&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;'''Overview&amp;amp;nbsp;'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size: medium;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Located in the foothills of Greenville, South Carolina - Furman University is one of the nation's premier undergraduate liberal arts colleges. At 2600 students, Furman is known for outstanding faculty and student relationships, its approach towards engaged learning, its robust visual and performing arts program and its competitive NCAA Division I athletics. Furman prides itself on its unique academic program, which teaches students how to think critically, how to evaluate and create, and how to see multiple perspectives through the lens of empathy. Built upon these principles, students graduate broadly-educated, well-rounded, prepared for leadership and eager to take on the challenges of a complex world.&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size: medium;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;In an age of constant change, the fields of science, technology, engineering and mathematics are touted as the engines that will drive our nation’s economy forward. Without a foundation in the humanities, this pursuit of innovation lacks depth and does little to foster meaningful progress. Proponents of STEM seek to change the conversation to STEAM – which integrates the liberal arts into the pursuit of innovation.&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size: medium;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Indeed, the liberal arts education empowers students with the awareness and empathy to understand how technology is a tool for meeting human needs and solving complex problems in society. In the effort to bridge the gap between science, technology and the humanities, liberal arts universities like Furman play a critical role in the national conversation around innovation and progress, by equipping students with the tools and skillsets needed to create solutions that are meaningful and engaging.&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

== '''Collaborate with Furman's Head Organization - Student Government Association (SGA)''' ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== '''About SGA''' ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size: medium;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;To Furman's Student Government Association (SGA), &amp;quot;students serving students&amp;quot;&amp;amp;nbsp;is its top mission. The organization seeks to find policy solutions to student concerns and work proactively to implement those policies. Because of the large number of student organizations at Furman, our SGA has been tailored to fit the needs of the student body while providing plenty of opportunities for campus organizations to serve students independently.&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size: medium;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Furman's SGA provides a wide range of functions, including:&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size: medium;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Funding nearly 100 student organizations&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size: medium;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Acting as a liaison between members of the student body and Furman's administration through involvement of Council representatives on various committees, including the Academic Advising Committee, the Parking Committee, Dining Services, and the Study Away committee (to name a few!).&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size: medium;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Providing students with a forum to create and implement innovative ideas through programs like&amp;amp;nbsp;'''FUEL Furman'''&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size: medium;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Assessing student opinion through survey data and public forums like&amp;amp;nbsp;'''Reply Rides'''&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size: medium;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Forming committees to target important policy issues and implement change&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== '''Current Partnership of SGA – UI Fellows at Furman''' ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size: medium;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;'''SGA’s Role in the Partnership'''&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size: medium;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;SGA serves as an umbrella organization for student policies, activities, and funds. It supervises and works closely with most of student organizations at Furman. Given its vital stand, the Government Association has the capacity to assess and evaluate the resources owned by students as well as their overall organizational skill level. They also serve as the main logistics sector for most organizations.&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size: medium;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;We Fellows regard SGA as one of the best means to centrally approach students in order to endorse Design Thinking and Lean Startup approaches from the grassroot level. SGA can also be a resourceful partner to examine comprehensively the student environment at Furman, and explore students’ level of interest and skill in Innovation &amp;amp; Entrepreneurship. The partnership with SGA is likely to promise robust changes in the existing ecosystem.&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size: medium;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;SGA can also connect us Fellows with school officials and university policy makers who can authorize us to propose and implement the I&amp;amp;E integration on campus activities.&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size: medium;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;'''UI Fellows’ Role in the Partnership'''&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size: medium;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Given our I&amp;amp;E network consisting of national organizations and students throughout campuses, we Fellows can get access to facilities, consultancy and other assistance from different student organizations, and from resources from other campuses in the country. The network is helpful to optimize any plan that SGA and UI Fellows at Furman come up with during our collaboration with best resources available.&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size: medium;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Our current projects can assist SGA in changing the culture of student collaboration. First, the Makery Project is going to be served as a physical hub for Design Thinking and Lean Startup workshops. These workshops aim to develop entrepreneurial thinking for students to actively seek viable means to implement their ideas. SGA will be an info channel for fellows to seek stakeholders for the space and students to come and utilize it. Students will benefit through the space by obtaining the best implementation methods and consultation provided by local companies to apply for their organizations and for themselves (in both organizational and individual levels). The space will disseminate the application of Design Thinking and Lean Startup starting from students and campus organizations.&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size: medium;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Second, by centralizing existing resources and making their best use, SGA will be able to cut currently redundant funds for separate organizations and save them for later use.&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size: medium;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Third, by co-organizing events and activities based on collaborative efforts, SGA and Fellows contribute to foster school spirit and mutual support among students and organizations, creating a collaborative culture within Furman and a new emphasis on products that cost shorter time and yield more meaningful effort.&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size: medium;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;'''N.E.X.T Step'''&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size: medium;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Our next collaboration will be a comprehensive survey on the organizational ecosystem at the student level. The survey will then be examined by both sides as we proceed to further steps: working with school officials, integrating campus resources, proposing practical policies to achieve a collaborative culture from the grassroot level based on case studies from other campuses.&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

This space will serve as a laboratory for student creativity and innovation and a &amp;quot;small bet&amp;quot; to demonstrate the value of I &amp;amp; E to university and community leaders. This space, deemed The Makery, will also be a bridge between campus and community, allowing students to interact with creators and innovators from Sans Souci and the Greater Greenville area.

The space will host a variety of student and community events in order to increase exposure and create interest. These events might include art galleries, pop up retail, performances, or workshops.

At this point in the project, the goal will be to move toward, if not achieve, economic self-sufficiency through event rental fees, entrance fees, and other possible revenue streams. Also in this phase, the transference of day to day operations of &amp;amp;nbsp;Screen Tech will need to be explored.&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Possibilities include a community-owned and operated venture, a Furman-owned and operated venture, or even a student-owned and operated model. The current empty spaces will be converted into some combination of event space, maker/innovation space, and cafe/bakery amongst other ideas. The Screen Tech operation will be completely student-run and possibly separately owned. It will provide students from across disciplines the opportunity to practice the art of screen printing and gain experience in operating a real business venture.&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;'''Overview&amp;amp;nbsp;'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size: medium;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Located in the foothills of Greenville, South Carolina - Furman University is one of the nation's premier undergraduate liberal arts colleges. At 2600 students, Furman is known for outstanding faculty and student relationships, its approach towards engaged learning, its robust visual and performing arts program and its competitive NCAA Division I athletics. Furman prides itself on its unique academic program, which teaches students how to think critically, how to evaluate and create, and how to see multiple perspectives through the lens of empathy. Built upon these principles, students graduate broadly-educated, well-rounded, prepared for leadership and eager to take on the challenges of a complex world.&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size: medium;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;In an age of constant change, the fields of science, technology, engineering and mathematics are touted as the engines that will drive our nation’s economy forward. Without a foundation in the humanities, this pursuit of innovation lacks depth and does little to foster meaningful progress. Proponents of STEM seek to change the conversation to STEAM – which integrates the liberal arts into the pursuit of innovation.&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size: medium;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Indeed, the liberal arts education empowers students with the awareness and empathy to understand how technology is a tool for meeting human needs and solving complex problems in society. In the effort to bridge the gap between science, technology and the humanities, liberal arts universities like Furman play a critical role in the national conversation around innovation and progress, by equipping students with the tools and skillsets needed to create solutions that are meaningful and engaging.&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Deadline Spring 2016.&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/font&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

That class will satisfy a general educational requirement (e.g. World Cultures). Deadline Fall 2017&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
== '''By making changes to curriculum in order to encourage the application of theories learned in the classroom to community based projects, students will gain connections and skills that will benefit them in the work place and/or when applying to graduate school.

&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
= '''Priority 3: Serving as a Connecting Agent to Embrace Students' Ventures from Different Approaches&amp;amp;nbsp;''' =&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== '''Collaborate with Furman's Head Organization - Student Government Association (SGA)''' ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== '''About SGA''' ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size: medium;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;To Furman's Student Government Association (SGA), &amp;quot;students serving students&amp;quot;&amp;amp;nbsp;is its top mission. The organization seeks to find policy solutions to student concerns and work proactively to implement those policies. Because of the large number of student organizations at Furman, our SGA has been tailored to fit the needs of the student body while providing plenty of opportunities for campus organizations to serve students independently.&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size: medium;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Furman's SGA provides a wide range of functions, including:&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size: medium;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Funding nearly 100 student organizations&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size: medium;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Acting as a liaison between members of the student body and Furman's administration through involvement of Council representatives on various committees, including the Academic Advising Committee, the Parking Committee, Dining Services, and the Study Away committee (to name a few!).&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size: medium;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Providing students with a forum to create and implement innovative ideas through programs like&amp;amp;nbsp;'''FUEL Furman'''&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size: medium;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Assessing student opinion through survey data and public forums like&amp;amp;nbsp;'''Reply Rides'''&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size: medium;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Forming committees to target important policy issues and implement change&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== '''Current Partnership of SGA – UI Fellows at Furman''' ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size: medium;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;'''SGA’s Role in the Partnership'''&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size: medium;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;SGA serves as an umbrella organization for student policies, activities, and funds. It supervises and works closely with most of student organizations at Furman. Given its vital stand, the Government Association has the capacity to assess and evaluate the resources owned by students as well as their overall organizational skill level. They also serve as the main logistics sector for most organizations.&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size: medium;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;We Fellows regard SGA as one of the best means to centrally approach students in order to endorse Design Thinking and Lean Startup approaches from the grassroot level. SGA can also be a resourceful partner to examine comprehensively the student environment at Furman, and explore students’ level of interest and skill in Innovation &amp;amp; Entrepreneurship. The partnership with SGA is likely to promise robust changes in the existing ecosystem.&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size: medium;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;SGA can also connect us Fellows with school officials and university policy makers who can authorize us to propose and implement the I&amp;amp;E integration on campus activities.&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size: medium;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;'''UI Fellows’ Role in the Partnership'''&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size: medium;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Given our I&amp;amp;E network consisting of national organizations and students throughout campuses, we Fellows can get access to facilities, consultancy and other assistance from different student organizations, and from resources from other campuses in the country. The network is helpful to optimize any plan that SGA and UI Fellows at Furman come up with during our collaboration with best resources available.&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size: medium;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Our current projects can assist SGA in changing the culture of student collaboration. First, the Makery Project is going to be served as a physical hub for Design Thinking and Lean Startup workshops. These workshops aim to develop entrepreneurial thinking for students to actively seek viable means to implement their ideas. SGA will be an info channel for fellows to seek stakeholders for the space and students to come and utilize it. Students will benefit through the space by obtaining the best implementation methods and consultation provided by local companies to apply for their organizations and for themselves (in both organizational and individual levels). The space will disseminate the application of Design Thinking and Lean Startup starting from students and campus organizations.&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size: medium;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Second, by centralizing existing resources and making their best use, SGA will be able to cut currently redundant funds for separate organizations and save them for later use.&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size: medium;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Third, by co-organizing events and activities based on collaborative efforts, SGA and Fellows contribute to foster school spirit and mutual support among students and organizations, creating a collaborative culture within Furman and a new emphasis on products that cost shorter time and yield more meaningful effort.&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size: medium;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;'''N.E.X.T Step'''&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size: medium;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Our next collaboration will be a comprehensive survey on the organizational ecosystem at the student level. The survey will then be examined by both sides as we proceed to further steps: working with school officials, integrating campus resources, proposing practical policies to achieve a collaborative culture from the grassroot level based on case studies from other campuses.&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

This space will serve as a laboratory for student creativity and innovation and a &amp;quot;small bet&amp;quot; to demonstrate the value of I &amp;amp; E to university and community leaders. This space, deemed The Makery, will also be a bridge between campus and community, allowing students to interact with creators and innovators from Sans Souci and the Greater Greenville area. Future plans include turning an adjacent screen printing shop into a cross-disciplinary, student-operated venture to expose students to real-life business and creative principles.&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

The space will host a variety of student and community events in order to increase exposure and create interest. These events might include art galleries, pop up retail, performances, or workshops. Students will also work with Marshall Jacskon, the owner of the building and the adjacent Screen Tech printing shop to learn the craft and business of screen printing.&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

At this point in the project, the goal will be to move toward, if not achieve, economic self-sufficiency through event rental fees, entrance fees, and other possible revenue streams. Also in this phase, the transference of day to day operations of &amp;amp;nbsp;Screen Tech will need to be explored.&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Possibilities include a community-owned and operated venture, a Furman-owned and operated venture, or even a student-owned and operated model. The current empty spaces will be converted into some combination of event space, maker/innovation space, and cafe/bakery amongst other ideas. The Screen Tech operation will be completely student-run and possibly separately owned.

&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;'''Overview&amp;amp;nbsp;'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size: medium;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Located in the foothills of Greenville, South Carolina - Furman University is one of the nation's premier undergraduate liberal arts colleges. At 2600 students, Furman is known for outstanding faculty and student relationships, its approach towards engaged learning, its robust visual and performing arts program and its competitive NCAA Division I athletics. Furman prides itself on its unique academic program, which teaches students how to think critically, how to evaluate and create, and how to see multiple perspectives through the lens of empathy. Built upon these principles, students graduate broadly-educated, well-rounded, prepared for leadership and eager to take on the challenges of a complex world.&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size: medium;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;In an age of constant change, the fields of science, technology, engineering and mathematics are touted as the engines that will drive our nation’s economy forward. Without a foundation in the humanities, this pursuit of innovation lacks depth and does little to foster meaningful progress. Proponents of STEM seek to change the conversation to STEAM – which integrates the liberal arts into the pursuit of innovation.&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size: medium;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Indeed, the liberal arts education empowers students with the awareness and empathy to understand how technology is a tool for meeting human needs and solving complex problems in society. In the effort to bridge the gap between science, technology and the humanities, liberal arts universities like Furman play a critical role in the national conversation around innovation and progress, by equipping students with the tools and skillsets needed to create solutions that are meaningful and engaging.&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
=== '''About SGA''' ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size: medium;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;To Furman's Student Government Association (SGA), &amp;quot;students serving students&amp;quot;&amp;amp;nbsp;is its top mission. The organization seeks to find policy solutions to student concerns and work proactively to implement those policies. Because of the large number of student organizations at Furman, our SGA has been tailored to fit the needs of the student body while providing plenty of opportunities for campus organizations to serve students independently.&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size: medium;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Furman's SGA provides a wide range of functions, including:&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size: medium;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Funding nearly 100 student organizations&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size: medium;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Acting as a liaison between members of the student body and Furman's administration through involvement of Council representatives on various committees, including the Academic Advising Committee, the Parking Committee, Dining Services, and the Study Away committee (to name a few!).&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size: medium;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Providing students with a forum to create and implement innovative ideas through programs like&amp;amp;nbsp;'''FUEL Furman'''&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size: medium;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Assessing student opinion through survey data and public forums like&amp;amp;nbsp;'''Reply Rides'''&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size: medium;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Forming committees to target important policy issues and implement change&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size: medium;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;'''SGA’s Role in the Partnership'''&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size: medium;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;SGA serves as an umbrella organization for student policies, activities, and funds. It supervises and works closely with most of student organizations at Furman. Given its vital stand, the Government Association has the capacity to assess and evaluate the resources owned by students as well as their overall organizational skill level. They also serve as the main logistics sector for most organizations.&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size: medium;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;We Fellows regard SGA as one of the best means to centrally approach students in order to endorse Design Thinking and Lean Startup approaches from the grassroot level. SGA can also be a resourceful partner to examine comprehensively the student environment at Furman, and explore students’ level of interest and skill in Innovation &amp;amp; Entrepreneurship. The partnership with SGA is likely to promise robust changes in the existing ecosystem.&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size: medium;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;SGA can also connect us Fellows with school officials and university policy makers who can authorize us to propose and implement the I&amp;amp;E integration on campus activities.&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size: medium;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Given our I&amp;amp;E network consisting of national organizations and students throughout campuses, we Fellows can get access to facilities, consultancy and other assistance from different student organizations, and from resources from other campuses in the country. The network is helpful to optimize any plan that SGA and UI Fellows at Furman come up with during our collaboration with best resources available.&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size: medium;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Our current projects can assist SGA in changing the culture of student collaboration. First, the Makery Project is going to be served as a physical hub for Design Thinking and Lean Startup workshops. These workshops aim to develop entrepreneurial thinking for students to actively seek viable means to implement their ideas. SGA will be an info channel for fellows to seek stakeholders for the space and students to come and utilize it. Students will benefit through the space by obtaining the best implementation methods and consultation provided by local companies to apply for their organizations and for themselves (in both organizational and individual levels). The space will disseminate the application of Design Thinking and Lean Startup starting from students and campus organizations.&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size: medium;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Second, by centralizing existing resources and making their best use, SGA will be able to cut currently redundant funds for separate organizations and save them for later use.&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size: medium;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Third, by co-organizing events and activities based on collaborative efforts, SGA and Fellows contribute to foster school spirit and mutual support among students and organizations, creating a collaborative culture within Furman and a new emphasis on products that cost shorter time and yield more meaningful effort.&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size: medium;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;'''N.E.X.T Step'''&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size: medium;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Our next collaboration will be a comprehensive survey on the organizational ecosystem at the student level. The survey will then be examined by both sides as we proceed to further steps: working with school officials, integrating campus resources, proposing practical policies to achieve a collaborative culture from the grassroot level based on case studies from other campuses.&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

This space will serve as a laboratory for student creativity and innovation and a &amp;quot;small bet&amp;quot; to demonstrate the value of I &amp;amp; E to university and community leaders. This space, deemed The Makery, will also be a bridge between campus and community, allowing students to interact with creators and innovators from Sans Souci and the Greater Greenville area. Future plans include turning an adjacent screen printing shop into a cross-disciplinary, student-operated venture to expose students to real-life business and creative principles.&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

The space will host a variety of student and community events in order to increase exposure and create interest. These events might include art galleries, pop up retail, performances, or workshops. Students will also work with Marshall Jacskon, the owner of the building and the adjacent Screen Tech printing shop to learn the craft and business of screen printing.&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

At this point in the project, the goal will be to move toward, if not achieve, economic self-sufficiency through event rental fees, entrance fees, and other possible revenue streams. Also in this phase, the transference of day to day operations of &amp;amp;nbsp;Screen Tech will need to be explored.&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Possibilities include a community-owned and operated venture, a Furman-owned and operated venture, or even a student-owned and operated model. The current empty spaces will be converted into some combination of event space, maker/innovation space, and cafe/bakery amongst other ideas. The Screen Tech operation will be completely student-run and possibly separately owned. It will provide students from across disciplines the opportunity to practice the art of screen printing and gain experience in operating a real business venture.&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;'''Overview&amp;amp;nbsp;'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size: medium;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Located in the foothills of Greenville, South Carolina - Furman University is one of the nation's premier undergraduate liberal arts colleges. At 2600 students, Furman is known for outstanding faculty and student relationships, its approach towards engaged learning, its robust visual and performing arts program and its competitive NCAA Division I athletics. Furman prides itself on its unique academic program, which teaches students how to think critically, how to evaluate and create, and how to see multiple perspectives through the lens of empathy. Built upon these principles, students graduate broadly-educated, well-rounded, prepared for leadership and eager to take on the challenges of a complex world.&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size: medium;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;In an age of constant change, the fields of science, technology, engineering and mathematics are touted as the engines that will drive our nation’s economy forward. Without a foundation in the humanities, this pursuit of innovation lacks depth and does little to foster meaningful progress. Proponents of STEM seek to change the conversation to STEAM – which integrates the liberal arts into the pursuit of innovation.&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size: medium;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Indeed, the liberal arts education empowers students with the awareness and empathy to understand how technology is a tool for meeting human needs and solving complex problems in society. In the effort to bridge the gap between science, technology and the humanities, liberal arts universities like Furman play a critical role in the national conversation around innovation and progress, by equipping students with the tools and skillsets needed to create solutions that are meaningful and engaging.&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

== '''Collaborate with Furman's Head Organization - Student Government Association (SGA)''' ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== '''About SGA''' ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size: medium;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;To Furman's Student Government Association (SGA), &amp;quot;students serving students&amp;quot;&amp;amp;nbsp;is its top mission. The organization seeks to find policy solutions to student concerns and work proactively to implement those policies. Because of the large number of student organizations at Furman, our SGA has been tailored to fit the needs of the student body while providing plenty of opportunities for campus organizations to serve students independently.&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size: medium;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Furman's SGA provides a wide range of functions, including:&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size: medium;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Funding nearly 100 student organizations&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size: medium;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Acting as a liaison between members of the student body and Furman's administration through involvement of Council representatives on various committees, including the Academic Advising Committee, the Parking Committee, Dining Services, and the Study Away committee (to name a few!).&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size: medium;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Providing students with a forum to create and implement innovative ideas through programs like&amp;amp;nbsp;'''FUEL Furman'''&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size: medium;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Assessing student opinion through survey data and public forums like&amp;amp;nbsp;'''Reply Rides'''&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size: medium;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Forming committees to target important policy issues and implement change&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== '''Current Partnership of SGA – UI Fellows at Furman''' ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size: medium;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;'''SGA’s Role in the Partnership'''&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size: medium;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;SGA serves as an umbrella organization for student policies, activities, and funds. It supervises and works closely with most of student organizations at Furman. Given its vital stand, the Government Association has the capacity to assess and evaluate the resources owned by students as well as their overall organizational skill level. They also serve as the main logistics sector for most organizations.&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size: medium;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;We Fellows regard SGA as one of the best means to centrally approach students in order to endorse Design Thinking and Lean Startup approaches from the grassroot level. SGA can also be a resourceful partner to examine comprehensively the student environment at Furman, and explore students’ level of interest and skill in Innovation &amp;amp; Entrepreneurship. The partnership with SGA is likely to promise robust changes in the existing ecosystem.&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size: medium;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;SGA can also connect us Fellows with school officials and university policy makers who can authorize us to propose and implement the I&amp;amp;E integration on campus activities.&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size: medium;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;'''UI Fellows’ Role in the Partnership'''&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size: medium;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Given our I&amp;amp;E network consisting of national organizations and students throughout campuses, we Fellows can get access to facilities, consultancy and other assistance from different student organizations, and from resources from other campuses in the country. The network is helpful to optimize any plan that SGA and UI Fellows at Furman come up with during our collaboration with best resources available.&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size: medium;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Our current projects can assist SGA in changing the culture of student collaboration. First, the Makery Project is going to be served as a physical hub for Design Thinking and Lean Startup workshops. These workshops aim to develop entrepreneurial thinking for students to actively seek viable means to implement their ideas. SGA will be an info channel for fellows to seek stakeholders for the space and students to come and utilize it. Students will benefit through the space by obtaining the best implementation methods and consultation provided by local companies to apply for their organizations and for themselves (in both organizational and individual levels). The space will disseminate the application of Design Thinking and Lean Startup starting from students and campus organizations.&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size: medium;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Second, by centralizing existing resources and making their best use, SGA will be able to cut currently redundant funds for separate organizations and save them for later use.&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size: medium;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Third, by co-organizing events and activities based on collaborative efforts, SGA and Fellows contribute to foster school spirit and mutual support among students and organizations, creating a collaborative culture within Furman and a new emphasis on products that cost shorter time and yield more meaningful effort.&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size: medium;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;'''N.E.X.T Step'''&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size: medium;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Our next collaboration will be a comprehensive survey on the organizational ecosystem at the student level. The survey will then be examined by both sides as we proceed to further steps: working with school officials, integrating campus resources, proposing practical policies to achieve a collaborative culture from the grassroot level based on case studies from other campuses.&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

This space will serve as a laboratory for student creativity and innovation and a &amp;quot;small bet&amp;quot; to demonstrate the value of I &amp;amp; E to university and community leaders. This space, deemed The Makery, will also be a bridge between campus and community, allowing students to interact with creators and innovators from Sans Souci and the Greater Greenville area.

The space will host a variety of student and community events in order to increase exposure and create interest. These events might include art galleries, pop up retail, performances, or workshops.

At this point in the project, the goal will be to move toward, if not achieve, economic self-sufficiency through event rental fees, entrance fees, and other possible revenue streams. Also in this phase, the transference of day to day operations of &amp;amp;nbsp;Screen Tech will need to be explored.&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Possibilities include a community-owned and operated venture, a Furman-owned and operated venture, or even a student-owned and operated model. The current empty spaces will be converted into some combination of event space, maker/innovation space, and cafe/bakery amongst other ideas. The Screen Tech operation will be completely student-run and possibly separately owned. It will provide students from across disciplines the opportunity to practice the art of screen printing and gain experience in operating a real business venture.&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;'''Overview&amp;amp;nbsp;'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size: medium;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Located in the foothills of Greenville, South Carolina - Furman University is one of the nation's premier undergraduate liberal arts colleges. At 2600 students, Furman is known for outstanding faculty and student relationships, its approach towards engaged learning, its robust visual and performing arts program and its competitive NCAA Division I athletics. Furman prides itself on its unique academic program, which teaches students how to think critically, how to evaluate and create, and how to see multiple perspectives through the lens of empathy. Built upon these principles, students graduate broadly-educated, well-rounded, prepared for leadership and eager to take on the challenges of a complex world.&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size: medium;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;In an age of constant change, the fields of science, technology, engineering and mathematics are touted as the engines that will drive our nation’s economy forward. Without a foundation in the humanities, this pursuit of innovation lacks depth and does little to foster meaningful progress. Proponents of STEM seek to change the conversation to STEAM – which integrates the liberal arts into the pursuit of innovation.&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size: medium;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Indeed, the liberal arts education empowers students with the awareness and empathy to understand how technology is a tool for meeting human needs and solving complex problems in society. In the effort to bridge the gap between science, technology and the humanities, liberal arts universities like Furman play a critical role in the national conversation around innovation and progress, by equipping students with the tools and skillsets needed to create solutions that are meaningful and engaging.&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Deadline Spring 2016.&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/font&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
== '''By making changes to curriculum in order to encourage the application of theories learned in the classroom to community based projects, students will gain connections and skills that will benefit them in the work place and/or when applying to graduate school.

&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
= '''Priority 3: Serving as a Connecting Agent to Embrace Students' Ventures from Different Approaches&amp;amp;nbsp;''' =&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== '''Collaborate with Furman's Head Organization - Student Government Association (SGA)''' ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== '''About SGA''' ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size: medium;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;To Furman's Student Government Association (SGA), &amp;quot;students serving students&amp;quot;&amp;amp;nbsp;is its top mission. The organization seeks to find policy solutions to student concerns and work proactively to implement those policies. Because of the large number of student organizations at Furman, our SGA has been tailored to fit the needs of the student body while providing plenty of opportunities for campus organizations to serve students independently.&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size: medium;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Furman's SGA provides a wide range of functions, including:&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size: medium;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Funding nearly 100 student organizations&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size: medium;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Acting as a liaison between members of the student body and Furman's administration through involvement of Council representatives on various committees, including the Academic Advising Committee, the Parking Committee, Dining Services, and the Study Away committee (to name a few!).&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size: medium;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Providing students with a forum to create and implement innovative ideas through programs like&amp;amp;nbsp;'''FUEL Furman'''&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size: medium;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Assessing student opinion through survey data and public forums like&amp;amp;nbsp;'''Reply Rides'''&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size: medium;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Forming committees to target important policy issues and implement change&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== '''Current Partnership of SGA – UI Fellows at Furman''' ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size: medium;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;'''SGA’s Role in the Partnership'''&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size: medium;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;SGA serves as an umbrella organization for student policies, activities, and funds. It supervises and works closely with most of student organizations at Furman. Given its vital stand, the Government Association has the capacity to assess and evaluate the resources owned by students as well as their overall organizational skill level. They also serve as the main logistics sector for most organizations.&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size: medium;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;We Fellows regard SGA as one of the best means to centrally approach students in order to endorse Design Thinking and Lean Startup approaches from the grassroot level. SGA can also be a resourceful partner to examine comprehensively the student environment at Furman, and explore students’ level of interest and skill in Innovation &amp;amp; Entrepreneurship. The partnership with SGA is likely to promise robust changes in the existing ecosystem.&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size: medium;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;SGA can also connect us Fellows with school officials and university policy makers who can authorize us to propose and implement the I&amp;amp;E integration on campus activities.&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size: medium;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;'''UI Fellows’ Role in the Partnership'''&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size: medium;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Given our I&amp;amp;E network consisting of national organizations and students throughout campuses, we Fellows can get access to facilities, consultancy and other assistance from different student organizations, and from resources from other campuses in the country. The network is helpful to optimize any plan that SGA and UI Fellows at Furman come up with during our collaboration with best resources available.&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size: medium;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Our current projects can assist SGA in changing the culture of student collaboration. First, the Makery Project is going to be served as a physical hub for Design Thinking and Lean Startup workshops. These workshops aim to develop entrepreneurial thinking for students to actively seek viable means to implement their ideas. SGA will be an info channel for fellows to seek stakeholders for the space and students to come and utilize it. Students will benefit through the space by obtaining the best implementation methods and consultation provided by local companies to apply for their organizations and for themselves (in both organizational and individual levels). The space will disseminate the application of Design Thinking and Lean Startup starting from students and campus organizations.&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size: medium;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Second, by centralizing existing resources and making their best use, SGA will be able to cut currently redundant funds for separate organizations and save them for later use.&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size: medium;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Third, by co-organizing events and activities based on collaborative efforts, SGA and Fellows contribute to foster school spirit and mutual support among students and organizations, creating a collaborative culture within Furman and a new emphasis on products that cost shorter time and yield more meaningful effort.&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size: medium;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;'''N.E.X.T Step'''&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size: medium;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Our next collaboration will be a comprehensive survey on the organizational ecosystem at the student level. The survey will then be examined by both sides as we proceed to further steps: working with school officials, integrating campus resources, proposing practical policies to achieve a collaborative culture from the grassroot level based on case studies from other campuses.&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

This space will serve as a laboratory for student creativity and innovation and a &amp;quot;small bet&amp;quot; to demonstrate the value of I &amp;amp; E to university and community leaders. This space, deemed The Makery, will also be a bridge between campus and community, allowing students to interact with creators and innovators from Sans Souci and the Greater Greenville area. Future plans include turning an adjacent screen printing shop into a cross-disciplinary, student-operated venture to expose students to real-life business and creative principles.&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

The space will host a variety of student and community events in order to increase exposure and create interest. These events might include art galleries, pop up retail, performances, or workshops. Students will also work with Marshall Jacskon, the owner of the building and the adjacent Screen Tech printing shop to learn the craft and business of screen printing.&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

At this point in the project, the goal will be to move toward, if not achieve, economic self-sufficiency through event rental fees, entrance fees, and other possible revenue streams. Also in this phase, the transference of day to day operations of &amp;amp;nbsp;Screen Tech will need to be explored.&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

The current empty spaces will be converted into some combination of event space, maker/innovation space, and cafe/bakery amongst other ideas. The Screen Tech operation will be completely student-run and possibly separately owned. It will provide students from across disciplines the opportunity to practice the art of screen printing and gain experience in operating a real business venture.&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;'''Overview&amp;amp;nbsp;'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size: medium;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Located in the foothills of Greenville, South Carolina - Furman University is one of the nation's premier undergraduate liberal arts colleges. At 2600 students, Furman is known for outstanding faculty and student relationships, its approach towards engaged learning, its robust visual and performing arts program and its competitive NCAA Division I athletics. Furman prides itself on its unique academic program, which teaches students how to think critically, how to evaluate and create, and how to see multiple perspectives through the lens of empathy. Built upon these principles, students graduate broadly-educated, well-rounded, prepared for leadership and eager to take on the challenges of a complex world.&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size: medium;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;In an age of constant change, the fields of science, technology, engineering and mathematics are touted as the engines that will drive our nation’s economy forward. Without a foundation in the humanities, this pursuit of innovation lacks depth and does little to foster meaningful progress. Proponents of STEM seek to change the conversation to STEAM – which integrates the liberal arts into the pursuit of innovation.&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size: medium;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Indeed, the liberal arts education empowers students with the awareness and empathy to understand how technology is a tool for meeting human needs and solving complex problems in society. In the effort to bridge the gap between science, technology and the humanities, liberal arts universities like Furman play a critical role in the national conversation around innovation and progress, by equipping students with the tools and skillsets needed to create solutions that are meaningful and engaging.&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size: medium;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;To Furman's Student Government Association (SGA), &amp;quot;students serving students&amp;quot;&amp;amp;nbsp;is its top mission. The organization seeks to find policy solutions to student concerns and work proactively to implement those policies. Because of the large number of student organizations at Furman, our SGA has been tailored to fit the needs of the student body while providing plenty of opportunities for campus organizations to serve students independently.&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size: medium;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Furman's SGA provides a wide range of functions, including:&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size: medium;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Funding nearly 100 student organizations&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size: medium;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Acting as a liaison between members of the student body and Furman's administration through involvement of Council representatives on various committees, including the Academic Advising Committee, the Parking Committee, Dining Services, and the Study Away committee (to name a few!).&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size: medium;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;'''SGA’s Role in the Partnership'''&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size: medium;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;SGA serves as an umbrella organization for student policies, activities, and funds. It supervises and works closely with most of student organizations at Furman. Given its vital stand, the Government Association has the capacity to assess and evaluate the resources owned by students as well as their overall organizational skill level. They also serve as the main logistics sector for most organizations.&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size: medium;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;We Fellows regard SGA as one of the best means to centrally approach students in order to endorse Design Thinking and Lean Startup approaches from the grassroot level. SGA can also be a resourceful partner to examine comprehensively the student environment at Furman, and explore students’ level of interest and skill in Innovation &amp;amp; Entrepreneurship. The partnership with SGA is likely to promise robust changes in the existing ecosystem.&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size: medium;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;SGA can also connect us Fellows with school officials and university policy makers who can authorize us to propose and implement the I&amp;amp;E integration on campus activities.&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size: medium;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;'''UI Fellows’ Role in the Partnership'''&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size: medium;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Given our I&amp;amp;E network consisting of national organizations and students throughout campuses, we Fellows can get access to facilities, consultancy and other assistance from different student organizations, and from resources from other campuses in the country. The network is helpful to optimize any plan that SGA and UI Fellows at Furman come up with during our collaboration with best resources available.&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size: medium;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Our current projects can assist SGA in changing the culture of student collaboration. First, the Makery Project is going to be served as a physical hub for Design Thinking and Lean Startup workshops. These workshops aim to develop entrepreneurial thinking for students to actively seek viable means to implement their ideas. SGA will be an info channel for fellows to seek stakeholders for the space and students to come and utilize it. Students will benefit through the space by obtaining the best implementation methods and consultation provided by local companies to apply for their organizations and for themselves (in both organizational and individual levels). The space will disseminate the application of Design Thinking and Lean Startup starting from students and campus organizations.&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size: medium;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Second, by centralizing existing resources and making their best use, SGA will be able to cut currently redundant funds for separate organizations and save them for later use.&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size: medium;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Third, by co-organizing events and activities based on collaborative efforts, SGA and Fellows contribute to foster school spirit and mutual support among students and organizations, creating a collaborative culture within Furman and a new emphasis on products that cost shorter time and yield more meaningful effort.&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size: medium;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;'''N.E.X.T Step'''&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-size: medium;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Our next collaboration will be a comprehensive survey on the organizational ecosystem at the student level. The survey will then be examined by both sides as we proceed to further steps: working with school officials, integrating campus resources, proposing practical policies to achieve a collaborative culture from the grassroot level based on case studies from other campuses.&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

This space will serve as a laboratory for student creativity and innovation and a &amp;quot;small bet&amp;quot; to demonstrate the value of I &amp;amp; E to university and community leaders. This space, deemed The Makery, will also be a bridge between campus and community, allowing students to interact with creators and innovators from Sans Souci and the Greater Greenville area. Future plans include turning an adjacent screen printing shop into a cross-disciplinary, student-operated venture to expose students to real-life business and creative principles.&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

The space will host a variety of student and community events in order to increase exposure and create interest. These events might include art galleries, pop up retail, performances, or workshops. Students will also work with Marshall Jacskon, the owner of the building and the adjacent Screen Tech printing shop to learn the craft and business of screen printing.&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

At this point in the project, the goal will be to move toward, if not achieve, economic self-sufficiency through event rental fees, entrance fees, and other possible revenue streams. Also in this phase, the transference of day to day operations of &amp;amp;nbsp;Screen Tech will need to be explored.&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Possibilities include a community-owned and operated venture, a Furman-owned and operated venture, or even a student-owned and operated model. The current empty spaces will be converted into some combination of event space, maker/innovation space, and cafe/bakery amongst other ideas. The Screen Tech operation will be completely student-run and possibly separately owned. It will provide students from across disciplines the opportunity to practice the art of screen printing and gain experience in operating a real business venture.&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
