		+
		+	''Project Leader: Ellie Zentner''
		+
		+	There are many students, whether seniors in high school or early college students, who are unsure of what kind of career path they want to take. The problem is, most of these students aren't sure where to go for guidance. It's hard for students to fully grasp which majors will actually suit them based on their interests and skills. Furthermore, students might not know their options outside of attending a traditional four-year university. Overall, the goal is to implement a program or series of events that will help guide these students so they can ultimately discover the ideal career path for them. The biggest concern with this is figuring out which tactic will get the biggest response from students and be the most accessible.
		+
		+	'''Potential Tactics'''
		+
		+	1. Setting up a biyearly "major fair" where students can attend booths ran by upperclassmen of each major
		+
		+	2. Implementing a new section of UNO's peer mentoring program specifically designed for undeclared majors or students unsure of their major
		+
		+	3. Introducing seminars where students can learn about different career fields as well as options outside of four-year college (trade school, community college, etc.)

		+	===Strategic Priority 1: Exposing STEM students to arts and humanities===
		+
		+	''Project Leader: Hailey Bixler''
		+
		+	Many STEM students at UNO, especially engineers, have very rigid schedules that require almost exclusively math and science classes. We want to give them a chance to express their creativity and relieve stress while being exposed to arts and humanities. One of the biggest concerns unearthed was that STEM students felt intimidated participating in arts activities that arts majors also participated in. They felt as though their skills could not compare to people who were enrolled in the fine arts programs, so they were hesitant to sign up for art classes or join creativity-based clubs. This guided our ideas towards solutions that encouraged failure and experimentation instead of talent. The second biggest concern was time: STEM degrees require a lot of intensive classes. Additionally, many students are involved in other STEM-related extracurriculars and don't have time to add on anything that isn't directly related to their major. We realized that effective solutions needed to be adaptive to different schedules and meet the needs of students who only have a spare half hour or so in their day.
		+
		+	'''Potential Tactics'''
		+
		+	1. Implementing an art or music playground for students to experiment with creative mediums
		+
		+	2. Redesigning the engineering curriculum to include more focus on arts and humanities
		+
		+	3. Design quick art challenges that encourage failure, not talent
