Raneem is a University Innovation Fellow and an undergraduate student studying History and Political Science at the City College of New York (CCNY). Raneem is very involved on campus and has known to dabble in many areas of study and activities. This allowed Raneem to gain valuable knowledge, participate in great opportunities, and create memorable experiences while at the City College of New York.

As a student at the City College of New York Raneem has been able to get involved in many things. She has been in the Undergraduate Student Government(USG) as a senator three years and the secretary for one year. She has also been a delegate for the University Student Senate(USS) for two years and the secretary for one year. She has worked for the Office of Student Life and Leadership Development(OSLLD) as well as the Office of Student Success(OSS). She has also held many positions for some of the student clubs on campus. She is working with the Zahn Innovation Center, the incubator, makerspace, and hub for entrepreneurship and innovation on campus, on many of their programs. The most important thing she achieved from being involved in so many things is the experiences she was able to have as a student. As a USG senator, she have been able to go to meetings with the president of the college as well as other administrators. As an employee of the OSLLD, she was an integral part of planning school spirit events. While working for the OSS, she was able to provide help to the students and see results on the spot. Being a student leader, there are many things Raneem wants to fix on her campus in order to make CCNY a better experience for her peers and new students. As a university innovation fellow Raneem wants to help students land their dream job and lead their best lives through implementing innovation on campus.

For most of her life, Raneem has believed in giving back and helping others. Wherever Raneem went she sought after more opportunities to give back. It wasn’t until she was having a conversation with her professor who said “I’m all for giving back, but what’s in it for you,” that Raneem realized something very important. Her realization was that there are not many people that give back without expecting something in return. The University Innovation Fellows have proved themselves to be selfless people who are passionate about helping their peers and institutions. This is the environment Raneem wants to be in when she is changing the world for the generations to come.

Resource:How to measure, document and report usage of equipment in your makerspace

= '''Introduction''' =

We interviewed [[Forrest_Satterfield|Forrest Satterfield]], a student from the University of Alabama at Birmingham, who is an active advocate for promoting innovative culture [[File:UAB - Makerspace 1.jpeg|thumb]]through creating platforms for students to gain easier access to tools that support their innovative entrepreneurial ventures. As a result, he and his peers created a makerspace at the campus' library. During the interview, Forrest provided insights on how to start a makerspace, how to get funding for it, and most importantly, how to operate the makerspace to ensure that equipment used in makerspace are properly managed and taken care of.

== How was the makerspace created? ==

Although there was no proven evidence for a need of a makerspace, Forrest realizes how much more potential students could do if there are makerspace tools available for students.

== How to secure a space for a makerspace? ==

When Forrest and his peers have the idea of creating a makerspace platform, they did not immediately get a space. Instead, they started by occupying an area at the campus library. They would build prototypes in the public area at the library using the pieces of equipment that they begin to bring in. As more people occupied the space, the demand for a private space increase when there was not having enough space for pieces of equipment or materials. Ultimately, Forrest and his peers, along with equipment users, were granted to have space entirely dedicated to a makerspace room by having a divider built between the makerspace and the larger room of the library. 

Once you secure a space, use the layout to dictate the actions you want your users to make. People will respond and act according to the layout of the room. Example: If it is a theater setting, people will treat it as a theater and will sit down. If you want an interactive space, you may want less chairs. 

== No Funds? No problem. ==

Identify what is needed from your clients by interviewing them. If they are students, interview the students to see if there is need for a Makerspace and what equipment would be needed. This way you can focus on the most important factors of the space.When interviewing them, remember you are trying to empathize with them and figure out what their biggest need is. For example, money and funding can solve the problem, but that does not mean finance is the root issue. 

When it comes down to funding, what is the best way to receive it from your school? It is better to ask for help, rather than money. Your admin and faculty would be much more open to responding to help than a request for funding. Be patient, and eventually the funding will be available.

= OVERVIEW =

The City College of the City University of New York is a public senior college of the City University of New York in New York City.

= STUDENT INNOVATION & ENTREPRENEURSHIP =

Currently, the community at the City College of New York (students, faculty and alumni) have minimum exposure when it comes to innovation and entrepreneurship. This is for many reasons, and largely is due to lack of faculty and student initiative to improve these conditions. As we progressed through UIF training, we made it our goal to engage the students' body, learn from our peers, and find ways to inspire, motivate, and create initiatives to foster that community of innovation and entrepreneurship.

The Zahn Innovation Center:
<ul style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;">
<li>The Zahn Center is CCNY’s first and only startup accelerator and incubator. It aims to support CCNY’s most dedicated student innovators by allowing them to experience a traditional accelerator program; with the mentorship, funding, and office space - while maintaining status as a student.</li>
</ul>

TEDx CUNY:
<ul style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;">
<li>Independently organized TEDx talks throughout the City University system of NYC bring powerful and credible stories directly to students. Throughout the CUNY system, student organizations have organized TEDx Salons, which are lower lift talks with high level impact.</li>
</ul>

The Campus:
<ul style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;">
<li>The Campus magazine showcases accomplished students initiatives and significant changes in CCNY’s I&E atmosphere. The publication allows those who feel like their dreams may not become a reality to view actual examples of students who made things happen.</li>
</ul>

Conversations in Leadership
<ul style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;">
<li>The Colin Powell School for Global Leadership brings accomplished businessmen, entrepreneurs, and inventors to our small campus. These leaders inspire the student body to reach out towards the existing resources on campus that many take for granted.</li>
</ul>

City College Fund
<ul style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;">
<li>The City College Fund remains transparent with students and leaves its doors open. The fund gladly welcomes students initiatives with open doors and wallets. The fund has been known for working with administration in identifying which student led projects deserve funding and supports them with connections as well.</li>
</ul>

Undergraduate academic programs in entrepreneurship:
<ul style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;">
<li>ECO C0026 Managing Business Complexity</li>
<li>Entrepreneurship: Women & Diversity</li>
<li>ECO - 41250 Entrepreneurship Course</li>
<li>ECO 42000 - Internship</li>
</ul>

= FACULTY INNOVATION & ENTREPRENEURSHIP =
<ul style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;">
<li>Zahn Center Venture Competitions</li>
<li>Zahn Center Incubator/Accelerator</li>
</ul>

= UNIVERSITY TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER =

CUNY CAT - The CUNY Center for Advanced Technology promotes industry-university collaborative research and development and spurs industrial economic impact through applied research, technology transfer in commercial arenas and encouragement of faculty entrepreneurship. The CUNY CAT is sponsored by the New York State Department of Economic Development, Division of Science, Technology, and Innovation (NYSTAR) and The City University of New York.
