==Strategic Priorities 2021-2022 Cohort==

===Priority 1: Create an Education Entrepreneurship course===

*Set the problem space for students by teaching them about the challenges
*Use I&E methods to have students create solutions to improve teaching, student experience, or student teacher connections

===Priority 2: Create a three day startup weekend event===

*The first event will be focused on Education Entrepreneurship to prototype priority 1
*Use I&E methods to have students create solutions to improve teaching, student experience, or student teacher connections
*Have speakers attend to talk about the demands of educators and challenges of instruction (pedagogy)

*Link students with University resources to further their projects or simply to learn more about I&E

===Priority 3: Integrate E&I into other majors through projects===

*Expand the benefits of E&I to all majors through active learning project 

 
==Strategic Priorities 2023-2-24 Cohort==

===Priority 1: Identify Student and Local Vendors===

*Prioritize local farmers and artisans who follow sustainable farming practices and utilize eco-friendly packaging.
*Encourage vendors to use minimal or recyclable packaging to reduce waste. Prioritize those who actively engage in packaging waste reduction initiatives, such as offering reusable containers or encouraging customers to bring their own.

===Priority 2: Promotion and Education===

*Promote the event with a strong emphasis on sustainability, showcasing the benefits of supporting local, eco-conscious vendors.
*Market the event and promote through food.

===Priority 3: Feedback and Continuous Improvement===

*Gather feedback from vendors, attendees, and stakeholders to evaluate the event's success and identify areas for improvement in sustainability efforts.
*Actively try to involve student organizations, sustainability clubs, and local environmental groups to engage attendees on sustainability initiatives. 

== Strategic Priorities 2024-2025 Cohort ==

=== Priority 1: Increasing Resource Access ===

* I&E cannot be sustainably maintained if students do not have easy access to basic resources
* Increased resource usage can bring people to I&E (career advisment) or even prevent them from leaving I&E (tutoring services)
* Through increasing accessibility of ''all'' campus resources, more students will be available to be the absolute best versions of themselves that they can be

=== Priority 2: Connection and Sense of Community ===

* Bringing people together is the best way to generate positive, impactful ideas
* Working as a full campus with one goal rather then simply individuals allows for ideas to be implemented faster and more effectively
* People are far more likely to care about change when they have emotional connections to others who will be affected by said change

=== Priority 3: "Giving the People What They Want" ===

* Feedback from real students and community members is the only way to effectively implement ideas that will not only last a long time, but will also actively implement change
* Effective communication and accepting critiques from the community is the only way to make sustainable change
* Implementing "change" that doesn't benefit anyone is not useful change. Change should be impactful, and communication is the only way to have ''impactful'' change.

{{#Widget:Youtube|id=DcFXZDafF3s }} 

= CAMPUS OVERVIEW =

==Promoting Student I&E==

==== RCIE ====
The heart of I&E at Rowan University is the Rohrer College of Business, which houses the Rowan Center for Innovation and Entrepreneurship (RCIE). The RCIE provides students with resources and opportunities to get connected with mentors and seed funding for their entrepreneurial ideas. The RCIE hosts 70+ events each semester, such as Design Thinking, Prototyping, and Innovation Express workshops.

''More information about RCIE can be found here'': https://ent.rowan.edu/rcie/

==== IDEA Challenge ====
Annually, Rowan hosts the Idea Challenge in partnership with the Rowan Center of Innovation and Entrepreneurship. The Idea Challenge is designed to connect, educate and help students realize their entrepreneurial potential. The RCIE chooses local industry professionals as judges to qualify which of the team product pitches has the most potential. Once a decision is reached, the winning team is awarded seed funding for their product or service. This event is hosted in the fall to segway entrepreneurial students into the Venture Challenge in the Spring, which offers further financial support for start-up companies.

''More Information about the IDEA Challenge can be found here'': https://ent.rowan.edu/rcie/startupru/competitions/ideachallenge.html

==== Clubs and Programs ====
There are a wide variety of clubs and programs on Rowan Universities Campus that encourage I&E amongst students. A few of note are listed below, but this is '''not''' a comprehensive list

''CEO Club''

''Automotive and Robotics Society''

''Studio 231''

''Engineering Organizations:''

* ''Engineering Without Borders''
* ''National Society of Black Engineers''

* ''etc...''

''More information about Rowans Clubs and Organizations can be found here'': https://rowan.campuslabs.com/engage/organizations

==== New Venture Competition ====
A competition specifically for students to generate new, lucrative ideas and encourage them to take advantage of their beneficial business and entrepreneurial ideas. It provides a valuable experience that makes it possible for students to prepare for their futures in innovation and teach them about entrepreneurship.

''More Information about Rowan University's I&E Undergraduate Programs can be found here:'' https://ent.rowan.edu/academics/undergrad/
 

== Encouraging Faculty I&E ==

==== Rowan100 ====
UIF faculty member Mike Dominik plans to launch Rowan100, a program to spur small businesses in the Glassboro area to celebrate Rowan's 100 year anniversary. The student UIF cohort of 2021 worked with him on this endeavor.

''More about Rowan 100 can be found here:'' https://sites.rowan.edu/centennial/social.html

''More about the 2021 Rowan University Cohort can be found here:'' [[:Category:Rowan University (2021 cohort)|Category:Rowan University (2021 cohort)]]

==== Grant Workshops ====
Rowan University is very proud of the robust research oppertunities available to students and faculty. Specifically for faculty however, there are workshops available on how to apply, use, and operate grants for research and other projects. This is a resource that is specifically put on for faculty. Past workshops have included, but are not limited to: "Overview of Grant Application Process", "Finding Grant Funding", and "Cayuse".

''More Information about the Rowan University Grant Workshops can be found here:'' https://research.rowan.edu/officeofresearch/sponsoredprograms/workshops.html
 

== Actively Supporting University Technology Transfer Function ==

==== Office of Technology Communication ====
Rowan University proudly holds an Office of Technology Communication that effectively defends, advocates, and manage the intellectual property produced by the university. Not only do they manage all of the school's IP's, but they are also the department that assesses how marketable or unmarketable a product or service may be in the South Jersey setting. Additionally, they help build new government and industry relationships while assuring compliance with federal rules and regulations. They also are passionate about educating students and faculty about how intellectual properties work as well as the technology-transfer process.

''More information about the Office of Technology Communication can be found here:'' https://research.rowan.edu/officeofresearch/commercialization/
 

== Facilitating University-Industry Collaboration ==

==== Engineering Clinics ====
The "Engineering Clinic" is an idea that is unique to the engineering coursework at Rowan University.

Students of all engineering majors come together to tackle real-time industry research or professor work. Junior and Senior engineers at Rowan can choose what research project to work on as their Clinic course each semester. Some of these courses are sponsored by government companies or industry in which students have the equivalency of working under a company for course credit. These clinic range from designing Mars mining equipment for NASA to implementing medical equipment to providing relief efforts for third-world-countries after natural disaster. Some students even start their own projects to make their own Clinic course with the help of University funding.

Industry and research projects go even beyond the classroom at Rowan, however. The addition of our South Jersey Tech Park creates a research facility for a variety of projects, ranging from drone research to a virtual reality center. On top of that, a lot of STEM professors at Rowan conduct independent research projects, in which case they take on a team of interested students for the opportunity to be a part of their research.

''More Information about the Rowan Engineering Clinics can be found here:'' https://engineering.rowan.edu/academics/clinics_new.html

==== Internships ====
Rowan has many opportunities for students to collaborate with industry. Apart from the many corporate partnerships of the school of business and the RCIE, students frequently get co-ops with companies like Subaru and Lockheed Martin, however opportunities are not limited to these two companies alone. These co-ops can be completed for course credit, which encourages students to get real world experience in industry pre-graduation, as well as giving industry a look into how current employee's are being educated.

''More Information about Rowan Internship opportunities can be found here'': https://business.rowan.edu/experience-rohrer/internships.html

==== Entrepreneur In Residence ====
In order to encourage both mentorship and networking, Rowan University offers a special opportunity for students of any major to make an appointment with the entrepreneurs in residence. These incredible thinkers offer advice, knowledge, and experience to any student interested in entrepreneurship. Students can make appointments with them and help students to learn how to think beyond their goals.

''More Information about Rowans Entrepreneurs in Residence can be found here'': https://ent.rowan.edu/rcie/entrepreneurinresidence.html

==== Saxby's Experiential Learning Program ====
Rowan is a proud member of a multi-institutional program that encourages undergrad, hands-on learning that encourages students to think ahead and encourages I&E at a very base level. Saxby's is a coffee chain company in multiple universities along the east coast, where each establishment is entirely run by the students at that particular university, allowing students to climb ranks, come up with new business ideas, and practice practical innovation. The Rowan Saxby's is well loved by students on campus and can be found in the Rohrer College of Buissness Building.

''More information about Rowans Saxby's Location can be found here:'' https://ent.rowan.edu/rcie/saxbys.html

''More Information about the Saxby's program as a whole can be found here:'' https://www.saxbyscoffee.com/the-saxbys-elp/
 

== Engaging With Regional and Local Development Efforts ==

==== Rowan Innovation Venture Fund ====
The Rowan Innovation Venture Fund, co-founded by Howard Lubert, is a University based $5 million private-equity fund. Established in 2014 and provides early stage funding to students, faculty, alumni, and companies that have developed and tested products. This Fund heavily contributes to a growing initiative in encouraging entrepreneurial and innovative campus growth. Howard Lubert is also the Area President of the Keiretsu Forum Mid-Atlantic. Through Keiretsu, Rowan students can get funded for projects.

The New Jersey Entrepreneurship State Fund is also available to Rowan students as it is awarded to a NJ student on a yearly basis through the NJ State Department.

''More Information about the Rowan Innovation Venture Fund can be found here'': https://ent.rowan.edu/rivf.html

==== AccelerateRU ====
AccelerateRU is a summer program that encourages entrepreneurship through helping students increase the speed at which they can get their ventures off of the ground. Depending on the project, there is also an opportunity for seed funding. Students are coached on marketing, design thinking, as well as legal matters regarding IP's. These projects, historically, have greatly benefitted the grater Glassboro area.

''More Information about AccelerateRU can be found here:'' https://ent.rowan.edu/rcie/startupru/accelerateru.html

==== South Jersey Tech Park ====
The South Jersey Tech Park was generated from a generous donation that seeks to improve the technological advancments of the southern New Jersey Area as well as increasing technological advancements and research of Rowan University.
