<p>NaveenKumaran: </p> <hr /> <div>[[File:NaveenKumaran.jpg|thumb]]Naveen Kumaran is a Biomedical Engineering&nbsp;student at the University of Miami. His focus is on biomaterials and is currently working on a research project about cost efficient cell extruding 3D printers. Kumaran is originally from San Ramon, CA, where he lived until May of 2014 when he moved to Miami, FL to begin university. Here, he was exposed to the University Innovation Fellowship thanks to his research mentor and his friend/ University Innovation Fellow [http://universityinnovation.org/wiki/Fred_Etingen Fred Etingen]. At UM, Naveen is very active with the Society of Asian Scientists and Engineers and aspires to be elected President his senior year. In addition, he also plays badminton for the college team and has represented his school in various tournaments like Chicago Open and Miami Open. In his spare time, he likes to travel, go hiking with friends, and listen to music. Growing up, Naveen was interested in anything that involved strategy or competition. &nbsp;At a young age, his father taught him how to play chess - a hobby he quickly learned to love. Naveen would later go on to place in major tournaments including the NorCal Regionals and the California Scholastic State Chess Championship. Naveen is also very passionate about healthcare. In his opinion, physical well-being is crucial for a happy, fulfilling life. Because of this, he would like to dedicate his life to revolutionize the ways we combat disease and care for our patients.&nbsp;<br /> <br /> [[Category:Student Contributors|Student_Contributors]]<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> == Related Links: ==<br /> <br /> [http://universityinnovation.org/wiki/Fred_Etingen Fred Etingen]<br /> <br /> [http://universityinnovation.org/wiki/Yujia_Zhou Yujia Zhou]<br /> <br /> [http://universityinnovation.org/wiki/Allen_liu Allen Liu]<br /> <br /> [http://universityinnovation.org/wiki/Nicholas_Meury Nicholas Meury&nbsp;]<br /> <br /> [http://universityinnovation.org/wiki/University_of_Miami University of Miami]</div>

<p>NaveenKumaran: </p> <hr /> <div>Hey Candidates! Welcome. Thank you for collaborating with your fellow interviewees to create a resource that helps student changemakers for years to come. We created a very simple template for you with section headings that your should swap out for your own, picking from [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1B6mlePQGB7ElzwcdtQD09p3Z6IFCi_jy2vQAJmmxt_I/edit the template we provided you here]. Use the text editor or OR click on '''Show wiki text editor''' (highly recommended) to use the very simple text interface. To add photos, you must create an account by clicking 'Log in / create account' under 'Personal Tools' menu to the right. Wait 12-24 hours for access. Don't forget to write down your username and password. If you have any questions, [https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLGmMfSglkVGHZtQobS8oEPsfkpGZY-Njh visit this page] or contact [mailto:team@universityinnovation.org team@universityinnovation.org]. Delete this paragraph after building out your page.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> == Securing Funding and Support ==<br /> <br /> When taking on the challenge of developing community and university based events at your campus one of the first things you will need to do is create a network of people who can support you and some sources of funding to help with the costs you will encounter along the way. There are many avenues to explore here but some that have been quite successful in the past are detailed below.<br /> <br /> '''Faculty Support'''<br /> <br /> Finding a faculty member in a position of relatively high power can be greatly beneficial to the success and longevity of your events. Someone in the Business or Engineering faculty are generally your best bet as they can have access to sums of money dedicated to funding student activities such as your event. Look for a dean or associate dean who has lots of connections and approach them with a planned pitch of your idea, making sure to show your passion to make an impact and achieve your goals.<br /> <br /> If you are successful here and are able to show your dedication to the activities you will be well on your way to creating a powerful relationship that can help support you through future events and activities at your university.<br /> <br /> '''Community Support'''<br /> <br /> It can also be helpful to start reaching out to other individuals such as local entrepreneurs and business representatives that would be willing to mentor you and advise on some of the tough decisions that you will be faced with. Creating a board of advisors will be extremely beneficial for securing company sponsorships, expanding your network and getting feedback on the work you are doing. This may also lead to future funding opportunities.<br /> <br /> Alternative funding sources may also include university alumni, start-up incubator programs, financial institutions and companies related to the goals or theme of your event. Searching for national organisations may also uncover grants available for active student groups and students who are trying hard to make a change.<br /> <br /> The main idea here is to reach out to those in positions of power that can help you achieve your goals through guidance and financial assistance. Once you have gained a solid foundation here, the rest of your work will be far easier to achieve.<br /> <br /> == Building a Leadership Board ==<br /> <br /> Another key step in ensuring the successful development of your event, which may even be more important than securing funding, is creating a board of student leaders to work with you on the project. These students will be the A-Team, the guys and girls that put in the hard yards, working together to make your vision come true.<br /> <br /> Leadership boards should consist of 3-4 core people but will primarily depend on the amount of work needing to be done and the size of the event. When reaching out to students to help you there are some key qualities that will make them perfect for the job:<br /> <br /> ·&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Great communication skills<br /> <br /> ·&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Openness to try new things<br /> <br /> ·&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Self-motivated&nbsp;<br /> <br /> These qualities will not only make your goals far easier to achieve but will ensure you are building a team that will be working towards a common vision and willing to put in the effort to get the job done.<br /> <br /> These people can be hard to find, and it may be tempting to look to senior students as a source of experience and maturity. Caution should be taken with senior students however; as they will be graduating soon and you may be left with half a leadership board and an unfinished event. Try looking for younger students who are showing a keen interest to get involved and are willing to jump on board. They may need a little guidance at first, but by getting them on board and trusting them you are not only providing them with new experience but also ensuring the continuation of such activities after you graduate and move on from your university.<br /> <br /> It is always important to remember that university can be very challenging and at times the workload (as I’m sure you are all aware) can get very heavy. Don’t load your team up with more than they can handle and always make sure that everyone is coping with their assigned tasks. A strong team will always look out for each other and be able to handle their studies along with the fun extracurricular activities such as event organisation. See the following section for more details on managing the workload when developing events on campus.<br /> <br /> == Managing the Workload ==<br /> <br /> Even with plenty of people to help you, managing and running an event can be daunting. As a result, it is important to allocate work evenly and efficiently amongst your group members. When doing so, it is important to understand that <u>''people like direction.''</u>&nbsp;Rather than asking questions about what to do, a good event leader will delegate tasks appropriately. As a leader, you must trust in your teammate's ability to perform in a timely manner. Another great way to manage an event workload is to hold frequent meetings leading up to the event. Now only does this keep everyone in the group up to date with the preperation status, it can also serve as a platform to introduce new ideas or features into the event. These include, but are not exclusive to, guest speakers, stakeholders, and other influential students.&nbsp;<br /> <br /> As you prepare for your event, you may find the work or effort of another individual helping you to be unsatisfactory. Though it is good to have a high standard for your event, you can't expect everyone in your group to have the same vision, expectations, and attention to detail as you. It is important to set realistic standards for your team and to delegate tasks to individuals based on their personal skills and ability to handle their workload. This requires a good amount of personal knowledge of each individual you are working with as communication is key to the success of the event as a whole. Simple activites such as grabbing lunch and chatting with a colleague can do this. Make sure to ask how they are doing and how they are managing their work.&nbsp;<br /> <br /> == Event Structure ==<br /> <br /> Matthew Working on now...<br /> <br /> == Reaching Out to Your Audience ==<br /> <br /> Even with the best possible event with the most valuable content for learning it isn't much help if we can’t get students to attend the events. There are different ways to spread information around campus. 1- Handing out flyers and hanging them in buildings in the campus. 2- Having your team and network spread the word by speaking with students on campus and informing them about the upcoming events. 3- Asking faculty members to send out emails to all the students in a specific department such as the engineering department and encouraging them to attend. The flyers must be engaging and straight to the point. It should contain what the event is about, what are the learning outcomes of attending, date and time, name of guest speaker if there is any and also as a bonus stating that food is provided and there are prizes.<br /> <br /> One of the best methods for getting the interest of attendees is having food at the event as most college students love free food. Also for certain events we can set up competitions with prizes at the end. However the amount of food and the types of prizes are all reflected by the funding from sponsors and the dean.<br /> <br /> == Motivating Attendees and Maintaining Engagement ==<br /> <br /> Sample text<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> == Measuring the Success of Your Event ==<br /> <br /> Sample text<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> == Student Contributors ==<br /> <br /> A huge shout out to all the student contributors who helped make this page.<br /> <br /> *&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;[http://universityinnovation.org/wiki/Corey_Stewart Corey Stewart]<br /> *&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Matthew Childs<br /> *&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;[http://universityinnovation.org/wiki/Naveen_Kumaran Naveen Kumaran]<br /> *&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Samuel Warfield<br /> *&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Levi Lowe<br /> *&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Bardya Banihashemi<br /> *&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Irene Hsieh<br /> <br /> Also a massive thank you to [[Grant Jacoby|Grant Jacoby]] for sharing his UIF experience and offering his support in order to make this page possible. &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;</div>

Delete this paragraph after building out your page.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> == Securing Funding and Support ==<br /> <br /> When taking on the challenge of developing community and university based events at your campus one of the first things you will need to do is create a network of people who can support you and some sources of funding to help with the costs you will encounter along the way. There are many avenues to explore here but some that have been quite successful in the past are detailed below.<br /> <br /> '''Faculty Support'''<br /> <br /> Finding a faculty member in a position of relatively high power can be greatly beneficial to the success and longevity of your events. Someone in the Business or Engineering faculty are generally your best bet as they can have access to sums of money dedicated to funding student activities such as your event. Look for a dean or associate dean who has lots of connections and approach them with a planned pitch of your idea, making sure to show your passion to make an impact and achieve your goals.<br /> <br /> If you are successful here and are able to show your dedication to the activities you will be well on your way to creating a powerful relationship that can help support you through future events and activities at your university.<br /> <br /> '''Community Support'''<br /> <br /> It can also be helpful to start reaching out to other individuals such as local entrepreneurs and business representatives that would be willing to mentor you and advise on some of the tough decisions that you will be faced with. Creating a board of advisors will be extremely beneficial for securing company sponsorships, expanding your network and getting feedback on the work you are doing. This may also lead to future funding opportunities.<br /> <br /> Alternative funding sources may also include university alumni, start-up incubator programs, financial institutions and companies related to the goals or theme of your event.
