Priorities:The Ohio State University Student Priorities

2020-09-30T22:33:10Z

Mrash97:

Check out our newest leadership group's introduction video: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PxDWK3K9geg&feature=youtu.be https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PxDWK3K9geg&feature=youtu.be]. 

'''Overview'''

The Ohio State University offers premier services to pockets of students through organizations such as the Center for Innovation and Entrepreneurship, Technology Commercialization Office, and various student organization. However, these are not widely utilized within engineering and business, let alone the rest of the university. The typical student receives little to no of the entrepreneurial and innovation education that prepares them for the modern economy. To extend the long-term I&E Ecosystem at Ohio State; to provide students with resources and environments that facilitate innovation learning; to advise, incubate, and accelerate student generated ideas, the following Student Priorities have been created.

= UNIVERSITY INNOVATION FELLOWS 2020 - 2021  =

= PRIORITY 1: DEVELOPMENT OF OHIO STATE ALUMNI STARTUP SPOTLIGHT =

Columbus has become home to a vibrant community of innovation and entrepreneurship, and we want to highlight the past OSU students who have gone on to start ventures so that current students can learn from their experience.;
<ul style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;">
<li>Fellows Involved: Kaylee Chang, Angela Heaney, Tinia Larkins, and Mick Rash </li>
</ul>

=== Milestone 1: Conduct Stakeholder Meeting - November, 2020 ===
<ul style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;">
<li>Description: During the month of November, our cohort will facilitate a meeting to meet the stakeholders on campus and begin to foster a relationship.</li>
</ul>

=== Milestone 2: Gauge Initial Student Interest ===
<ul style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;">
<li>Description: Create and distribute a survey for the alumni and student body to determine how many startups and students can and will attend. </li>
</ul>

=== Milestone 3: Develop and Organize Event Specifics  ===
<ul style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;">
<li>Description:The next responsibility will be to make sure that an event can be properly organized and put on through the auspices of UIF. </li>
</ul>

=== Milestone 4:Create a system of connection among participants. ===
<ul style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;">
<li>Description:After this event, it is of the utmost importance to create a network of participants who can continue their growth and knowledge in the startup space. </li>
</ul>

= PRIORITY 2: CREATION AND DISSEMINATION OF A NEWSLETTER OF INNOVATION AND ENTREPRENEURSHIP =

At a university as large as Ohio State, it is paramount that students be able to connect with the resources that they can take advantage of most effectively. As such, it is vital that we create a newsletter through the Keenan Center for Entrepreneurship to inform students interested in the resources of the I&E space at Ohio State.;
<ul style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;">
<li>Fellows Involved: Kaylee Chang, Angela Heaney, Tinia Larkins, and Mick Rash </li>
</ul>

=== Milestone 1: Direct Student Body Interest in I&E to the Keenan Center ===
<ul style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;">
<li>Description: It is vital for a newsletter from the Keenan Center to be created that we demonstrate need among the student body for resources from the Keenan Center.</li>
</ul>

=== Milestone 2: Create a signup for monthly newsletters ===
<ul style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;">
<li>Description: With the connection between those who are interested in the startup space and the Keenan Center, the ability for individuals to sign-up for the newsletter from the Keenan Center will be complete. </li>
</ul>

= PRIORITY 3: IMPROVING STUDENT ORGANIZATION CONNECTION =

Throughout your four years at OSU, with such a large student body, you may graduate without knowing more than a small percentage of what activities and opportunities within organizations were available to you. While this is an inevitable part of a campus of more than 50,000 students, there needs to be an easier way to navigate. That is why our cohort believes that a new restructuring of how student organizations and activities presented on the OSU app and website needs to be better organized and broken down, so that aspiring students can easily find the right organization and home for them.;
<ul style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;">
<li>Fellows Involved: Kaylee Chang, Angela Heaney, Tinia Larkins, and Mick Rash </li>
</ul>

=== Milestone 1: Categorize Organizations Based on Interest ===
<ul style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;">
<li>Description: By breaking down organizations into categories, students can easily navigate in a way tailored to their personal and specific interests. This can be approached in the same manner in which the student involvement fair is structured, including broad categories such as sports, environmental, business, and so on.</li>
</ul>

=== Milestone 2: Specify Time/Overall Commitment ===
<ul style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;">
<li>Description: After breaking down by category, we want to give more comprehensive information for each organization. And as we know that organizations vary in time constraints, meetings, and projects, with some simply having optional meetings, and others having constant projects and deliverables, we want students to know what they’re getting themselves into. Also, this avoids the hassle of sending out multiple emails to understand what you signed up for.
 </li>
</ul>

=== Milestone 3: Make it Public  ===
<ul style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;">
<li>Description:Once this restructuring is complete, we want this to be accessible on the OSU app and main website for easy student access. This way, not only can new freshmen feel comfortable looking through what they might be interested in, any college student can be easily equipped to get involved with a new organization without hassle. </li>
</ul>

= UNIVERSITY INNOVATION FELLOWS 2019 - 2020  =

= PRIORITY 1: DEVELOPMENT OF UNIVERSITY BOARD FOR INNOVATION & ENTREPRENEURSHIP =

After 3 years of the UIF program at The Ohio State University, we have noticed that our university is lacking an owner for the I&E landscape. As the university becomes more siloed with the growth of its individual colleges, I&E projects continue to be held in the dark due to the lack of communication. The University Innovation Fellows have decided that it will be our continuous priority to own the state of the I&E landscape by creating board 
<ul style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;">
<li>Fellows Involved: Andrew Benisek, Lauren Saggar, Kai McKinney, Jen Schlegel </li>
</ul>

=== Milestone 1: Conduct Stakeholder Meeting - November, 2018 ===
<ul style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;">
<li>Description: During the month of November, our leadership circle shall facilitate a stakeholder meeting with key faculty and administrative personal. The goal of this meeting is to introduce our various ideas as well as establish a fundamental relationship between the student body and faculty moving forward.</li>
</ul>

=== Milestone 2: Invite Faculty to be on the I&E Board - December, 2019 ===
<ul style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;">
<li>Description: After the stakeholder meeting, we want to form a board of faculty advisors from across the various areas of campus to provide a consistent pulse on the I&E developments in their particular department. Getting together the UIF faculty board will not only assist in with the longevity of the UIF program but will help us have the connections across the university required to push new initiatives. </li>
</ul>

=== Milestone 3: Hold 1st Faculty Board Working Session  ===
<ul style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;">
<li>Description:After the board has been set, the UIF program will attempt to host working sessions every semester to help align the groups priorities, create sub-working groups, and get a pulse of changes that have occurred to the campus landscape. </li>
</ul>

=== Milestone 4: Industry Invitations to the Board - April, 2020 ===
<ul style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;">
<li>Description:After multiple semesters in operation, the UIF I&E board would hope to add members of industry onto the board. Industry members will help guide the board in with perspective from outside the university and would ideally help to source resources outside of the reach of students and faculty. </li>
</ul>

= PRIORITY 2: RE-ESTABLISHMENT OF THE STUDENT INNOVATION & ENTREPRENEURSHIP COUNCIL  =

<span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Last year, the UIF team helped to create the Student Innovation and Entrepreneurship Council at The Ohio State University. The council was focused on bringing student leaders in the I&E space together from around campus to discuss what they are doing and encourage open collaboration between organizations. The general idea was that together, we could increase access to entrepreneurship and innovation at Ohio State. 
<ul style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;">
<li>Fellows Involved: Andrew Benisek, Lauren Saggar, Kai McKinney, Jen Schlegel </li>
</ul>

=== Milestone 1: Send invitations to be a member of SIEC - Dec 2019 ===
<ul style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;">
<li>Description: SIEC meetings have been discontinued for over a semester. UIF will need to re-invite organizations to continue the conversation. </li>
</ul>

=== Milestone 2: Hold First Meeting - Jan 2020 ===
<ul style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;">
<li>Description: After invitations have been sent, the goal would be to have our first large council meeting at the beginning of Spring semester. This would be a chance for everyone to be updated on what they have been doing and where they plan to head in the short term</li>
</ul>

=== Milestone 3: First Breakout Session - Feb 2020  ===
<ul style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;">
<li>Description:Our goal is to have smaller working groups within SIEC that work to help further a specific initiative in the I&E landscape. Whether this is joint events, joint sourcing of partners and resources, etc. our goal would be for 2  - 3 of these groups to form in the early spring semester. </li>
</ul>

= PRIORITY 3: UIF PROGRAM LONGEVITY  =

The University Innovation Fellows is a program that has impacted the lives of not only the fellows, but many other on campus. However, at a university of Ohio State’s size, it is very difficult to have a sustained impact as cohorts change and projects last outside of the scope of an academic year. As the UIF program, we will be working towards developing a sustainable model for UIF in order to ensure that the program has strategic and constant presence within the University. 
<ul style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;">
<li>Fellows Involved: Andrew Benisek, Lauren Saggar, Kai McKinney, Jen Schlegel, Astha Rastogi, George Varcarcel </li>
</ul>

=== Milestone 1: Addressing Key University Stakeholders - Nov 2019 ===
<ul style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;">
<li>Description: At the November Stakeholder meeting, the entire UIF program will not only be addressing current progress but setting up discussions to set up a permanent board for guidance over our program. </li>
</ul>

=== Milestone 2: Defining a permanent home - Feb 2020 ===
<ul style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;">
<li>Description: The UIF program at the Ohio State University has been housed within a specific college of study. The UIF team plans to have discussions with university administration to determine if this is the best home for our program given our priorities moving forward. </li>
</ul>

=== Milestone 3: Defining Project Lifetimes - March 2020 ===
<ul style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;">
<li>Description: As a program, we must consider the size and complexity of projects we can and cannot take on. As we look to position ourselves as strategic connectors between university silos, we must define what we can and cannot support as a program moving forward.</li>
</ul>

=== Milestone 4: New Recruiting Cycle - March 2012 ===

<span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; background-color: transparent; font-weight: 700; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Description:For the 2020 recruiting season, our programs goal is to increase the diversity of our team to include not only more areas of academic study, but pools of though. By more accurately representing campus on our team, we can better serve the I&E needs of the university. 

= PRIORITY 4: FOSTERING MULTIDISCIPLINARY COLLABORATION =

The Ohio State University is composed of diverse expertise and strong research, but this is often siloed into respective disciplines. Effective impact means that everyone has access to resources and the ability to share perspectives in order to create change on a systematic basis.
<ul style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;">
<li>Fellows Involved: Andrew Benisek, Lauren Saggar, Kai McKinney, Jen Schlegel, Astha Rastogi, George Varcarcel </li>
</ul>

=== Milestone 1: Map Stakeholders - Nov 2019 ===
<ul style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;">

= University Innovation Fellows 2018-2019  =

= Priority 1: Development of Ohio State Innovation Lab =

The first area of focus for the second fellowship is the development of a physical lab on campus. The Ohio State Univeristy has a strong foundational system for innovation, however, the school now requires a physical to allow students to access Innovation materials. Our method of developing this space will involve vigorous work with faculty to create such a space. 

*Fellows Involved: Amun Mehta, Nolan Hanna, Erica Carlson, Astha Rastogi

=== Milestone 1: Conduct Stakeholder Meeting - November, 2018 ===

*'''Description: '''During the month of November, our leadership circle shall facilitate a stakeholder meeting with key faculty and administrative personal. The goal of this meeting is to introduce our various ideas as well as establish a fundamental relationship between the student body and faculty moving forward.

=== Milestone 2: Begin Conceptual Design of Innovation Lab - February, 2019 ===

*'''Description: '''Begin formalizing a space for the new innovation lab to be built in, with hopes of the location being on North / Central Campus. Using previous designs by Fellows as well as receiving feedback from the student body will be crucial. 

=== Milestone 3: '''Recieve Funding for Establishment of Lab - May, 2020''' ===

*'''Description:'''By the end of the 2019/2020 Academic Year, fuding should be secured for the creation of the Innovation Lab. The process will be given extra time due to the fact that the University has many phases it must go through in order to build such a space.

=== Milestone 4: Implementation of Ohio State Innovation Lab - May, 2021 ===

*'''Description:''' By the end of the 2020/2021 Academic Year, we hope to have a fully functioning Innovation Lab in which students have all the required materials to pursue their innovation aspirations. A series of modules will have been established to certify students to use this space, allowing their student ID's access to this space. 

= Priority 2: Freshman Engineering Curriculum Reform =

The Freshman Engineering Curriculum Reform aims to revamp the second semester design course (ENGR 1182) that all engineering freshmen and those pursuing an engineering minor are required to take. Traditionally, this course is very linear, the curriculum does not promote creativity as much as it should, and does not encourage students to make connections between what they design and how it could create social or economic value. This project is part of a KEEN grant project to promote Entrepreneurial Minded Learning across engineering education at OSU.

*Fellows Involved: Amun Mehta, Nolan Hanna, Erica Carlson, Astha Rastogi

=== Milestone 1: Begin In-Class Pilot, August, 2018 ===

*'''Description: '''During the month of August, initial training of the course's instructional team took place, including teaching assistants. Classes officially began on August 22nd, 2018. KEEN TA's (UIF role) is to be in class, support grading, working on enhancing the instructional team's familiarity with EML, and ultimately gathering feedback to improve the spring course.

=== Milestone 2: Redesign Course Material - October 2018 ===

*'''Description: '''In October, enough feedback will have been compiled from the fuzzy front end of the course to serve as data for beginning the redesign of the pilot course for spring 2019 semester. In spring 2019 there will be 8 sections of the EML Freshman Design Project

=== Milestone 3: '''Train Instrcutional Team for Spring Semester Rollout - December 2018''' ===

*'''Description:'''By the end of the 2018 Autumn Semester, the upcoming instructional teams should be trained in EML concepts to

=== Milestone 4: Implementation of Ohio State Innovation Lab - May, 2021 ===

'''Description:''' By the end of the 2020/2021 Academic Year, we hope to have a fully functioning Innovation Lab in which students have all the required materials to pursue their innovation aspirations. A series of modules will have been established to certify students to use this space, allowing their student ID's access to this space.

= Priority 3: Experiential Learning Initiative =

The Experiential Learning Initiative aims to promote and facilitate more experiential learning opportunities on campus, specifically in the business school and eventually the engineering school. It is also a stepping stone for incorporating more entrepreneurial development on campus that involves students and student-led projects. The peak of learning happens at action and implementation, so it seems counter-intuitive for business students to be learning solely from lecture. This initiative will push the bounds of the current curriculum for multiple classes and encourage more project-based work and real-world learning outcomes.

It is also aimed at encouraging students to start businesses and then house those businesses on-campus, therefore encouraging more students to become involved in start-up initiatives during the school year and beyond. In the long-term, I would love to push for actual community spaces on campus for entrepreneurs to work and recruit directly from Ohio State.

*Fellows Involved: Amun Mehta, Nolan Hanna, Erica Carlson, Astha Rastogi

=== Milestone 1: Pinpointing Classes, November 2018 ===

*'''Description: '''Exploring the Fisher College of Business for classes that have already implemented experiential learning into their curriculm. Then the idea is to see how that can be applied to a wide range of classes and allow as many students as possible to benefit form it. It is important to choose the right classes that have the ability to allow their students more leverage and project-based learning. 

=== Milestone 2: Strategic Partnerships - Feburary 2019 ===

*'''Description: '''Start-ups and businesses in the Columbus area will be targeted and tested as potential partners for this initiative. It is important to find businesses that are willing to work with students, while still giving there time and advice to helping the students succeed in the project. My hope is that all of these business will be local and able to connect with students face-to-face.

=== Milestone 3: '''Project Development - April 2019''' ===

*'''Description: '''Work with professors and businesses to develop feasible projects that will allow students to obtain the same learning outcome they would have in a lecture setting, but in a more applicable way. These projects also need to be scalable. 

=== Milestone 4: Implementation of Experiential Projects - August 2019 ===

'''Description:''' At the start of the 2019-2020 year I would like to have at least one pilot class in place. This is where the project will be implemented and success measured. During this project students will need to work with professionals to tackle an entrepreneurial problem that a local firm is actually facing. 

=== Milestone 5: Collaborative Spaces - April 2020 ===

'''Description:''' By the end of my college career I want to see entrepreneurs and students continuously collaborating on projects and businesses on campus. This initiative is larger covered by my team members, but I am hoping that the experiences students recieve in the classroom will make them better business partners to actual firms in the long run. 

= University Innovation Fellows 2017-2018 =

= Priority 1: Formalizing the Innovation Fellows Program =

The first area of focus is to formalize the UIF program at Ohio State. The University had one previous fellow in 2014, Peeyush Shrivastava. However, since then, the program has not garnered continued support. Therefore, in order to ensure continued success, our first priority is to work with faculty and administrators to ensure the university will have a leadership circle per year.

*'''Description''': A new leadership circle will be selected to apply to the UIF program. With the help of current fellows and stakeholders the new circle will complete the application to the fellows program.

= Priority 2: Expand Innovation and Entrepreneurial Education =

Ohio State has a few programs that teach innovative and entrepreneurial methods including the Entrepreneurship and Innovation minor and the Integrated Business and Engineering (IBE) Honors program. However, these are both multi-year commitments that many students are unwilling to make. In addition to these, we would like to create programming that provides a one semester introduction to concepts such as Lean Startup, Design thinking, and other problem-centric methodologies.

Ohio State is very large university where space for studetns and organizations to collaborate is rather limited. One of the large initiatives we are pushing for are a network of open collaboration spaces, Innovation Labs, across campus. These spaces will be open to student organizations, project groups, and single students and geared towards ideation. These spaces will also be used to run workshops for I&E topics.

Check out our newest leadership group's introduction video: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PxDWK3K9geg&feature=youtu.be https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PxDWK3K9geg&feature=youtu.be]. 

'''Overview'''

The Ohio State University offers premier services to pockets of students through organizations such as the Center for Innovation and Entrepreneurship, Technology Commercialization Office, and various student organization. However, these are not widely utilized within engineering and business, let alone the rest of the university. The typical student receives little to no of the entrepreneurial and innovation education that prepares them for the modern economy. To extend the long-term I&E Ecosystem at Ohio State; to provide students with resources and environments that facilitate innovation learning; to advise, incubate, and accelerate student generated ideas, the following Student Priorities have been created.

= PRIORITY 1: DEVELOPMENT OF UNIVERSITY BOARD FOR INNOVATION & ENTREPRENEURSHIP =

After 3 years of the UIF program at The Ohio State University, we have noticed that our university is lacking an owner for the I&E landscape. As the university becomes more siloed with the growth of its individual colleges, I&E projects continue to be held in the dark due to the lack of communication. The University Innovation Fellows have decided that it will be our continuous priority to own the state of the I&E landscape by creating board 
<ul style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;">
<li>Fellows Involved: Andrew Benisek, Lauren Saggar, Kai McKinney, Jen Schlegel </li>
</ul>

=== Milestone 1: Conduct Stakeholder Meeting - November, 2018 ===
<ul style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;">
<li>Description: During the month of November, our leadership circle shall facilitate a stakeholder meeting with key faculty and administrative personal. The goal of this meeting is to introduce our various ideas as well as establish a fundamental relationship between the student body and faculty moving forward.</li>
</ul>

=== Milestone 2: Invite Faculty to be on the I&E Board - December, 2019 ===
<ul style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;">
<li>Description: After the stakeholder meeting, we want to form a board of faculty advisors from across the various areas of campus to provide a consistent pulse on the I&E developments in their particular department. Getting together the UIF faculty board will not only assist in with the longevity of the UIF program but will help us have the connections across the university required to push new initiatives. </li>
</ul>

=== Milestone 3: Hold 1st Faculty Board Working Session  ===
<ul style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;">
<li>Description:After the board has been set, the UIF program will attempt to host working sessions every semester to help align the groups priorities, create sub-working groups, and get a pulse of changes that have occurred to the campus landscape. </li>
</ul>

=== Milestone 4: Industry Invitations to the Board - April, 2020 ===
<ul style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;">
<li>Description:After multiple semesters in operation, the UIF I&E board would hope to add members of industry onto the board. Industry members will help guide the board in with perspective from outside the university and would ideally help to source resources outside of the reach of students and faculty. </li>
</ul>

= PRIORITY 2: RE-ESTABLISHMENT OF THE STUDENT INNOVATION & ENTREPRENEURSHIP COUNCIL  =

<span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Last year, the UIF team helped to create the Student Innovation and Entrepreneurship Council at The Ohio State University. The council was focused on bringing student leaders in the I&E space together from around campus to discuss what they are doing and encourage open collaboration between organizations. The general idea was that together, we could increase access to entrepreneurship and innovation at Ohio State. 
<ul style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;">
<li>Fellows Involved: Andrew Benisek, Lauren Saggar, Kai McKinney, Jen Schlegel </li>

<ul style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;">
<li>Description: After invitations have been sent, the goal would be to have our first large council meeting at the beginning of Spring semester. This would be a chance for everyone to be updated on what they have been doing and where they plan to head in the short term</li>
</ul>

=== Milestone 3: First Breakout Session - Feb 2020  ===
<ul style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;">
<li>Description:Our goal is to have smaller working groups within SIEC that work to help further a specific initiative in the I&E landscape. Whether this is joint events, joint sourcing of partners and resources, etc. our goal would be for 2  - 3 of these groups to form in the early spring semester. </li>
</ul>

= PRIORITY 3: UIF PROGRAM LONGEVITY  =

The University Innovation Fellows is a program that has impacted the lives of not only the fellows, but many other on campus. However, at a university of Ohio State’s size, it is very difficult to have a sustained impact as cohorts change and projects last outside of the scope of an academic year. As the UIF program, we will be working towards developing a sustainable model for UIF in order to ensure that the program has strategic and constant presence within the University. 
<ul style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;">
<li>Fellows Involved: Andrew Benisek, Lauren Saggar, Kai McKinney, Jen Schlegel, Astha Rastogi, George Varcarcel </li>
</ul>

=== Milestone 1: Addressing Key University Stakeholders - Nov 2019 ===
<ul style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;">

<ul style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;">
<li>Description: The UIF program at the Ohio State University has been housed within a specific college of study. The UIF team plans to have discussions with university administration to determine if this is the best home for our program given our priorities moving forward. </li>
</ul>

=== Milestone 3: Defining Project Lifetimes - March 2020 ===
<ul style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;">
<li>Description: As a program, we must consider the size and complexity of projects we can and cannot take on. As we look to position ourselves as strategic connectors between university silos, we must define what we can and cannot support as a program moving forward.</li>
</ul>

=== Milestone 4: New Recruiting Cycle - March 2012 ===

<span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; background-color: transparent; font-weight: 700; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Description:For the 2020 recruiting season, our programs goal is to increase the diversity of our team to include not only more areas of academic study, but pools of though. By more accurately representing campus on our team, we can better serve the I&E needs of the university. 

= PRIORITY 4: FOSTERING MULTIDISCIPLINARY COLLABORATION =

The Ohio State University is composed of diverse expertise and strong research, but this is often siloed into respective disciplines. Effective impact means that everyone has access to resources and the ability to share perspectives in order to create change on a systematic basis.
<ul style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;">
<li>Fellows Involved: Andrew Benisek, Lauren Saggar, Kai McKinney, Jen Schlegel, Astha Rastogi, George Varcarcel </li>

= University Innovation Fellows 2018-2019  =

= Priority 1: Development of Ohio State Innovation Lab =

The first area of focus for the second fellowship is the development of a physical lab on campus. The Ohio State Univeristy has a strong foundational system for innovation, however, the school now requires a physical to allow students to access Innovation materials. Our method of developing this space will involve vigorous work with faculty to create such a space. 

*Fellows Involved: Amun Mehta, Nolan Hanna, Erica Carlson, Astha Rastogi

=== Milestone 1: Conduct Stakeholder Meeting - November, 2018 ===

*'''Description: '''During the month of November, our leadership circle shall facilitate a stakeholder meeting with key faculty and administrative personal. The goal of this meeting is to introduce our various ideas as well as establish a fundamental relationship between the student body and faculty moving forward.

=== Milestone 2: Begin Conceptual Design of Innovation Lab - February, 2019 ===

*'''Description: '''Begin formalizing a space for the new innovation lab to be built in, with hopes of the location being on North / Central Campus. Using previous designs by Fellows as well as receiving feedback from the student body will be crucial. 

=== Milestone 3: '''Recieve Funding for Establishment of Lab - May, 2020''' ===

*'''Description:'''By the end of the 2019/2020 Academic Year, fuding should be secured for the creation of the Innovation Lab. The process will be given extra time due to the fact that the University has many phases it must go through in order to build such a space.

=== Milestone 4: Implementation of Ohio State Innovation Lab - May, 2021 ===

*'''Description:''' By the end of the 2020/2021 Academic Year, we hope to have a fully functioning Innovation Lab in which students have all the required materials to pursue their innovation aspirations. A series of modules will have been established to certify students to use this space, allowing their student ID's access to this space. 

= Priority 2: Freshman Engineering Curriculum Reform =

The Freshman Engineering Curriculum Reform aims to revamp the second semester design course (ENGR 1182) that all engineering freshmen and those pursuing an engineering minor are required to take. Traditionally, this course is very linear, the curriculum does not promote creativity as much as it should, and does not encourage students to make connections between what they design and how it could create social or economic value. This project is part of a KEEN grant project to promote Entrepreneurial Minded Learning across engineering education at OSU.

*Fellows Involved: Amun Mehta, Nolan Hanna, Erica Carlson, Astha Rastogi

=== Milestone 1: Begin In-Class Pilot, August, 2018 ===

*'''Description: '''During the month of August, initial training of the course's instructional team took place, including teaching assistants. Classes officially began on August 22nd, 2018. KEEN TA's (UIF role) is to be in class, support grading, working on enhancing the instructional team's familiarity with EML, and ultimately gathering feedback to improve the spring course.

=== Milestone 2: Redesign Course Material - October 2018 ===

*'''Description: '''In October, enough feedback will have been compiled from the fuzzy front end of the course to serve as data for beginning the redesign of the pilot course for spring 2019 semester. In spring 2019 there will be 8 sections of the EML Freshman Design Project

=== Milestone 4: Implementation of Ohio State Innovation Lab - May, 2021 ===

'''Description:''' By the end of the 2020/2021 Academic Year, we hope to have a fully functioning Innovation Lab in which students have all the required materials to pursue their innovation aspirations. A series of modules will have been established to certify students to use this space, allowing their student ID's access to this space.

= Priority 3: Experiential Learning Initiative =

The Experiential Learning Initiative aims to promote and facilitate more experiential learning opportunities on campus, specifically in the business school and eventually the engineering school. It is also a stepping stone for incorporating more entrepreneurial development on campus that involves students and student-led projects. The peak of learning happens at action and implementation, so it seems counter-intuitive for business students to be learning solely from lecture. This initiative will push the bounds of the current curriculum for multiple classes and encourage more project-based work and real-world learning outcomes.

It is also aimed at encouraging students to start businesses and then house those businesses on-campus, therefore encouraging more students to become involved in start-up initiatives during the school year and beyond. In the long-term, I would love to push for actual community spaces on campus for entrepreneurs to work and recruit directly from Ohio State.

*Fellows Involved: Amun Mehta, Nolan Hanna, Erica Carlson, Astha Rastogi

=== Milestone 1: Pinpointing Classes, November 2018 ===

*'''Description: '''Exploring the Fisher College of Business for classes that have already implemented experiential learning into their curriculm. Then the idea is to see how that can be applied to a wide range of classes and allow as many students as possible to benefit form it. It is important to choose the right classes that have the ability to allow their students more leverage and project-based learning. 

=== Milestone 2: Strategic Partnerships - Feburary 2019 ===

*'''Description: '''Start-ups and businesses in the Columbus area will be targeted and tested as potential partners for this initiative. It is important to find businesses that are willing to work with students, while still giving there time and advice to helping the students succeed in the project. My hope is that all of these business will be local and able to connect with students face-to-face.

=== Milestone 3: '''Project Development - April 2019''' ===

*'''Description: '''Work with professors and businesses to develop feasible projects that will allow students to obtain the same learning outcome they would have in a lecture setting, but in a more applicable way. These projects also need to be scalable. 

=== Milestone 4: Implementation of Experiential Projects - August 2019 ===

'''Description:''' At the start of the 2019-2020 year I would like to have at least one pilot class in place. This is where the project will be implemented and success measured. During this project students will need to work with professionals to tackle an entrepreneurial problem that a local firm is actually facing. 

=== Milestone 5: Collaborative Spaces - April 2020 ===

'''Description:''' By the end of my college career I want to see entrepreneurs and students continuously collaborating on projects and businesses on campus. This initiative is larger covered by my team members, but I am hoping that the experiences students recieve in the classroom will make them better business partners to actual firms in the long run.

= Priority 1: Formalizing the Innovation Fellows Program =

The first area of focus is to formalize the UIF program at Ohio State. The University had one previous fellow in 2014, Peeyush Shrivastava. However, since then, the program has not garnered continued support. Therefore, in order to ensure continued success, our first priority is to work with faculty and administrators to ensure the university will have a leadership circle per year.

= Priority 2: Expand Innovation and Entrepreneurial Education =

Ohio State has a few programs that teach innovative and entrepreneurial methods including the Entrepreneurship and Innovation minor and the Integrated Business and Engineering (IBE) Honors program. However, these are both multi-year commitments that many students are unwilling to make. In addition to these, we would like to create programming that provides a one semester introduction to concepts such as Lean Startup, Design thinking, and other problem-centric methodologies.

Check out our newest leadership group's introduction video: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PxDWK3K9geg&feature=youtu.be https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PxDWK3K9geg&feature=youtu.be]. 

'''Overview'''

The Ohio State University offers premier services to pockets of students through organizations such as the Center for Innovation and Entrepreneurship, Technology Commercialization Office, and various student organization. However, these are not widely utilized within engineering and business, let alone the rest of the university. The typical student receives little to no of the entrepreneurial and innovation education that prepares them for the modern economy. To extend the long-term I&E Ecosystem at Ohio State; to provide students with resources and environments that facilitate innovation learning; to advise, incubate, and accelerate student generated ideas, the following Student Priorities have been created.

= University Innovation Fellows 2018-2019  =

= Priority 1: Development of Ohio State Innovation Lab =

The first area of focus for the second fellowship is the development of a physical lab on campus. The Ohio State Univeristy has a strong foundational system for innovation, however, the school now requires a physical to allow students to access Innovation materials. Our method of developing this space will involve vigorous work with faculty to create such a space. 

*Fellows Involved: Amun Mehta, Nolan Hanna, Erica Carlson, Astha Rastogi

=== Milestone 1: Conduct Stakeholder Meeting - November, 2018 ===

*'''Description: '''During the month of November, our leadership circle shall facilitate a stakeholder meeting with key faculty and administrative personal. The goal of this meeting is to introduce our various ideas as well as establish a fundamental relationship between the student body and faculty moving forward.

=== Milestone 2: Begin Conceptual Design of Innovation Lab - February, 2019 ===

*'''Description: '''Begin formalizing a space for the new innovation lab to be built in, with hopes of the location being on North / Central Campus. Using previous designs by Fellows as well as receiving feedback from the student body will be crucial. 

=== Milestone 3: '''Recieve Funding for Establishment of Lab - May, 2020''' ===

*'''Description:'''By the end of the 2019/2020 Academic Year, fuding should be secured for the creation of the Innovation Lab. The process will be given extra time due to the fact that the University has many phases it must go through in order to build such a space.

=== Milestone 4: Implementation of Ohio State Innovation Lab - May, 2021 ===

*'''Description:''' By the end of the 2020/2021 Academic Year, we hope to have a fully functioning Innovation Lab in which students have all the required materials to pursue their innovation aspirations. A series of modules will have been established to certify students to use this space, allowing their student ID's access to this space. 

= Priority 2: Freshman Engineering Curriculum Reform =

The Freshman Engineering Curriculum Reform aims to revamp the second semester design course (ENGR 1182) that all engineering freshmen and those pursuing an engineering minor are required to take. Traditionally, this course is very linear, the curriculum does not promote creativity as much as it should, and does not encourage students to make connections between what they design and how it could create social or economic value. This project is part of a KEEN grant project to promote Entrepreneurial Minded Learning across engineering education at OSU.

*Fellows Involved: Amun Mehta, Nolan Hanna, Erica Carlson, Astha Rastogi

=== Milestone 1: Begin In-Class Pilot, August, 2018 ===

*'''Description: '''During the month of August, initial training of the course's instructional team took place, including teaching assistants. Classes officially began on August 22nd, 2018. KEEN TA's (UIF role) is to be in class, support grading, working on enhancing the instructional team's familiarity with EML, and ultimately gathering feedback to improve the spring course.

A series of modules will have been established to certify students to use this space, allowing their student ID's access to this space.

= Priority 3: Experiential Learning Initiative =

The Experiential Learning Initiative aims to promote and facilitate more experiential learning opportunities on campus, specifically in the business school and eventually the engineering school. It is also a stepping stone for incorporating more entrepreneurial development on campus that involves students and student-led projects. The peak of learning happens at action and implementation, so it seems counter-intuitive for business students to be learning solely from lecture. This initiative will push the bounds of the current curriculum for multiple classes and encourage more project-based work and real-world learning outcomes.

It is also aimed at encouraging students to start businesses and then house those businesses on-campus, therefore encouraging more students to become involved in start-up initiatives during the school year and beyond. In the long-term, I would love to push for actual community spaces on campus for entrepreneurs to work and recruit directly from Ohio State.

*Fellows Involved: Amun Mehta, Nolan Hanna, Erica Carlson, Astha Rastogi

=== Milestone 1: Pinpointing Classes, November 2018 ===

*'''Description: '''Exploring the Fisher College of Business for classes that have already implemented experiential learning into their curriculm. Then the idea is to see how that can be applied to a wide range of classes and allow as many students as possible to benefit form it. It is important to choose the right classes that have the ability to allow their students more leverage and project-based learning. 

=== Milestone 2: Strategic Partnerships - Feburary 2019 ===

*'''Description: '''Start-ups and businesses in the Columbus area will be targeted and tested as potential partners for this initiative. It is important to find businesses that are willing to work with students, while still giving there time and advice to helping the students succeed in the project. My hope is that all of these business will be local and able to connect with students face-to-face.

=== Milestone 3: '''Project Development - April 2019''' ===

*'''Description: '''Work with professors and businesses to develop feasible projects that will allow students to obtain the same learning outcome they would have in a lecture setting, but in a more applicable way. These projects also need to be scalable. 

=== Milestone 4: Implementation of Experiential Projects - August 2019 ===

'''Description:''' At the start of the 2019-2020 year I would like to have at least one pilot class in place. This is where the project will be implemented and success measured. During this project students will need to work with professionals to tackle an entrepreneurial problem that a local firm is actually facing. 

=== Milestone 5: Collaborative Spaces - April 2020 ===

'''Description:''' By the end of my college career I want to see entrepreneurs and students continuously collaborating on projects and businesses on campus. This initiative is larger covered by my team members, but I am hoping that the experiences students recieve in the classroom will make them better business partners to actual firms in the long run.

Mrash97: /* PRIORITY 1: DEVELOPMENT OF OHIO STATE ALUMNI STARTUP SPOTLIGHT */

Check out our newest leadership group's introduction video: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PxDWK3K9geg&feature=youtu.be https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PxDWK3K9geg&feature=youtu.be]. 

'''Overview'''

The Ohio State University offers premier services to pockets of students through organizations such as the Center for Innovation and Entrepreneurship, Technology Commercialization Office, and various student organization. However, these are not widely utilized within engineering and business, let alone the rest of the university. The typical student receives little to no of the entrepreneurial and innovation education that prepares them for the modern economy. To extend the long-term I&E Ecosystem at Ohio State; to provide students with resources and environments that facilitate innovation learning; to advise, incubate, and accelerate student generated ideas, the following Student Priorities have been created.

= PRIORITY 1: DEVELOPMENT OF UNIVERSITY BOARD FOR INNOVATION & ENTREPRENEURSHIP =

After 3 years of the UIF program at The Ohio State University, we have noticed that our university is lacking an owner for the I&E landscape. As the university becomes more siloed with the growth of its individual colleges, I&E projects continue to be held in the dark due to the lack of communication. The University Innovation Fellows have decided that it will be our continuous priority to own the state of the I&E landscape by creating board

= PRIORITY 3: UIF PROGRAM LONGEVITY  =

The University Innovation Fellows is a program that has impacted the lives of not only the fellows, but many other on campus. However, at a university of Ohio State’s size, it is very difficult to have a sustained impact as cohorts change and projects last outside of the scope of an academic year. As the UIF program, we will be working towards developing a sustainable model for UIF in order to ensure that the program has strategic and constant presence within the University. 
<ul style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;">
<li>Fellows Involved: Andrew Benisek, Lauren Saggar, Kai McKinney, Jen Schlegel, Astha Rastogi, George Varcarcel </li>

<ul style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;">
<li>Description: The UIF program at the Ohio State University has been housed within a specific college of study. The UIF team plans to have discussions with university administration to determine if this is the best home for our program given our priorities moving forward. </li>
</ul>

=== Milestone 3: Defining Project Lifetimes - March 2020 ===
<ul style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;">
<li>Description: As a program, we must consider the size and complexity of projects we can and cannot take on. As we look to position ourselves as strategic connectors between university silos, we must define what we can and cannot support as a program moving forward.</li>
</ul>

=== Milestone 4: New Recruiting Cycle - March 2012 ===

<span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; background-color: transparent; font-weight: 700; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Description:For the 2020 recruiting season, our programs goal is to increase the diversity of our team to include not only more areas of academic study, but pools of though. By more accurately representing campus on our team, we can better serve the I&E needs of the university. 

= PRIORITY 4: FOSTERING MULTIDISCIPLINARY COLLABORATION =

The Ohio State University is composed of diverse expertise and strong research, but this is often siloed into respective disciplines. Effective impact means that everyone has access to resources and the ability to share perspectives in order to create change on a systematic basis.

= Priority 1: Development of Ohio State Innovation Lab =

The first area of focus for the second fellowship is the development of a physical lab on campus. The Ohio State Univeristy has a strong foundational system for innovation, however, the school now requires a physical to allow students to access Innovation materials. Our method of developing this space will involve vigorous work with faculty to create such a space. 

*Fellows Involved: Amun Mehta, Nolan Hanna, Erica Carlson, Astha Rastogi

=== Milestone 1: Conduct Stakeholder Meeting - November, 2018 ===

*'''Description: '''During the month of November, our leadership circle shall facilitate a stakeholder meeting with key faculty and administrative personal. The goal of this meeting is to introduce our various ideas as well as establish a fundamental relationship between the student body and faculty moving forward.

=== Milestone 2: Begin Conceptual Design of Innovation Lab - February, 2019 ===

*'''Description: '''Begin formalizing a space for the new innovation lab to be built in, with hopes of the location being on North / Central Campus. Using previous designs by Fellows as well as receiving feedback from the student body will be crucial. 

=== Milestone 3: '''Recieve Funding for Establishment of Lab - May, 2020''' ===

*'''Description:'''By the end of the 2019/2020 Academic Year, fuding should be secured for the creation of the Innovation Lab. The process will be given extra time due to the fact that the University has many phases it must go through in order to build such a space.

=== Milestone 4: Implementation of Ohio State Innovation Lab - May, 2021 ===

*'''Description:''' By the end of the 2020/2021 Academic Year, we hope to have a fully functioning Innovation Lab in which students have all the required materials to pursue their innovation aspirations. A series of modules will have been established to certify students to use this space, allowing their student ID's access to this space. 

= Priority 2: Freshman Engineering Curriculum Reform =

The Freshman Engineering Curriculum Reform aims to revamp the second semester design course (ENGR 1182) that all engineering freshmen and those pursuing an engineering minor are required to take. Traditionally, this course is very linear, the curriculum does not promote creativity as much as it should, and does not encourage students to make connections between what they design and how it could create social or economic value. This project is part of a KEEN grant project to promote Entrepreneurial Minded Learning across engineering education at OSU.

*Fellows Involved: Amun Mehta, Nolan Hanna, Erica Carlson, Astha Rastogi

=== Milestone 1: Begin In-Class Pilot, August, 2018 ===

*'''Description: '''During the month of August, initial training of the course's instructional team took place, including teaching assistants. Classes officially began on August 22nd, 2018. KEEN TA's (UIF role) is to be in class, support grading, working on enhancing the instructional team's familiarity with EML, and ultimately gathering feedback to improve the spring course.

=== Milestone 2: Redesign Course Material - October 2018 ===

*'''Description: '''In October, enough feedback will have been compiled from the fuzzy front end of the course to serve as data for beginning the redesign of the pilot course for spring 2019 semester. In spring 2019 there will be 8 sections of the EML Freshman Design Project

=== Milestone 3: '''Train Instrcutional Team for Spring Semester Rollout - December 2018''' ===

*'''Description:'''By the end of the 2018 Autumn Semester, the upcoming instructional teams should be trained in EML concepts to

=== Milestone 4: Implementation of Ohio State Innovation Lab - May, 2021 ===

'''Description:''' By the end of the 2020/2021 Academic Year, we hope to have a fully functioning Innovation Lab in which students have all the required materials to pursue their innovation aspirations. A series of modules will have been established to certify students to use this space, allowing their student ID's access to this space.

= Priority 3: Experiential Learning Initiative =

The Experiential Learning Initiative aims to promote and facilitate more experiential learning opportunities on campus, specifically in the business school and eventually the engineering school. It is also a stepping stone for incorporating more entrepreneurial development on campus that involves students and student-led projects. The peak of learning happens at action and implementation, so it seems counter-intuitive for business students to be learning solely from lecture. This initiative will push the bounds of the current curriculum for multiple classes and encourage more project-based work and real-world learning outcomes.

It is also aimed at encouraging students to start businesses and then house those businesses on-campus, therefore encouraging more students to become involved in start-up initiatives during the school year and beyond. In the long-term, I would love to push for actual community spaces on campus for entrepreneurs to work and recruit directly from Ohio State.

*Fellows Involved: Amun Mehta, Nolan Hanna, Erica Carlson, Astha Rastogi

=== Milestone 1: Pinpointing Classes, November 2018 ===

*'''Description: '''Exploring the Fisher College of Business for classes that have already implemented experiential learning into their curriculm. Then the idea is to see how that can be applied to a wide range of classes and allow as many students as possible to benefit form it. It is important to choose the right classes that have the ability to allow their students more leverage and project-based learning. 

=== Milestone 2: Strategic Partnerships - Feburary 2019 ===

*'''Description: '''Start-ups and businesses in the Columbus area will be targeted and tested as potential partners for this initiative. It is important to find businesses that are willing to work with students, while still giving there time and advice to helping the students succeed in the project. My hope is that all of these business will be local and able to connect with students face-to-face.

=== Milestone 3: '''Project Development - April 2019''' ===

*'''Description: '''Work with professors and businesses to develop feasible projects that will allow students to obtain the same learning outcome they would have in a lecture setting, but in a more applicable way. These projects also need to be scalable. 

=== Milestone 4: Implementation of Experiential Projects - August 2019 ===

'''Description:''' At the start of the 2019-2020 year I would like to have at least one pilot class in place. This is where the project will be implemented and success measured. During this project students will need to work with professionals to tackle an entrepreneurial problem that a local firm is actually facing. 

=== Milestone 5: Collaborative Spaces - April 2020 ===

'''Description:''' By the end of my college career I want to see entrepreneurs and students continuously collaborating on projects and businesses on campus. This initiative is larger covered by my team members, but I am hoping that the experiences students recieve in the classroom will make them better business partners to actual firms in the long run. 

= University Innovation Fellows 2017-2018 =

= Priority 1: Formalizing the Innovation Fellows Program =

The first area of focus is to formalize the UIF program at Ohio State. The University had one previous fellow in 2014, Peeyush Shrivastava. However, since then, the program has not garnered continued support. Therefore, in order to ensure continued success, our first priority is to work with faculty and administrators to ensure the university will have a leadership circle per year.

= Priority 2: Expand Innovation and Entrepreneurial Education =

Ohio State has a few programs that teach innovative and entrepreneurial methods including the Entrepreneurship and Innovation minor and the Integrated Business and Engineering (IBE) Honors program. However, these are both multi-year commitments that many students are unwilling to make. In addition to these, we would like to create programming that provides a one semester introduction to concepts such as Lean Startup, Design thinking, and other problem-centric methodologies.

Check out our newest leadership group's introduction video: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PxDWK3K9geg&feature=youtu.be https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PxDWK3K9geg&feature=youtu.be]. 

'''Overview'''

The Ohio State University offers premier services to pockets of students through organizations such as the Center for Innovation and Entrepreneurship, Technology Commercialization Office, and various student organization. However, these are not widely utilized within engineering and business, let alone the rest of the university. The typical student receives little to no of the entrepreneurial and innovation education that prepares them for the modern economy. To extend the long-term I&E Ecosystem at Ohio State; to provide students with resources and environments that facilitate innovation learning; to advise, incubate, and accelerate student generated ideas, the following Student Priorities have been created.

= PRIORITY 1: DEVELOPMENT OF UNIVERSITY BOARD FOR INNOVATION & ENTREPRENEURSHIP =

After 3 years of the UIF program at The Ohio State University, we have noticed that our university is lacking an owner for the I&E landscape. As the university becomes more siloed with the growth of its individual colleges, I&E projects continue to be held in the dark due to the lack of communication. The University Innovation Fellows have decided that it will be our continuous priority to own the state of the I&E landscape by creating board 
<ul style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;">
<li>Fellows Involved: Andrew Benisek, Lauren Saggar, Kai McKinney, Jen Schlegel </li>
</ul>

=== Milestone 1: Conduct Stakeholder Meeting - November, 2018 ===
<ul style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;">
<li>Description: During the month of November, our leadership circle shall facilitate a stakeholder meeting with key faculty and administrative personal. The goal of this meeting is to introduce our various ideas as well as establish a fundamental relationship between the student body and faculty moving forward.</li>
</ul>

=== Milestone 2: Invite Faculty to be on the I&E Board - December, 2019 ===
<ul style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;">
<li>Description: After the stakeholder meeting, we want to form a board of faculty advisors from across the various areas of campus to provide a consistent pulse on the I&E developments in their particular department. Getting together the UIF faculty board will not only assist in with the longevity of the UIF program but will help us have the connections across the university required to push new initiatives. </li>
</ul>

=== Milestone 3: Hold 1st Faculty Board Working Session  ===
<ul style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;">
<li>Description:After the board has been set, the UIF program will attempt to host working sessions every semester to help align the groups priorities, create sub-working groups, and get a pulse of changes that have occurred to the campus landscape. </li>
</ul>

=== Milestone 4: Industry Invitations to the Board - April, 2020 ===
<ul style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;">
<li>Description:After multiple semesters in operation, the UIF I&E board would hope to add members of industry onto the board. Industry members will help guide the board in with perspective from outside the university and would ideally help to source resources outside of the reach of students and faculty. </li>
</ul>

<span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Last year, the UIF team helped to create the Student Innovation and Entrepreneurship Council at The Ohio State University. The council was focused on bringing student leaders in the I&E space together from around campus to discuss what they are doing and encourage open collaboration between organizations. The general idea was that together, we could increase access to entrepreneurship and innovation at Ohio State.

<li>Description: After invitations have been sent, the goal would be to have our first large council meeting at the beginning of Spring semester. This would be a chance for everyone to be updated on what they have been doing and where they plan to head in the short term</li>
</ul>

=== Milestone 3: First Breakout Session - Feb 2020  ===
<ul style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;">
<li>Description:Our goal is to have smaller working groups within SIEC that work to help further a specific initiative in the I&E landscape. Whether this is joint events, joint sourcing of partners and resources, etc. our goal would be for 2  - 3 of these groups to form in the early spring semester. </li>
</ul>

= PRIORITY 3: UIF PROGRAM LONGEVITY  =

The University Innovation Fellows is a program that has impacted the lives of not only the fellows, but many other on campus. However, at a university of Ohio State’s size, it is very difficult to have a sustained impact as cohorts change and projects last outside of the scope of an academic year. As the UIF program, we will be working towards developing a sustainable model for UIF in order to ensure that the program has strategic and constant presence within the University.

= University Innovation Fellows 2018-2019  =

= Priority 1: Development of Ohio State Innovation Lab =

The first area of focus for the second fellowship is the development of a physical lab on campus. The Ohio State Univeristy has a strong foundational system for innovation, however, the school now requires a physical to allow students to access Innovation materials. Our method of developing this space will involve vigorous work with faculty to create such a space. 

*Fellows Involved: Amun Mehta, Nolan Hanna, Erica Carlson, Astha Rastogi

=== Milestone 1: Conduct Stakeholder Meeting - November, 2018 ===

*'''Description: '''During the month of November, our leadership circle shall facilitate a stakeholder meeting with key faculty and administrative personal. The goal of this meeting is to introduce our various ideas as well as establish a fundamental relationship between the student body and faculty moving forward.

=== Milestone 2: Begin Conceptual Design of Innovation Lab - February, 2019 ===

*'''Description: '''Begin formalizing a space for the new innovation lab to be built in, with hopes of the location being on North / Central Campus. Using previous designs by Fellows as well as receiving feedback from the student body will be crucial. 

=== Milestone 3: '''Recieve Funding for Establishment of Lab - May, 2020''' ===

*'''Description:'''By the end of the 2019/2020 Academic Year, fuding should be secured for the creation of the Innovation Lab. The process will be given extra time due to the fact that the University has many phases it must go through in order to build such a space.

=== Milestone 4: Implementation of Ohio State Innovation Lab - May, 2021 ===

*'''Description:''' By the end of the 2020/2021 Academic Year, we hope to have a fully functioning Innovation Lab in which students have all the required materials to pursue their innovation aspirations. A series of modules will have been established to certify students to use this space, allowing their student ID's access to this space. 

= Priority 2: Freshman Engineering Curriculum Reform =

The Freshman Engineering Curriculum Reform aims to revamp the second semester design course (ENGR 1182) that all engineering freshmen and those pursuing an engineering minor are required to take. Traditionally, this course is very linear, the curriculum does not promote creativity as much as it should, and does not encourage students to make connections between what they design and how it could create social or economic value. This project is part of a KEEN grant project to promote Entrepreneurial Minded Learning across engineering education at OSU.

*Fellows Involved: Amun Mehta, Nolan Hanna, Erica Carlson, Astha Rastogi

=== Milestone 1: Begin In-Class Pilot, August, 2018 ===

*'''Description: '''During the month of August, initial training of the course's instructional team took place, including teaching assistants. Classes officially began on August 22nd, 2018. KEEN TA's (UIF role) is to be in class, support grading, working on enhancing the instructional team's familiarity with EML, and ultimately gathering feedback to improve the spring course.

=== Milestone 2: Redesign Course Material - October 2018 ===

*'''Description: '''In October, enough feedback will have been compiled from the fuzzy front end of the course to serve as data for beginning the redesign of the pilot course for spring 2019 semester. In spring 2019 there will be 8 sections of the EML Freshman Design Project

=== Milestone 4: Implementation of Ohio State Innovation Lab - May, 2021 ===

'''Description:''' By the end of the 2020/2021 Academic Year, we hope to have a fully functioning Innovation Lab in which students have all the required materials to pursue their innovation aspirations. A series of modules will have been established to certify students to use this space, allowing their student ID's access to this space.

= Priority 3: Experiential Learning Initiative =

The Experiential Learning Initiative aims to promote and facilitate more experiential learning opportunities on campus, specifically in the business school and eventually the engineering school. It is also a stepping stone for incorporating more entrepreneurial development on campus that involves students and student-led projects. The peak of learning happens at action and implementation, so it seems counter-intuitive for business students to be learning solely from lecture. This initiative will push the bounds of the current curriculum for multiple classes and encourage more project-based work and real-world learning outcomes.

It is also aimed at encouraging students to start businesses and then house those businesses on-campus, therefore encouraging more students to become involved in start-up initiatives during the school year and beyond. In the long-term, I would love to push for actual community spaces on campus for entrepreneurs to work and recruit directly from Ohio State.

*Fellows Involved: Amun Mehta, Nolan Hanna, Erica Carlson, Astha Rastogi

=== Milestone 1: Pinpointing Classes, November 2018 ===

*'''Description: '''Exploring the Fisher College of Business for classes that have already implemented experiential learning into their curriculm. Then the idea is to see how that can be applied to a wide range of classes and allow as many students as possible to benefit form it. It is important to choose the right classes that have the ability to allow their students more leverage and project-based learning. 

=== Milestone 2: Strategic Partnerships - Feburary 2019 ===

*'''Description: '''Start-ups and businesses in the Columbus area will be targeted and tested as potential partners for this initiative. It is important to find businesses that are willing to work with students, while still giving there time and advice to helping the students succeed in the project. My hope is that all of these business will be local and able to connect with students face-to-face.

=== Milestone 3: '''Project Development - April 2019''' ===

*'''Description: '''Work with professors and businesses to develop feasible projects that will allow students to obtain the same learning outcome they would have in a lecture setting, but in a more applicable way. These projects also need to be scalable. 

=== Milestone 4: Implementation of Experiential Projects - August 2019 ===

'''Description:''' At the start of the 2019-2020 year I would like to have at least one pilot class in place. This is where the project will be implemented and success measured. During this project students will need to work with professionals to tackle an entrepreneurial problem that a local firm is actually facing. 

=== Milestone 5: Collaborative Spaces - April 2020 ===

'''Description:''' By the end of my college career I want to see entrepreneurs and students continuously collaborating on projects and businesses on campus. This initiative is larger covered by my team members, but I am hoping that the experiences students recieve in the classroom will make them better business partners to actual firms in the long run.

= Priority 2: Expand Innovation and Entrepreneurial Education =

Ohio State has a few programs that teach innovative and entrepreneurial methods including the Entrepreneurship and Innovation minor and the Integrated Business and Engineering (IBE) Honors program. However, these are both multi-year commitments that many students are unwilling to make. In addition to these, we would like to create programming that provides a one semester introduction to concepts such as Lean Startup, Design thinking, and other problem-centric methodologies.

One of the priorities the fellows will be leading is to foster an entrepreneurial and innovative community on campus as well as enhance the quantitiy and availability of mentorship, funding, and accelerators.

Many VC's have been invited to come from across the country and there will be keynote speakers featuring successful entreprenueurs. The goal of this event is to raise awareness for the OSU/Midwest entrepreneurial community and inspire students to pursue their ideas.</li>

<li>'''Description''': Currently there is no support for student founders on OSU's campus. Student entrepreneurs mostly have to create solutions and make decision completely by themselves without any mentorship from industry experts and this barriers are turning many students away from pursuing their startup ideas. The fellows plan on working with the administration as well as other related parties in the Colubmus area to eventually open up an accelerator program where student founders can be put through a rigorous program where their will fine tune their ideas and get the funding and mentorship they need to successfully launch their business.</li>

=Student Innovation and Entrepreneurship=

The Ohio State University is a flagship in forward-thinking and innovation in the Midwest. Being next to Columbus, one of the fastest growing startup cities in the country, students are becoming more aware of the entrepreneurial community around them thus leading them to take more interest in entrepreneurship. This progress in student endeavours related to innovation is complemented by institutional and organizational transitions on campus. The Keenan Center for Entrepreneurship (KCE), a university-wide center is supporting and establishing more programming directed towards students from every discipline who are interested in entrepreneurship and establishing connections between students and mentors, providing the resources they need to pursue their ventures. Additionally, the Center for Innovative Studies (CIS), within the Fisher College of Business, is a center for innovative thinking on campus.

The Best Of Student Startup Competition (BOSS) is one of KCE’s signature events that brings together the best startup ideas on campus in a competition setting where the top team wins money and direct connection to industry expertise.. Another growing KCE event is LaunchpadOSU, an accessible, on-campus startup weekend event designed to bring students from every major together around entrepreneurship. Several student organizations on campus are also focusing on entrepreneurship in order to foster more student innovation.

OHI/O hosts a variety of competitions on campus that target computer science, data analytics, and engineering majors. Through events like HackOHI/O, MakeOHI/O, and Data AI, students are able to brainstorm and develop prototypes that spark impactful and creative projects that often reach beyond the tech industry. These events provide opportunities for networking, teamwork, and innovation.

The Business Builders Club hosts pitch competitions like IdeaPitch and signature events like The Startup Career Fair in order to provide a foundation for innovation on campus and connect current founders to the resources they need. Business Builders Club has grown significantly over the past two years, indicating an overall rise in student entrepreneurship initiatives at Ohio State. This increased interest and entrepreneurship will continue to grow and evolve as more alumni founders come back to campus and more venture firms enter into Columbus looking for early stage startups.

=Faculty Innovation and Entrepreneurship=

Faculty at The Ohio State University are renowned academic researchers, creating applications with potential for widespread impact in areas ranging from third world public health solutions, all the way to access to basic resources and materials while maximizing cost efficiency. However, recent assessments of faculty perception of innovation and entrepreneurship on campus has yielded some troubled thoughts on what faculty thinks is available to help see their ideas through the product life-cycle, and what is actually available. Faculty have a misperception that there is a lack of resources designated towards them specifically.

The reality of the situation is that there are several organizations on campus aimed at assisting faculty in entrepreneurial endeavors. Adjunct faculty in the Department of Biomedical Informatics have been widely successful with a number of commercial activities, ranging from consultancy work to founding and creating their own software and clinical workflow startups. In fact, many of these startups have gone on to become mainstream components of the Ohio State University workflow and gold standards, a feat depicting the high levels of support that are offered to faculty through organizations like Rev1 Ventures, BioOhio and the Technology Commercialization Office and IDEA Studio at Ohio State.

More recent innovative efforts from faculty members have sparked new ideas that address how current technology can increase productivity and engagement in the classroom. Innovate hosts an annual conference at Ohio State than brings educators, administrators, and tech-professionals together to enhance student learning through reimagined best practices and innovative approaches that utilize recent technological advances. From incorporating virtual and augmented reality into learning methodologies to addressing access and affordability, this group is innovating solutions to some of the university’s most pressing issues.

Overall, engagement with large corporate innovation remains heavily in the silos of specific research departments. As a whole, the university is looking to use their Corporate Development office as a tool to facilitate touchpoints with companies looking for innovative technologies or sponsored university projects. One of the best examples of this is the Institute for Materials Research which connects its network of faculty and researchers to companies looking to solve their toughest problems with physical materials.

Recently, Ohio State became part of the KERN Entrepreneurship Education Network. Essentially, this partnership provides a foundation to increase the amount of faculty engagement with I&E. Lastly, the Institute for Materials Research connects its network of faculty and researchers to companies looking for help solving their most pressing problems. Utilizing an interdisciplinary approach, they provide exceptional results and access to companies.

=University Technology Transfer Function=

The Technology Commercialization Office (TCO) at The Ohio State University offers excellent services ranging from IP strategy and protection to idea generation and student entrepreneurial incubation. In particular, programs like Wake Up Start Up and the BOSS Competition encourage entrepreneurship and company formation around cutting-edge student ideas to push the bounds of what is possible at Ohio State. Moreover, the TCO offers unparalleled opportunities for entrepreneurs who are passionately dedicated game changers - access to key networks, introductions to TechColumbus and other key investors, accelerators and growth partners are just a few of the several functionalities that the TCO provides.

Still, the main pain point of the Technology Commercialization Office is that they do not give students easy enough access to the technology that Ohio State researches. This disables them from forming companies around these innovative technological advances.

With regards to tech commercialization, faculty members are unaware of the many beneficial resources readily available with help of the TCO. As a result, Ohio State has seen subpar commercialization, both in terms of quantity and quality when it comes to pipeline products. To combat this, the university has seen several clubs form with a mission to lubricate the pipeline. One of the notable organizations involved here is Universities Allied for Essential Medicines (UAEM).

=Regional and Local Economic Development Efforts=

The Ohio State University has partnered with several well-established institutions with the intention of recruiting talent and promoting regional economic development in the area. Partnerships with TechColumbus and Drive Capital have generated millions of dollars in value, while providing entrepreneurs, both students and faculty, with the opportunity to incubate, accelerate and fundraise within one geographic vicinity. Ohio State is known for its excellent academic research and, in an effort to sponsor truly translational innovation, has partnered with these groups to build value. With the University beginning construction on a state-of-the-art interdisciplinary research facility to be part of its newly designed innovation district on West Campus, Ohio State has shown that it is dedicated to providing resources for start-ups to succeed in solving modern problems in conjunction with the University.

The Ohio State University is also dedicated to its support of regional powerhouses - Columbus is rated the most intelligent city in the nation for its plethora of big companies and corporate power, including but not limited to Cardinal Health, JPM, Limited Brands and more. This has encouraged more big business in the area, thereby introducing the need for innovative startups. Many of the agile organizations often see support from Ohio State's many big partners.

Similarly, partnerships with Venture Capitalists and Institutional Funds such as Lumos Innovation, Rev1 Ventures and Prototype Capital have infused the campus with countless resources from the thriving local community. Students can interact with this network to grow their ideas and businesses while receiving mentorship and economic support from experts in the area. As Columbus climbs towards becoming the fastest growing city in America, it is crucial that Ohio State students take advantage of the infinite opportunities in their own backyard.

=Ohio State's Entrepreneurial Rating=

Objectively, The Ohio State University deserves an 6/10 for entrepreneurial activity. This is simply due to the fact that there has been significant growth and support of innovation for student ideas. The university has created several resources for student idea generation and incubation, and Columbus has a thriving startup community, now home to the largest maker space in the country. Dr. Camp, an Executive Director at the Center for Entrepreneurship at Fisher College of Business, is incredibly supportive of the I&E ecosystem on campus and has helped facilitate the development and growth of highly technical concepts into working business models that are investor and customer worthy. 

The Ohio State University is lacking, however, in firmly convincing faculty of the importance and pragmatism underlying commercialization of their ideas. The commercialization effort should be more succinct and efficient with the faculty taking a more active approach in strategizing. With a top-notch cancer treatment and research facility, The Ohio State University should be generating a lot more game-changing drugs, diagnostics and research tools that we have seen in the market in the last decade. Assuming the activity of OSU UIFs remains high, this rating can be expected to improve on both quantitative and qualitative metrics.

Moreover, while the Ohio State Univerisity recognizes the entrepreneurial work of its faculty, it is missing a large piece of the puzzle: its students. On the campus, students are lacking unique spaces to join together and create. Whether it involves design thinking, product development, or simply being surrounded by like-minded entrepreneurial students, there are no places on campus to do so. It is necessary to provide an area for students to foster a community of changemakers that will drive the University towards student-led success.

Using the framework of the What I.F. Club at UGA, this resource clearly and effectively outlines step by step considerations for the establishment of a club or class that is entirely student-driven. Going into this resource, I had a rough idea of where to start, but had never considered several of the main points.
