= Strategic Priorities =

== Encourage student Awareness and Involvement on Campus ==

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.

 

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

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.

== Incorporate Diversity Representation ==

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. 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.

Tactic #1: Utilizing the Student Government Association and various student campus orginizations propose to the Univeristy a Mulitcultural Week.

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.

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.

Tactic #4: Broadcast to the Morgan MILE which is the community that surrounds Morgan so that they may be involved in the cultural education. 

== Install BearBoards throughout campus. ==

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

1.   Present Idea to Stakeholders, and check the interest and support levels

2.   Ask students on campus how they would like BearBoards

3.   Come up with specific design and prototype of BearBoards

4.   Reveal the prototype to Stakeholders and possible Sponsors and Donors

5.   Begin the installation process for the BearBoards

6.   Announce the opening of the BearBoards and promote usage throughout campus.

 

== Product Development Center ==

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.

 

== Design Thinking Workshops ==

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.

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. Coordinate with Dr. Foster a UIF Advisor who has done a Design Thinking Course to collaborate on how to approach this program at Morgan.

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.

Tactical #3: Implement improvement from feedback and open Design Thinking works shops to Morgan students of all majors and classifications.

Tactical #4: Get students interested in working towards a Maker Space. 

 

== Alumni Student Mixer ==

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 offers, internships for students as well as possible events to incorporate on Morgan's campus that is beneficial to the campus community.

Tactic #1: Reach out to Alumni house on campus to act as a liaison between Alumni and current student body. 

Tactic #2: Begin reaching out to Alumni introducing them to the idea and giving them ample time to schedule time with us.

Tactic #3: Work diligently with the administration in the Alumni House to solidify logistics (i.e. Location, maximum capacity, itinerary of the event, costs and materials needed, book a photographer, plan promotion tactics)

Tactic #4: Use promotion tactics as agreed between the Alumni House and our group to reach out to students on campus. In order to reach out to students, we will most likely partner with prevalent student organizations with high visibility (i.e. Student Government Association, SMOOTH Organization, National Council of Negro Women Club, etc.) to gain student body interest. Continue to promote this event to ensure great attendance.

Tactic #5: Send same promotional details to Alumni ranging from graduating Class of 1970 to the most recent graduating class. This allows a broad spectrum of Alumni that can appeal to the student body. Give Alumni ample amount of time to spread the word and to request off of work or arrange travel plans in time of event.

Tactic #6: Plan an agenda balancing fun activities (like a "Battle of the Decades" DJ competition, "Journey through time" fashion show of attire worn back when each class went to school divided by very 5 years, and a menu for attendees to be able to enjoy food). Plan engaging networking opportunities inbetween (Keynote speakers from top companies speaking to students, panel of Alumni for a professional Q&A, "Speed Interviewing"; match students with one Alumni from a top company and every 5 minutes the student would move down to the next Alumni, this would allow students to get a snapshot of the company and allows the Alumni to meet students for potential job offers (resumes and business cards would be exchanged, at the end, each would rate the other and high rankings will be paired after event)). This maximizes attendance for the current student body by attracting them with "fun" and professional development, as well as appealing to the Alumni for a walk down memory lane and an opportunity to give back to their Alma Mater. 

Tactic #7: Launch event.

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

'''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.

'''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.

'''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."

== Increase Student-Driven Commercialization ==

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"

'''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]:'''

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."

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

'''Tactic #2: Redefining the terms of the intellectual property rights outline by Morgan State University:'''

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."

{{#Widget:Prezis| id=djdwxjbh20b5 |width=900|height=400 }}

= Campus Overview =

1. Promoting student innovation and'''entrepreneurship:''' At Morgan State University, our leadership circle has invested lots of energy and time to find the resources that are available for students here at Morgan Campus. It is an excellent job to look into different areas that will help the Morgan students to develop entrepreneurship and innovative thinking. The circle landscape canvas depicts on different accessible resources for the success of Morgan students but unfortunately only few percentage of students are aware of all these resources setup to meet their entrepreneurship and innovative needs. Morgan State University is an excellent institution full of diverse students from different background and ethnic group around the world and these diversity makes it more a better ecosystem to practice and educate students on innovation and entrepreneurship.

2. Encouraging faculty innovation and entrepreneurship: The faculty at Morgan are intrigued and more willing to advance entrepreneurship and innovation into the Morgan community. For instance, Dr. Foster is one best faculty that help to promote IE on Morgan campus likewise the President, Dr. David Wilson, has expressed his upkeep on the I&E development. Empowered and motivated faculty will in this manner fortify the advancement and business enterprise attitude in the instructors' to students. The vision will be shared and students will begin to comprehend what I&E all about. Dr. Amory, the chair of civil engineering Department, has expressed that this development is essential to him because he admire the idea of thinking outside the box and be creative, and he has a few thoughts on the best way to accelerate this development for example, project based learning is a good scenario of innovation. Remembering that Morgan State is a general suburbanite school, we ought to make assets available for all students (both graduate and undergraduate students) with hours that are helpful for all. The greater part of the students have overwhelming timetables and are adjusting all day work plans while having low maintenance or full-time course stacks. The staff will be a major a portion of this development, since they can understandable and voice critical students’ difficulties.

3. Actively supporting the university technology transfer function: The office of Technology Transfer at Morgan state University works to serve as a fully integrated counter that is built to manage all of the intellectual properties, helps encourage economic development, fulfill the universities federal obligations to the public, and more. The office is always willing to assault MSU faculty on patent applications, trademarks, and copyrights. The office wants to help MSU innovators with technology marketing to best benefit the inventor, the investor, as well as the University. Ultimately, the office of Technology Transfer has all of the resources needed for the students and the University’s needs; furthermore, remaining an important factor on campus.

 4. Facilitating University-Industry Collaboration:Morgan State University remains highly interested in working to get collaboration with Industry projects. The company must trust the student body and have had a prior relationship with the school. Also, it is hard for companies to promote work that doesn’t remain top secret, due to the discretion in certain areas of interest. None the less, MSU is working to build relationships with companies to be able to open up opportunities like that. For example, Dr. Joseph A. Whittaker helped promote a joint cooperative agreement from the Earth Sciences Division of NASA Goddard Space Flight Center. MSU has been working hard to promote more opportunities like these, and obtain more in the near future.

 5. Engaging with regional and local economic development efforts:As far as economic development, The Division of Research and Economic Development (DRED) supports MSU staff with their research efforts. MSU feels the more research available, the better experiences the students will have. OVPR&ED works on a consistent bases with deans and department chairs t help promote institutional and cross-disciplinary research initiatives. With a 500 thousand dollar STEM student internship program and 23.3 Million dollars’ worth of grants from the National Institute of Health. MSU Vice President Dr. Victor R. McCarry, the deans, and department chairs are still working to obtain more money for better regional and local economic development opportunities.

= Strategic Priorities =

== Encourage student Awareness and Involvement on Campus ==

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.

 

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

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.

== Incorporate Diversity Representation ==

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. 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.

Tactic #1: Utilizing the Student Government Association and various student campus orginizations propose to the Univeristy a Mulitcultural Week.

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.

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.

Tactic #4: Broadcast to the Morgan MILE which is the community that surrounds Morgan so that they may be involved in the cultural education. 

== Install BearBoards throughout campus. ==

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

1.   Present Idea to Stakeholders, and check the interest and support levels

2.   Ask students on campus how they would like BearBoards

3.   Come up with specific design and prototype of BearBoards

4.   Reveal the prototype to Stakeholders and possible Sponsors and Donors

5.   Begin the installation process for the BearBoards

6.   Announce the opening of the BearBoards and promote usage throughout campus.

 

== Product Development Center ==

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.

 

== Design Thinking Workshops ==

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.

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. Coordinate with Dr. Foster a UIF Advisor who has done a Design Thinking Course to collaborate on how to approach this program at Morgan.

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.

Tactical #3: Implement improvement from feedback and open Design Thinking works shops to Morgan students of all majors and classifications.

Tactical #4: Get students interested in working towards a Maker Space. 

 

== Alumni Student Mixer ==

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 offers, internships for students as well as possible events to incorporate on Morgan's campus that is beneficial to the campus community.

Tactic #1: Reach out to Alumni house on campus to act as a liaison between Alumni and current student body. 

Tactic #2: Begin reaching out to Alumni introducing them to the idea and giving them ample time to schedule time with us.

Tactic #3: Work diligently with the administration in the Alumni House to solidify logistics (i.e. Location, maximum capacity, itinerary of the event, costs and materials needed, book a photographer, plan promotion tactics)

Tactic #4: Use promotion tactics as agreed between the Alumni House and our group to reach out to students on campus. In order to reach out to students, we will most likely partner with prevalent student organizations with high visibility (i.e. Student Government Association, SMOOTH Organization, National Council of Negro Women Club, etc.) to gain student body interest. Continue to promote this event to ensure great attendance.

Tactic #5: Send same promotional details to Alumni ranging from graduating Class of 1970 to the most recent graduating class. This allows a broad spectrum of Alumni that can appeal to the student body. Give Alumni ample amount of time to spread the word and to request off of work or arrange travel plans in time of event.

Tactic #6: Plan an agenda balancing fun activities (like a "Battle of the Decades" DJ competition, "Journey through time" fashion show of attire worn back when each class went to school divided by very 5 years, and a menu for attendees to be able to enjoy food). Plan engaging networking opportunities inbetween (Keynote speakers from top companies speaking to students, panel of Alumni for a professional Q&A, "Speed Interviewing"; match students with one Alumni from a top company and every 5 minutes the student would move down to the next Alumni, this would allow students to get a snapshot of the company and allows the Alumni to meet students for potential job offers (resumes and business cards would be exchanged, at the end, each would rate the other and high rankings will be paired after event)). This maximizes attendance for the current student body by attracting them with "fun" and professional development, as well as appealing to the Alumni for a walk down memory lane and an opportunity to give back to their Alma Mater. 

Tactic #7: Launch event.

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

'''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.

'''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.

'''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."

== Increase Student-Driven Commercialization ==

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"

'''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]:'''

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."

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

'''Tactic #2: Redefining the terms of the intellectual property rights outline by Morgan State University:'''

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."

{{#Widget:Prezis| id=djdwxjbh20b5 |width=900|height=400 }}

= Campus Overview =

1. Promoting student innovation and'''entrepreneurship:''' At Morgan State University, our leadership circle has invested lots of energy and time to find the resources that are available for students here at Morgan Campus. It is an excellent job to look into different areas that will help the Morgan students to develop entrepreneurship and innovative thinking. The circle landscape canvas depicts on different accessible resources for the success of Morgan students but unfortunately only few percentage of students are aware of all these resources setup to meet their entrepreneurship and innovative needs. Morgan State University is an excellent institution full of diverse students from different background and ethnic group around the world and these diversity makes it more a better ecosystem to practice and educate students on innovation and entrepreneurship.

2. Encouraging faculty innovation and entrepreneurship: The faculty at Morgan are intrigued and more willing to advance entrepreneurship and innovation into the Morgan community. For instance, Dr. Foster is one best faculty that help to promote IE on Morgan campus likewise the President, Dr. David Wilson, has expressed his upkeep on the I&E development. Empowered and motivated faculty will in this manner fortify the advancement and business enterprise attitude in the instructors' to students. The vision will be shared and students will begin to comprehend what I&E all about. Dr. Amory, the chair of civil engineering Department, has expressed that this development is essential to him because he admire the idea of thinking outside the box and be creative, and he has a few thoughts on the best way to accelerate this development for example, project based learning is a good scenario of innovation. Remembering that Morgan State is a general suburbanite school, we ought to make assets available for all students (both graduate and undergraduate students) with hours that are helpful for all. The greater part of the students have overwhelming timetables and are adjusting all day work plans while having low maintenance or full-time course stacks. The staff will be a major a portion of this development, since they can understandable and voice critical students’ difficulties.

3. Actively supporting the university technology transfer function: The office of Technology Transfer at Morgan state University works to serve as a fully integrated counter that is built to manage all of the intellectual properties, helps encourage economic development, fulfill the universities federal obligations to the public, and more. The office is always willing to assault MSU faculty on patent applications, trademarks, and copyrights. The office wants to help MSU innovators with technology marketing to best benefit the inventor, the investor, as well as the University. Ultimately, the office of Technology Transfer has all of the resources needed for the students and the University’s needs; furthermore, remaining an important factor on campus.

 4. Facilitating University-Industry Collaboration:Morgan State University remains highly interested in working to get collaboration with Industry projects. The company must trust the student body and have had a prior relationship with the school. Also, it is hard for companies to promote work that doesn’t remain top secret, due to the discretion in certain areas of interest. None the less, MSU is working to build relationships with companies to be able to open up opportunities like that. For example, Dr. Joseph A. Whittaker helped promote a joint cooperative agreement from the Earth Sciences Division of NASA Goddard Space Flight Center. MSU has been working hard to promote more opportunities like these, and obtain more in the near future.

 5. Engaging with regional and local economic development efforts:As far as economic development, The Division of Research and Economic Development (DRED) supports MSU staff with their research efforts. MSU feels the more research available, the better experiences the students will have. OVPR&ED works on a consistent bases with deans and department chairs t help promote institutional and cross-disciplinary research initiatives. With a 500 thousand dollar STEM student internship program and 23.3 Million dollars’ worth of grants from the National Institute of Health. MSU Vice President Dr. Victor R. McCarry, the deans, and department chairs are still working to obtain more money for better regional and local economic development opportunities.

Research conducted at the PEARL facility located near the Patuxent River is designed to increase the understanding of coastal ecosystems so that they may be properly managed and protected. Much of the work is focused on the Chesapeake Bay and its tributaries, such as the Patuxent River.

'''New Business School Building'''

Morgan State University has just opened a new Earl G. Graves School of Business and Management building. The building contains hotel rooms, large kitchens for hospitality majors, Bloomberg terminal, and more. This building so far has brought new life to the Morgan State campus by expanding as well as modernizing the campus allowing the campus to be brought into a new light and gaining outsider attention. In under a year there have been multiple businesses that have hosted major events in the beautiful building.
