<div>= '''Overview<br/> - A Campus on the Move''' =</div><div><br/></div><div>UMass Lowell Innovation and Entrepreneurship Landscape Canvas is The University of Massachusetts Lowell is a top-tier research university with a full plate of opportunitiesofferings for innovation and entrepreneurship. The University of Massachusetts Lowell is growing at high rates, faculty and we administration are moving along these lines in order eager to achieve even better results than everconnect with the movement of promoting an innovative culture at the university level. Students Being a national research university, UMass Lowell has been evolving quite a bit in the past few years: new buildings have opportunities sprouted everywhere, classrooms are being upgraded to tackle support a culture of learning, and centers for innovation and entrepreneurship in perceived value aspects ("Student, are being built to involve as many students as possible in I&E is important. Make it a priority.")As well, potential value aspects ("So, you want programs and offerings have been refined over the years to adapt to learn more?")our changing society. UMass Lowell's entrepreneurial culture has been active since around 2011, applied value aspects ("You want to apply your knowledge to a specific projectwith the DifferenceMaker Program kicking off in 2012.")Since then, realized value aspects ("You a wealth of programs have effectively engaged in I&Ebeen started to connect students with more opportunities for entrepreneurship."), and reframing value aspects ("You have fine-tuned your understanding The university has taken many steps to work with the City of I&E Lowell and reframed your approach to your education local companies for the greater benefit and careereconomic development of the area."). Clemson University, like most innovative campuses, There are stronger many programs in some areas place that have given us a great head start, but there is more to come yet. Our strategic plan centers around the idea of I&E values Jump-Starting Awareness, where students acknowledge that the programs exist but aren’t necessarily aware of the other offerings in comparison place to othershelp the entrepreneurial process go as smoothly as possible.</div><div><br/></div><div>Clemson University's strengths lie in Our priorities are to introduce fun and engaging events to get students inspired toward an entrepreneurial venture. We want to show that the Technology Village we are building work can be extremely rewarding, even in the form of incubators and venture spaces on and associated with our campusfailure. Some We aim to do this through a variety of these include: Clemson University Bioengineering Innovation Campus (CUBEINCchannels.), Clemson University International Center for Automotive Research (CU-ICAR), NEXT = '''Fall 2015 Innovation Center, SCRA Duke Energy Innovation Center.

We currently have a Mentor Program, but for students needing a basic education in a certain area it is much too formal. Like the Executive Leadership and Entrepreneurship departmentwebsite LinkedIn, Engineering Senior Capstone Design Classes, or even only graduate students in we seek to have faculty list their skills on the MBA in Innovation and Entrepreneurship (MBAe) programschool website. What is needed is a course that brings together sophomore level These skills will have tags that can be searched for when students from all disciplines to introduce the concepts on innovation and entrepreneurship before it is too lateneed help with one. Many students do not encounter design or innovation until their senior design capstone engineering classesWhen a student has a positive learning experience, at which point, the students have already committed they can endorse professors for a particular skill. There will be no way to medical schools“downvote” any professors, law schools, graduate schools, or other careers so there are no safeguards needed to prevent corrupting that are not within I&Esystem. This course will be offered All that is needed for this program is to all colleges in hopes to bring together youngtalk with the website developers (who are currently working on a new site, innovative minds to shape so the I&E landscape at the starttiming could work out well) and see how it can be integrated. In addition, plans to partner aspiring business students with senior design engineering and science students will help stimulate venture growth of life science technologies.</div><div>*Team Leader: John DesJardins, PhD (current advisor and mentor to University = '''2013 Innovation Fellow, Breanne Przestrzelski), Peter Gianidos (graduate professor of MBA in Entrepreneurship and undergraduate professor in College of Business and Behavioral Science)</div><div>*Milestones:</div><div>**Curriculum Assessment- completed with undergraduate student services coordinators- January 2014</div><div>**Small Interest Meetings with faculty Fellows''' = == '''Enhance & Synergize the University I&E Ecosystem''' == === '''Inspire Club''' === Inspire Club seeks to introduce students to innovation and students of affected departments- March 2014</div><div>**Preparation of Audience- completed with help from Martine LaBerge (current Bioengineering Department Head)- May 2014</div><div>**Presentation entrepreneurship as well as connect them to Undergraduate Advisory Councilcampus and community resources such as ‘DifferenceMakers”, “M2D2”, “E For All”, Board etc. Weekly meetings will be held to expose students to an assortment of Trustees, enriching experiences from innovative business model development tools and rapid prototyping exercises to guest panels and University President- June 2014</div><div>**Curriculum Preparation- Fall 2014</div><div>**Faculty Search- Spring networking events.

Inspire will become an integral part of the student I&E. To address this gap, it is necessary to offer programs and outlets for pathway leading students from simple ideas to learn from those who have been in their shoes, current successful CEOs sustainable venture ready models. The skills learned will reflect the lean and iterative nature of small business the evolving economy and not only be valuable for start-upsbut also in a traditional corporate environment where forward thinking, collaboration, from professors whose passion is in teaching design and innovation to young captivating mindscreativity are rapidly being adopted. ==== This summer course will not be for credit.

However, keeping a successful alumni network close to the students for mentorship opportunities is one that should first come to mind. The Tiger Business Alliance will keep successful graduate entrepreneurs connected to the university. This program will allow for mentorship within the community from those who have the answers, understand where the young entrepreneurs are starting out, and will be there for them along their own journey towards I&E. It is crucial to execute this program with the right mindset. It is not a goal to raise x dollars for Clemson University. It is to foster a relationship between successful graduate entrepreneurs and aspiring entrepreneurs- all who have been and will forever be TIGERS.</div><div>*Team Leaders: John Warner (CEO of InnoVenture), David Orr, PhD, and Matthew Gaevert, PhD (co-founders of Kiyatec)</div><div>*Milestones:</div><div>**Reach out to current alumni- Fall 2013 through Spring 2014</div><div>**Explore the local, regional, and national entrepreneurial space for Clemson alumni- Fall 2013 through Spring 2014</div><div>**Formulate a list of interested alumni- Fall 2013 through Spring 2014</div><div>**Create a forum and central space for these alumni- Summer 2014</div><div>**Host webinar sessions on goals of the program- Summer 2014</div><div>**Re-evaluate interested alumni- Fall 2014</div><div>**Afford benefits and rewards to committed alumni- Fall 2014</div><div>**Generate awareness of program to current students- Spring 2015</div><div>**Marketing resources- Spring 2015</div><div>**Connect students with alumni- Fall 2015</div><div><br/></div><div>== Tactic #2: BioInnovation ==</div><div><br/></div><div>*Description: Already in place at Tulane University is a mentorship program for entrepreneurial minded scientists looking to take their research interests beyond the labspace or machine shop. This program is designed to capture the attention of undergraduates who possess that drive for I&E but are unsure how to attack it. To lead and mentor these students, PhD entrepreneurs (both aspiring and achieved) work with undergraduates to foster new innovators and entrepreneurs.</div><div>*Team Leader: TBD</div><div>*Milestones:</div><div>**Reach out to current graduate students- Fall 2013 through Spring 2014</div><div>**Formulate a list of interested graduate students- Fall 2013 through Spring 2014</div><div>**Create a forum and central space for these graduate students- Summer 2014</div><div>**Host webinar sessions on goals of the program- Summer 2014</div><div>**Re-evaluate interested graduate students- Fall 2014</div><div>**Afford benefits and rewards to committed graduate students- Fall 2014</div><div>**Generate awareness of program to current students- Spring 2015</div><div>**Marketing resources- Spring 2015</div><div>**Connect students with graduate students- Fall 2015</div><div><br/></div><div>== Tactic #3: Transformation of the Clemson University Office of Technology Transfer ==</div><div><br/></div><div>*Description: The purpose of a technology transfer office is to facilitate innovation from laboratory to commercialization. This is fostered by various techniques, a benchmark of which is still to be established. One tactic to raise the bar for technoogy transfer offices across the country is to establish a mentorship relationship between current I&E students and their university technology transfer office. This could be facilitated through work-shops, seminars, How-To sessions. All of these outlets generate learning experiences and shine a positive light on the technology transfer office, an entity who, if they facilitate technology development throughout all stages, will clearly be seen as facilitating innovation from laboratoty to commercialization.</div><div>*Team Leader: Sarah Helms (current BioE Master's candidate), Elizabeth Perpall, Chief Technology Transfer Officer, Clemson University Research Foundation (CURF)</div><div>*Milestones:</div><div>**Set goals with students (What would they like to see from their OTT?)- Fall 2013 through Spring 2014</div><div>**Set goals with OTT (What would they like to see from their students?)- Fall 2013 through Spring 2014</div><div>***Setting these goals with both parties sets expectations and responsibilities with each party</div><div>**Negotiate goals- Spring 2014</div><div>**Set Measurable Standards- Summer 2014</div><div>**Facilitate Student-OTT Interactions- Fall 2014</div><div>**Select and Prepare OTT speakers- Fall 2014</div><div>**OTT Seminars (re-curring event)- Fall 2014</div><div>**Prepare Work-Shop Attendance List- Winter 2014</div><div>**OTT Work-Shops (re-curring event)- Spring 2015</div><div>**Generate Awareness of How-To Sessions- Spring 2015</div><div>**Accept Applications- Spring 2015</div><div>**Verify Applications- Spring 2015</div><div>**Select Teams- Spring 2015</div><div>**OTT How-To Sessions (recurring event)- Spring 2015</div><div><br/></div><div>= Impact<br/> =</div><div><br/></div><div>{{#widget:Google Spreadsheet|key=0AgHBY23xvE2CdGJHandKM3FveURGZkotUWlLNlZKbXc|width=800|height=650}}</div><div><br/></div><div>{{#widget:Google Form|key=1m8dmj_mkPQEPpaX9Rd0fMeXLKpSTsDtJcQVk3MtxtrM|width=1400|height=1400}}</div><div><br/></div><div><br/></div><div><br/></div><div>= Related Links =</div><div><br/></div><div>[[Clemson University]]</div><div><br/></div><div>[[Breanne Przestrzelski]]</div><div><br/></div><div>[[Stephen_Kender Stephen Kender] [[Category:Student Priorities]][[Category:Student Priorities]][[Category:Student Priorities]][[Category:University_of_Massachusetts_Lowell]][[Category:Student Priorities|Student_Priorities]]</div>]]
