== Tactic #1: Annual University Wide "Demo Day" Ideation Workshops ==

*Description: &nbsp;Many different groups These workshops would either happen annually or once a semester. &nbsp;A good example of what these workshops would be like, and departments around campus have their own ways the first attempt at one of showcasing studentthese workshops on NC State's workcampus, is 3DS Springboard. &nbsp; howeverAgain, most of these showcases workshops are limited meant to appeal to any student, from any discipline, who is looking to people start a part project, movement, product, etc. The overarching goals of the individual group or a competition that restricts the amount of groups that get to show case their work. &nbsp;This annual demo day them would be an opportunity for all students with varying kinds of projects (from musical performances and paintings to apps spark ideas and robots) to show their hard work and appreciate the work create relationships between students of students from other backgrounds. There would be no competition aspect to this event as different majors, while the more specific goal of it the workshops is to encourage and applaud all teach students' work entrepreneurial and create interdisciplinary relationships/connectionscreativity skills.&nbsp;

*Description: Food is a least common denominator for people's needs and is something that most college students gravitate towards. &nbsp;The goal of these dinners would be to bring a variety of students together by making it appeal to people with different interests. &nbsp;Unlike most meetings, these dinners would not have a specific topic or be targeted towards a certain group of students. &nbsp;While they would take place in the Entrepreneur's Village, they wouldn't have a focus on entrepreneurship , but rather innovation, creation, and making an impact. &nbsp;In order to facilitate inspiring conversation, certain creativitycreative/entrepreneurial/design/etc. thinking activities would take place. &nbsp;The activity that takes place would be determined by the group of students that attend each dinner so that it is most relevant for to what they are looking to get out of the dinner.

= Strategy #2: Creating an Impact that Lasts<br/> =

Following are an array of strategies that will fully address Gap == Tactic #2 over a 2-3 year period1:Student Accelerator/Bridge Program ==

== Tactic #1*Description: Student AcceleratorThere are some opportunities for students to form and build entreprenuerial ventures, but a majority of students working on ventures are upperclassmen that are close to graduating. &nbsp;Once someone has graduated from NC State, they no longer have access to the support and resources provided by the university which makes it much more difficult to continue on with their ventures. &nbsp;Initially, building strong partnerships in the local area will help provide students with support. &nbsp;Key partnerships could be formed/Bridge Program ==improved with Thinkhouse Raleigh, HQ, Groundworks Labs, and Triangle Startup Factory. &nbsp; Eventually, some sort of accelerator that partnered specifically with NC State would be most effective in giving the support students need.
