

Continuing with the sheep theme. When sheep go through traumatic events they hurdle together for safety and comfort. Similar to this idea, UIF will put on a couple events throughout the year as a way reduce stress and anxiety of students, primarily those in the college success course, but it would be open to any students.

''Tactic #1''

Work with student activities on campus to throw free events during the week. This would only be a couple times a semester primarily around midterms and finals.

''Tactic #2''

Market through George Fox's social medias, the Bruin, posters around campus.

''Tactic #3''

Students and faculty can volunteer to help out and it would be an activity students could put on their resumes.

==Project pitch Idea==
{{#Widget:Youtube|id=uazAakMplig}} 
----Many of the student priorities at George Fox University are centered around the Maker Hub. We want this space to live up to its name as a "hub" of innovation and entrepreneurship on campus, and to ensure that it is being used to its fullest potential. We also want interdisciplenary students to be able to take advantage of this resourse, so that students with different talents can pool their resources and make something truely special.

=Strategy #1: Encourage I&E through emphasis on the problem solving process and employability=

'''Description'''

Currently, students are evaluated on their performance with an A-F grading system. The current system encourages students to work until a certain level of performance is attained rather than to learn and enjoy problem solving. We want students to focus on the problem solving process and critical thinking skills. These skills will create professionals that see challenges as learning opportunities and desire to expand entrepreneurship and innovation.

==Tactic #1==

Bring in professional graders to see how the work that students are doing would hold up in an industry setting. This will encourage students to think about improving skills that will be desirable in the workplace, while also networking students to professionals involved in entrepreneurship and innovation in industry.

==Tactic #2==

Encouraging concept based grading to shift students focus from numbers to learning material and critical thinking. This will foster a mindset of continuous improvement, and will encourage students to learn from mistakes. As a result, critical thinking skills that students have developed will encourage entrepreneurship and innovation.

==Tactic #3==

Implement an employability grade that reflects students' effort and predicts their performance in a professional environment. This grade is designed to display to employers how well a student demonstrates an innovative and entrepreneurial mindset while in classes, as well shows that the university is investing in the employability of students. The grade shows students application of knowledge, and thus creates an emphasis on practicality rather than on innovation.

=Strategy #2: Encourage I&E through expansion of innovative spaces=

'''Description'''

While there are spaces on campus that encourage entrepreneurship and innovation, these spaces are either not well known or are not large enough for the growing number of students that will use the space as awareness is brought to it.

==Tactic #1==

Increase the amount of students that use current innovation spaces through more awareness to already existing spaces. Having a greater number and diversity of students in the same spaces will encourage different ideas and contribute to entrepreneurship and innovation.

==Tactic #2==

Expanding innovation spaces to include fishbowls or other study spaces that give students the freedom to "Dream Big" in creating new ideas. These spaces would be smaller and around different locations on campus. This would make students more confident in approaching innovation spaces.

==Tactic #3==

Reorganize current spaces to make them more efficient for student success. Use spaces unfit for student use as storage spaces, and transform old storage spaces into usable innovation spaces.

=Strategy #3: Developing innovation connections between departments on campus=

'''Description'''

Many students on campus notice problems in the spaces the live and work, but don't know how to solve them or even that these problems are solvable. We believe that connecting students to innovative spaces would encourage an innovative and entrepreneurial mindset and foster a greater connection between different departments on campus.

==Tactic #1==

Create a club that connects students with a desire to practice problem solving skills with problems that they could solve in other departments, as well as provide a platform where students can learn the necessary skills to solve these problems.

==Tactic #2==

Bring students from multiple departments together to solve smaller problems in the local community. Students could learn about resources available on campus and develop teamwork and communication skills with those in other majors. This would also help students focus on the need for their design, rather than jumping straight into the building process.
=Strategy #4: Develop a platform for students to launch new ideas=

'''Description:'''

A major gap in our I&E ecosystem is that students lack the support necessary to launch new ideas. We may be able to develop those resources to demonstrate that an idea has merit beyond the walls of the University

==Tactic #1==

Create a program where students from multiple majors work together to design a product and create a business model for a competition. Winners of this competition receive support and funding to patent their ideas and launch their business. This will inspire students to dream big and create a realistic proposal, while working with professionals.

==Tactic #2==

Create resources where students can go to receive support for launching new ideas.

==Tactic #3==

Generate incentive for students to try new ideas and put in the work to launch them. This would encourage students to engage in innovation by motivating them and removing their fear of failure.

==Bio==
Liz Wood is an undergraduate student studying for a Bachelor's Degree in Interior Design at George Fox University in Newberg, Oregon. She is currently on the road to graduate Spring of 2025. Outside of her studies, Liz is a student worker for her university's library. In her free time, Liz enjoys relaxing at home with her family, 2 cats, and 1 dog.

After being intrigued by the designing processes of the countless home renovation shows, Liz decided to spontaneously take an interior design course and found her calling. While she is still early on in her studies, she is looking forward to gaining a deeper understanding and inspiration of the designing process.

During her time with the UIF Liz is hoping to create a deep change in her campus across the students while also making connections and friendships with those she hasn't been able to meet yet.

=Overview=

George Fox University has a community that is ready to encourage an innovative and entrepreneurial mindset. The physical resources and infrastructure have been heavily improved, and hands-on learning is a priority among the faculty. Where it is lacking is in implementation; students face a lack of resources and mentoring which makes spinout difficult.

='''Promoting student innovation and entrepreneurship''' =

George Fox University promotes many opportunities for students to discover innovation and entrepreneurship. One way this is done is through classes that encourage innovative thinking through projects. These classes include Engineering Principles, a two part class involving semester long team or individual projects designed to expand students open-ended problem solving skills and give them the technical knowledge and resources to design, model, and produce the product.  Another engineering class is microprocessors, where students design a completely custom circuit board that does anything they want within the scope of the class.  In the business department, George Fox offers a variety of entrepreneurship and start-up focused classes which attempt to be as close to real business settings as possible. In a managerial accounting class students have to create their own hypothetical campground business and present financial projections. There are multiple marketing and entreprenurship classes that give students the opportunity to work on real business projects for real companies. In a manufacturing class offered at the school, students learn about manufacturing processes before visiting a variety of factories so that they may make educated observations and suggestions. All around the business and engineering departments George Fox University has the ability to promote innovation and entrepreneurship through their many communication channels and deep industry connections. 

Another avenue for student entrepreneurship is through the newly built Maker's space. The impressive 16,000 sq. ft engineering playground boasts a full machine shop, surveying shop, woodworking equipment, an additive manufacturing and prototype lab, an extensive tool room, and several computer labs. It is here that every freshman engineer learns to build a wobbler engine and compete their engine against the other engineering freshmen in the infamous Wobble Off. Here students have the opportunity to work on their own projects, from arcade machines to popsicle stick bridges to anything they can think of. A new modification since 2020 allows all majors at George Fox to take the access quiz to the MakerHub, and utilize the different facilities within. This creates room for innovation to be bridged across disciplines beyond engineering, if executed in a proper manner that teaches all users of the space the full capabilities of being in there.  

='''Encouraging faculty innovation and entrepreneurship'''=

George Fox faculty focus is on teaching, though some research does happen throughout the school year and is more common in the summer. To advance at George Fox as a faculty member, you need to show quality teaching and some form of continuing scholarship, however scholarship is not required to be research with students, it can be an article in a peer-reviewed journal or a speech at a conference. The faculty do have diverse industrial backgrounds and passion projects, and they are beginning to share those with the students. For instance, a few years ago several faculty members with experience in the developing world have invited students to join them in Peru for a summer service project. The faculty's passion for service has the potential to foster a positive I&E culture on campus.

='''Actively supporting the university technology transfer function'''=

Unfortunately, George Fox University has no technology transfer office or any means of aiding students in connecting with industry to share new ideas. 

='''Facilitating University-Industry Collaboration'''=

George Fox has connections with many local businesses such as A-dec, Legacy Health, and Nike, to name a few. Employees of these companies serve on advisory boards and attend regular career fairs. Many are also George Fox alums. Classes in manufacturing and start-up style business make trips to see companies practicing the principles they are learning about in class. The engineering program also has close relations with local industry through Senior Design, a capstone class in which senior students develop a product in conjunction with an industry partner.

='''Engaging with regional and local economic development efforts'''=

Despite our close ties with local industries, George Fox University makes a minimal effort to benefit the community economically. At the beginning of the year, students receive a 'coupon card' with various discounts that students can use at local shops and restaurants, but the focus of this is to plug students into the community, and not necessarily to benefit the local economic development efforts. Some outside contracting is done through the maker's space, print shop, ceramics labs, sporting events, or other resources on campus but very little advertising goes into these functions and they are not widely encouraged.

==Bio==
Liz Wood is an undergraduate student studying for a Bachelor's Degree in Interior Design at George Fox University in Newberg, Oregon. She is currently on the road to graduate Spring of 2025. Outside of her studies, Liz is a student worker for her university's library. In her free time, Liz enjoys relaxing at home with her family, 2 cats, and 1 dog.

After being intrigued by the designing processes of the countless home renovation shows, Liz decided to spontaneously take an interior design course and found her calling. While she is still early on in her studies, she is looking forward to gaining a deeper understanding and inspiration of the designing process.

During her time with the UIF Liz is hoping to create a deep change in her campus across the students while also making connections and friendships with those she hasn't been able to meet yet.
