==Bio==
Leslee Weible is continuing her education at Iowa State University (ISU) after completing her BS in electrical engineering and her MS in Apparel Product Development and Merchandising Technology at Central Michigan University (CMU). She finds the connections between science, math, and fashion compelling leading her to explore elements of these in both her creative and academic endeavors. This passion can be found in her designs including a featured exhibit, Axolotls and the Beauty of Regeneration, a collaborative showcase of science and design. Leslee’s other research passions include functional design, primarily regarding thermal comfort. She has worked with CMU’s Center for Merchandising and Design Technology since 2019 where she was first introduced to the analytical side of the fashion industry. This relationship gave her the opportunity to participate in research using the thermal manikins in the lab, stoking her curiosity in the field. Weible's goal of advocating for a space for interdisciplinary thinking and design principles that connect people's passions within the collegiate environment was solidified here where her own passions finally met.
Throughout her college career, Weible has participated in groups such as the Society of Women Engineers (SWE), the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE), Alternative Breaks, and the Fashion Graduate Student Association (FGSA). These organizations allowed Weible to interact and understand the experiences of other students at within the walls of CMU and outside. Along with these, Leslee is active in her research with one work published and two being presented at a conference in the fall of 2022.
Outside of academia, Leslee enjoys a multitude of activities including crocheting and travel. Her travels have taken her to Ireland for a study abroad experience in her undergrad and other countries like France and Germany, where she maintains friendships. Lately she has stayed close to home to spend time with her dog, Newton, and visit family in her home state of Pennsylvania.

As a Fellow at CMU, Weible worked along side her cohort to create a tabling event on campus called A Creative Jam. This event worked to bring a stress relief to students while also showing them small ways that they can incorporate creativity into their lives.

Ljweeble: /* Tactic #1: Creativity Conference */

=='''Strategy #1: Developing a Culture of Creativity'''==

==Tactic #1: Creativity Conference==
[[File:Creativity Conference.png|thumb|202x202px|link=Special:FilePath/Creativity_Conference.png]]
Description Overview: The creativity conference is a 1.5-2 day event that students will come to collaborate and develop their creative approach to problem-solving. As a physical location is feasible, this conference can also be held virtually and can be possible for students all across the world.

Team Leader:

*Leslee Weible

One issue that was brought up in trouble shooting was marketing the event. Some solutions might be that there could be coverage on different institutional social media and tabling on campus. Along with this, there was an issue with the way that the event was conveyed. There has to be enough information to entice the students to participate but also give them information that would let them know what this new event is really about and explain what it means in more than a couple vague sentences.

The creativity conference will be built off of the momentum of the series of consecutive creative jams that are hosted and implemented throughout the university.

=='''Strategy #2: Creating a Centralized Digital Resource Center'''==

==Tactic #1: Social Media Account Content Delivery==
Description: The focus on the creation of an interactive resource center located within the cmich.edu website is the end goal for this strategy. To begin, we must start somewhere past various agile sprint cycles that must be developed to implement the website transformation... this is why, as we are meeting together with teams to edit cmich.edu, we will start with social media.

To begin with general resources, our base-case account will be built out of Instagram.

Team Leader:

*Jake Kapusansky

With implementation of resources, our strategy is to develop the content in 3 stages: people, places, niches.

#People first. Our first posts and stories will be featuring people, specifically agents of change on campus that other individuals can reach out to for resources and help.
#Places next. To understand all of the physical locations between CMU's various contexts, we will implement each internal resource inside of our various buildings
#The niche resources to include will be imperative as the collective student body begins to read between the lines for resource sharing and collaboration. (Ie., Adobe Creative Suite, etc.)

==Tactic #2: Geographic Information System Implementation between University Website and Communications==
[[File:GIS.png|left|thumb|125x125px]]
''Geographic Information System''

we have included our prototype for what the website resource would look like. Rather than approaching the typical CMU map from a drivers lens, we need to connect people to people.

This is our prototype from social media account with the intention of being able to share information right away. Lastly, we will focus on scaling the idea from social to the website by collecting CMU resources over the next semester and working to collaborate with the web design team.
<br />

=='''Strategy #3: Collaborate with Student-Led Initiatives to Implement Design Thinking Methodologies'''==

==Tactic #1: Creative Jam/ Design Thinking Pop-Up(s)==
[[File:Creative Jam.png|thumb|298x298px|link=Special:FilePath/Creative_Jam.png]]
Description: The Creative Jam is designed for students having a hard time with academic burn out. When you think of the last time you were unapologetically creative, I personally think of when I was a kid. This brought up the idea of having a creative jam tabling event.

Team Leader: Rebecca Ridenour

Students will be able to come up on their own terms and experience childhood creativity like a sensory lab, group madlibs, and reflection activities. An issue that was experienced through trying to market this idea was that flyers do not attract students to events and students feel like they need a free item for coming to events. There was also another issue with the lack of information on my flier and what the goals were of the event.

The Creative Jam would be a great idea to get the interest of creativity embedded into students and make it, "if you participate you get entered to win a giftcard,” so the barriers to entry are as minimal as possible. The Creative Jam, based on input from our stakeholders has been pivoted to be a series of built up events, or "pop-ups" that will be very lean and easy to build over time.

CENTRAL MICHIGAN UNIVERSITY: A HOME FOR FUTURE ENTREPRENEURS

'''Campus Overview'''

With over 200 undergraduate majors, over 50 graduate and doctoral degrees, and a multitude of certifications to pursue, Central Michigan University offers all its students the variety to explore their passions and find the programs that are best suited for their needs.

Central Michigan University offers a variety of support systems to their students to help them create and maintain a healthy environment to thrive in during their time in Mount Pleasant and beyond. Central Michigan provides many mental health resources such as CMU Cares, the counseling center that is free for students, and SAPA which is a student run organization that supports students going through health and safety issues. Central Michigan also ensures to have financial support for all of its students through our student financial aid, as well as serving students through the student pantry where you do not have to enclose your financial background to receive food from the university. Central Michigan University makes it possible for students to flourish on campus and receive the support they need.

'''Promoting student innovation and entrepreneurship'''

Central Michigan’s entrepreneurship and innovation team would not be anything without its students that help shape the college. At Central, students are given many opportunities to be able to get into their own creative flow. An example of promoting student innovation and entrepreneurship is the CMU sales challenge which provides students an excellent way to showcase their abilities in marketing that they have been taught all year. The CMU Sales Challenge brings in what students have been practicing in the classroom, and brings forth their ideas to professionals that may be recruiting. This is also a great way for students to win scholarship money.

Another way for students to display their new talents is at the first inaugural CMU Hackathon, which was a collaboration between colleges over a 24 hour period. The event started with icebreakers and team building to help to create teams to tackle multiple different challenges. Throughout the time allotted for problem solving, students are able to remain within the building whether it be for working, eating, sleeping on provided cots, and brainstorming within their teams. Judges are brought in to judge the final exhibition to award students for their work and innovative ideas for these projects.

The Adobe Creative Jam was an event on campus to promote a new resource that is available to all students and staff. Creative and accessible technology was the focus of this event with a speaker from Adobe talking about a video editing app that was built to allow easy editing for anyone. Along with this, the Adobe Creative Lounge (located in the CMU Library) was introduced, where there are spaces to meet collaboratively and rent space like the sound booth. This space gives anyone that uses it access to professional equipment and help when using software like the Adobe Creative Cloud (available for all students and faculty).

'''Encouraging faculty innovation and entrepreneurship'''

The innovation and entrepreneurial mindset does not end at the students, faculty are encouraged to pursue their own ventures as well. The Office of Research and Graduate Studies is a resource that can provide support in the way of learning, funding, and exhibition. Through this office, grants are available to support not only research but creative endeavors as well, helping to foster an environment of innovation. Along with this, there are spaces that are available to present ventures that faculty have spearheaded. One of these is the Baber Room within the library that is used as an exhibition space, giving access to creative endeavors created by all disciplines. This space not only allows for faculty to promote their work but also to reach students that might have an interest in furthering their academics through possible mentors.

Groups within CMU are beginning to pop up as well bring together different colleges in the hopes of collaboration and innovation. One group that is prevalent in innovation and entrepreneurship focuses on innovation, entrepreneurship and the maker ecosystem within CMU as a university, stressing the need to work between colleges to allow for better access to resources. These groups allow for the conversations to start about how to create environments that will foster connection and creativity, two key items when developing ideas and working towards better design thinking principles.

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

There are multiple resources available to help people with their technology transfer function such as:

Technology is constantly being iterated on within Central's campus. Within the IDEA den, a plethora of resources, including 3D printers, access to graphics and content software, training, and people to build confidence with all of these innovative tools is a constant.

At the Adobe Creative Lounge, located at the University Library, students are able to create media while accessing professionals to support in their creative endeavors.

The Office of Research and Graduate Studies works in tandem with CMU RC, and develops research technology and creative endeavors. Grant searching, providing insights into exhibition spaces, and promoting a culture of innovation are all high level assets that the Office provides to transform innovation throughout the university.

'''Facilitating university-industry collaboration'''

At CMU, developing meaningful relationships is the foundation on which collaboration across industries is innovated. Internships, travel opportunities and events, both virtual and in-person with companies such as SAP, Ford, and Isabella Bank are all being iterated on to promote innovation, entrepreneurship, and intrapreneurship within industry environments.

The Isabella Bank Institute for Entrepreneurship sponsors the IDEA Den, a center for student-led Innovation that focuses on incubating start-up ideation and growing new ventures. Additionally within the College of Business, the SAP Next-Gen Lab is constantly developing ERPsimulation events, workshops, and speaker series’ to engage students with innovation in information systems. This last year, over 50 students traveled to Chicago to create a relationship with SAP leadership.

Additionally, continuous development of internships and industry collaboration is competitive. Within CMU’s entrepreneurship workshops and bootcamps, over 20 entrepreneurs from around the nation fly and drive in to mentor students on new ventures and startups.

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

Development on a local and regional scale is also important in a culture of entrepreneurship and innovation. Central Michigan engages in this effort by guiding people towards the resources that are available in the area and on campus. The CMU Research Cooperation (CMU RC) is a space that allows for co-working in four different cities. These spaces give all different levels of business networking and collaboration opportunities, as well as support from staff that helps entrepreneurs tackle their issues and strive for success. Along with this, the CMU RC gives people from start ups, established companies, the university and more the opportunity to share resources and innovate.

Another fantastic way to engage with economic development efforts is the Michigan Small Business Development Center, which is located within the Mid-Michigan College campus that is less than 5 miles from CMU’s campus. This center provides resources to small businesses to help them get on their feet, grow as a business, or develop more skills through training.

The Mount Pleasant Chamber of Commerce is a group that holds events and supports small businesses.
