= Strategic Priorities =

== Encourage student Awareness and Involvement on Campus ==

<span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">The University Innovation Fellows at Morgan State University are unique because our team is composed of individuals who have different backgrounds and experiences creating an abundance of ideas and perspectives.  The team’s goal is to help bring about a change that the students want to see, and also help raise awareness and understanding of the importance of entrepreneurship and innovation. Morgan State offers many useful resources but they are either limited to certain majors or most students simply do not know they exist. Our goal is to make all labs, workshops and development centers accessible to every student.</span></span>

<span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"> </span></span>

== Create an Innovation, Commercialization, and Entrepreneurship (ICE) Center ==

<span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">This premier urban innovation center will foster creativity, improve entrepreneurial skill sets, and increase interdisciplinary collaborations. It will include a skills lab for learning hard skills. Weekly tech tutorials and workshops will also be given in this space.</span></span>

== Incorporate Diversity Representation ==

<span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">Students participating in a Multicultural week to showcase the treasures of the underrepresented ethnicities on campus. Morgan having a large variety of international students, all cultures should be celebrated and unbiased.</span></span> <span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">A brief general overview of Multicultural week: There will be a variety of events throughout the week where students can represent their countries flags, traditional attire and food. A multicultural mixer for students to music from different countries. Lastly, an day of cultural education, where students have the opportunity to teach other students on campus about their countries.</span></span>

<span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"></span></span><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: medium;">Tactic #1: Utilizing the Student Government Association and various student campus orginizations propose to the Univeristy a Mulitcultural Week.</span>

<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: medium;"></span><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: medium;">Tactic #2: Once we have gained interest, collobarate with different cultural organizations (eg. Carribean Student Association, Latin Student Association etc.) and draft a event of weekly activities that will appeal to the student body and represent a variety of cultures on campus.</span>

<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: medium;">Tactic #3: Make sure we have equal amount of representation and campus paticipation and promote the weekly events on campus. Draft promotional flyers and use social media as an outlet to reach our audience. Each cultural group will aslo be expected to invite their friends and family and enjoy their music, food, and traditional clothing.</span>

<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: medium;"></span><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: medium;">Tactic #4: Broadcast to the Morgan MILE which is the community that surrounds Morgan so that they may be involved in the cultural education. </span>

== Install BearBoards throughout campus. ==

To implement this project, the steps that need to be taken are:

<span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">1.   Present Idea to Stakeholders, and check the interest and support levels</span></span>

<span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">2.   Ask students on campus how they would like BearBoards</span></span>

<span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">3.   Come up with specific design and prototype of BearBoards</span></span>

<span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">4.   Reveal the prototype to Stakeholders and possible Sponsors and Donors</span></span>

<span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">5.   Begin the installation process for the BearBoards</span></span>

<span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">6.   Announce the opening of the BearBoards and promote usage throughout campus.</span></span>

<span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"> </span></span>

== Product Development Center ==

<span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">The University Innovation Fellows plan to bring a Product Development Center to Morgan State University. This center will be a makerspace which allows students to develop prototypes. Morgan is home to many great ideas and wonderful entrepreneurs but students do not have a space to make those dreams come to fruition.</span></span>

<span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"> </span></span>

== Design Thinking Workshops ==

<span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">Design thinking workshops that involve both engineering and business students will be beneficial because students will collaborate ideas when working with such individuals form different fields. Mixing the two majors can have a huge impact on the university and growth of the students as well. Design thinking invokes a new process for developing answers to problems from multidimensional perspectives making it an excellent project.</span></span>

<span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"></span></span><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: medium;">Tactical #1: Research and find students and or professors who are well versed in Innovation and Design Thinking concepts to offer there time to partake in Design Thinking Workshops yearly.</span><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: medium;"> Coordinate with Dr. Foster a UIF Advisor who has done a Design Thinking Course to collaborate on how to approach this program at Morgan.</span>

<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: medium;"></span><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: medium;">Tactical #2: Incorporate a trial Design Thinking Workshop open to a small sample group. This will help to gain feedback, and allow us to understand how to improve the workshops before opening to the general public.</span>

<span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"></span></span><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: medium;">Tactical #3: Implement improvement from feedback and open Design Thinking works shops to Morgan students of all majors and classifications.</span>

<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: medium;">Tactical #4: Get students interested in working towards a Maker Space. </span>

<span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"> </span></span>

== Alumni Student Mixer' ==

<span><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">The disconnect between Alumni and students can be helped by incorporating the Alumni Student Mixer. The Alumni House on campus has a specific budget and council used to incorporate the connection between alumni and students. Unfortunately these resources are never used to bring the two together. An Alumni Student mixer can help bridge the gap of non-communication and open opportunities for job offer, internships for students as well as possible events to incorporate on Morgan's campus that is beneficial to the campus community.</span></span>

== Expose more STEM students to Innovation and Entrepreneurship ==

<span style="font-size:medium"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif">'''Tactic #1-'''The provision of an Introduction to Business course for STEM majors will heavily attract the interest of these students who feel they just have to get the A's  to become well rounded</span>.</span>

<span style="font-size:medium">'''Tactic #2- '''Introducing a Campus Discovery concept called Morgan Konnect where students will be able to view and leverage the [https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0By3dnjIxAwoDalFnNmF3ZzI4QjA&usp=sharing# Morgan State University Landscape Canvas] to Discover,Learn, Experiment, Pursue, and Spin out.</span>

<span style="font-size:medium">'''Tactic #3- '''Building an incubator for students who have personal projects they would like to pursue in line with technological innovation. This environment will aid the students to build a creative mindset which may be the seed of "The Next Big Thing."</span>

== Increase Student-Driven Commercialization ==

<span style="font-size:medium"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif">Morgan has stated that it will "support innovation in business and the commercialization of intellectual property through growing a culture of innovation and entrepreneurship, securing an increased number of patents, and establishing a technology transfer center to support the creation of new business and technology transfer enterprises"</span></span>

'''<span style="font-size:medium">Tactic #1: Local Tech Collaboration with incubators such as [http://etcbaltimore.com/ ETC Baltimore] and accelerators such as [http://www.juxtopia.org/about/founder/ Juxtopia]:</span>'''

== Local partnerships will expose students to industrial and entrepreneurial skills through projects designed by members of the local tech community. ==

<span style="font-size:medium"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif">'''Tactic #2: Redefining the terms of the intellectual property rights outline by Morgan State University:'''</span></span>

<span style="font-size:medium">Students are eager to build new technology and make changes, but as individuals who have work hard though using the resources of the college would like to believe that in the 21st century students can still receive recognition for their work. A proposal is that "any potentially patentable inventions belong to the university, and royalties are split between the inventor, his/her department and Morgan State University (1/3 each). For undergraduates, the IP is theirs, unless their work has been supported by research funds, or they have made use of shops, labs and other Morgan State University property more than incidentally."</span></span>

= Strategic Priorities =

== Encourage student Awareness and Involvement on Campus ==

<span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">The University Innovation Fellows at Morgan State University are unique because our team is composed of individuals who have different backgrounds and experiences creating an abundance of ideas and perspectives.  The team’s goal is to help bring about a change that the students want to see, and also help raise awareness and understanding of the importance of entrepreneurship and innovation. Morgan State offers many useful resources but they are either limited to certain majors or most students simply do not know they exist. Our goal is to make all labs, workshops and development centers accessible to every student.</span></span>

<span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"> </span></span>

== Create an Innovation, Commercialization, and Entrepreneurship (ICE) Center ==

<span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">This premier urban innovation center will foster creativity, improve entrepreneurial skill sets, and increase interdisciplinary collaborations. It will include a skills lab for learning hard skills. Weekly tech tutorials and workshops will also be given in this space.</span></span>

== Incorporate Diversity Representation ==

<span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">Students participating in a Multicultural week to showcase the treasures of the underrepresented ethnicities on campus. Morgan having a large variety of international students, all cultures should be celebrated and unbiased.</span></span>
<span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">A brief general overview of Multicultural week: There will be a variety of events throughout the week where students can represent their countries flags, traditional attire and food. A multicultural mixer for students to music from different countries. Lastly, an day of cultural education, where students have the opportunity to teach other students on campus about their countries.</span></span>

== Install BearBoards throughout campus. ==

To implement this project, the steps that need to be taken are:

<span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">1.   Present Idea to Stakeholders, and check the interest and support levels</span></span>

<span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">2.   Ask students on campus how they would like BearBoards</span></span>

<span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">3.   Come up with specific design and prototype of BearBoards</span></span>

<span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">4.   Reveal the prototype to Stakeholders and possible Sponsors and Donors</span></span>

<span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">5.   Begin the installation process for the BearBoards</span></span>

<span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">6.   Announce the opening of the BearBoards and promote usage throughout campus.</span></span>

<span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"> </span></span>

== Product Development Center ==

<span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">The University Innovation Fellows plan to bring a Product Development Center to Morgan State University. This center will be a makerspace which allows students to develop prototypes. Morgan is home to many great ideas and wonderful entrepreneurs but students do not have a space to make those dreams come to fruition.</span></span>

<span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"> </span></span>

== Design Thinking Workshops' ==

<span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">Design thinking workshops that involve both engineering and business students will be beneficial because students will collaborate ideas when working with such individuals form different fields. Mixing the two majors can have a huge impact on the university and growth of the students as well. Design thinking invokes a new process for developing answers to problems from multidimensional perspectives making it an excellent project.</span></span>

<span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"> </span></span>

== Alumni Student Mixer' ==

<span><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">The disconnect between Alumni and students can be helped by incorporating the Alumni Student Mixer. The Alumni House on campus has a specific budget and council used to incorporate the connection between alumni and students. Unfortunately these resources are never used to bring the two together. An Alumni Student mixer can help bridge the gap of non-communication and open opportunities for job offer, internships for students as well as possible events to incorporate on Morgan's campus that is beneficial to the campus community.</span></span>

== Expose more STEM students to Innovation and Entrepreneurship ==

<span style="font-size:medium"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif">'''Tactic #1-'''The provision of an Introduction to Business course for STEM majors will heavily attract the interest of these students who feel they just have to get the A's  to become well rounded</span>.</span>

<span style="font-size:medium">'''Tactic #2- '''Introducing a Campus Discovery concept called Morgan Konnect where students will be able to view and leverage the [https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0By3dnjIxAwoDalFnNmF3ZzI4QjA&usp=sharing# Morgan State University Landscape Canvas] to Discover,Learn, Experiment, Pursue, and Spin out.</span>

<span style="font-size:medium">'''Tactic #3- '''Building an incubator for students who have personal projects they would like to pursue in line with technological innovation. This environment will aid the students to build a creative mindset which may be the seed of "The Next Big Thing."</span>

== Increase Student-Driven Commercialization ==

<span style="font-size:medium"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif">Morgan has stated that it will "support innovation in business and the commercialization of intellectual property through growing a culture of innovation and entrepreneurship, securing an increased number of patents, and establishing a technology transfer center to support the creation of new business and technology transfer enterprises"</span></span>

'''<span style="font-size:medium">Tactic #1: Local Tech Collaboration with incubators such as [http://etcbaltimore.com/ ETC Baltimore] and accelerators such as [http://www.juxtopia.org/about/founder/ Juxtopia]:</span>'''

<span style="font-size:medium"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif">Morgan has stated that it wants to "explore public/private collaborative relationships with developers, contractors, and other commercial groups and entities to develop new environmentally-sustainable and technologically-advanced administrative and student residential facilities, to expand Morgan’s physical presence throughout the state, and to promote the state and the Morgan brand."</span></span>

== Local partnerships will expose students to industrial and entrepreneurial skills through projects designed by members of the local tech community. ==

<span style="font-size:medium"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif">'''Tactic #2: Redefining the terms of the intellectual property rights outline by Morgan State University:'''</span></span>

<span style="font-size:medium">Students are eager to build new technology and make changes, but as individuals who have work hard though using the resources of the college would like to believe that in the 21st century students can still receive recognition for their work. A proposal is that "any potentially patentable inventions belong to the university, and royalties are split between the inventor, his/her department and Morgan State University (1/3 each). For undergraduates, the IP is theirs, unless their work has been supported by research funds, or they have made use of shops, labs and other Morgan State University property more than incidentally."</span></span>

<span style='font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">The disconnect between Alumni and students can be helped by incorporating the Alumni Student Mixer. The Alumni House on campus has a specific budget and council used to incorporate the connection between alumni and students. Unfortunately these resources are never used to bring the two together. An Alumni Student mixer can help bridge the gap of non-communication and open opportunities for job offer, internships for students as well as possible events to incorporate on Morgan's campus that is beneficial to the campus community.</span></span>

== Expose more STEM students to Innovation and Entrepreneurship ==

<span style="font-size:medium"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif">'''Tactic #1-'''The provision of an Introduction to Business course for STEM majors will heavily attract the interest of these students who feel they just have to get the A's  to become well rounded</span>.</span>

<span style="font-size:medium">'''Tactic #2- '''Introducing a Campus Discovery concept called Morgan Konnect where students will be able to view and leverage the [https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0By3dnjIxAwoDalFnNmF3ZzI4QjA&usp=sharing# Morgan State University Landscape Canvas] to Discover,Learn, Experiment, Pursue, and Spin out.</span>

<span style="font-size:medium">'''Tactic #3- '''Building an incubator for students who have personal projects they would like to pursue in line with technological innovation. This environment will aid the students to build a creative mindset which may be the seed of "The Next Big Thing."</span>

== Increase Student-Driven Commercialization ==

<span style="font-size:medium"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif">Morgan has stated that it will "support innovation in business and the commercialization of intellectual property through growing a culture of innovation and entrepreneurship, securing an increased number of patents, and establishing a technology transfer center to support the creation of new business and technology transfer enterprises"</span></span>

'''<span style="font-size:medium">Tactic #1: Local Tech Collaboration with incubators such as [http://etcbaltimore.com/ ETC Baltimore] and accelerators such as [http://www.juxtopia.org/about/founder/ Juxtopia]:</span>'''

<span style="font-size:medium"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif">Morgan has stated that it wants to "explore public/private collaborative relationships with developers, contractors, and other commercial groups and entities to develop new environmentally-sustainable and technologically-advanced administrative and student residential facilities, to expand Morgan’s physical presence throughout the state, and to promote the state and the Morgan brand."</span></span>

== Local partnerships will expose students to industrial and entrepreneurial skills through projects designed by members of the local tech community. ==

<span style="font-size:medium"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif">'''Tactic #2: Redefining the terms of the intellectual property rights outline by Morgan State University:'''</span></span>

<span style="font-size:medium">Students are eager to build new technology and make changes, but as individuals who have work hard though using the resources of the college would like to believe that in the 21st century students can still receive recognition for their work. A proposal is that "any potentially patentable inventions belong to the university, and royalties are split between the inventor, his/her department and Morgan State University (1/3 each). For undergraduates, the IP is theirs, unless their work has been supported by research funds, or they have made use of shops, labs and other Morgan State University property more than incidentally."</span></span>
