A true entrepreneur when confronted with a problem will instead see a potential opportunity to innovate. Beloit College provides a perfect environment for aspiring entrepreneurs to develop their skills. Being a liberal arts college Beloit College’s main goal is to produce well-rounded individuals, who have the tools necessary to critically look at an idea and improve on it. Both the schools administration and faculty have hole heartedly embraced the idea of entrepreneurship being a vital part of a modern day liberal arts education. It has begun to be implemented in every department on the campus in one-way or another.

Tom Porkka porkkat@beloit.edu Contact: porkkat@beloit.edu  = Strategy #1: Inspire<br/> = The first goal is to generate awareness, importance and fundamental elements of I&E to students. == <span style="font-size:large;">Tactic #1: Monthly CELEB Speaker Series</span> == *Create a consistent monthly speaker event held at&nbsp;&nbsp;CELEB. These talks would really h<span data-scaytid="15" data-scayt_word="elp">elp</span>&nbsp;bring students and faculty down to the entrepreneurship center. They would also provide inspiration for aspiring entrepreneurs and help build an entrepreneurial community.&nbsp;*<span data-scaytid="6" data-scayt_word="Ellery ">Ellery</span> <span data-scaytid="7" data-scayt_word="Addington-White">Addington-White</span>*Milestones: [A set of bullets that characterize the work that would likely need to be executed, along with mm/<span data-scaytid="4" data-scayt_word="yy">yy</span>] == Tactic #2: Bi-Monthly <span data-scaytid="11" data-scayt_word="Hack-A-Thons">Hack-A-Thons</span> == *By having these consistent events where students are challenged to create a business venture in a short amount of time it will hopefully generate the creation of many more start-up. It will also help with promoting CELEB and growing our community.&nbsp;*<span data-scaytid="9" data-scayt_word="Ellery">Ellery</span> <span data-scaytid="10" data-scayt_word="Addington-White">Addington-White</span>*Milestones: [A set of bullets that characterize the work that would likely need to be executed, along with mm/<span data-scaytid="14" data-scayt_word="yy">yy</span>] == Tactic #3: Student Lead Trips == *Lead more trips to Maker spaces in Madison, Milwaukee, Whitewater, and Chicago.&nbsp;*Encourage students to be creative and proactive outside of their studies.&nbsp;*Show students that there are convenient, creative, and inviting places to create nearby. == Tactic #4: Student Led Entrepreneurial Discussions == *Weekly meetings to have students teach a subject they are passionate about to other students, who many not know a whole lot about it.&nbsp;*Give people the experience of preparing a lesson and public speaking.&nbsp;*Allow students to learn about a subject they otherwise would not have learned about.&nbsp; = Strategy #2: Create<br/>addingtonwhiteem@beloit= Theses strategies are for students that realize I&E is important and want to get involved in deeper way. == Tactic #1: Senior & Junior Entrepreneurial Tour Class == *The objective of creating this class would be to help students who are nearing graduation a chance to become more familiar with the local and regional entrepreneurial&nbsp;landscape. My vision for this class would be having many successful entrepreneurs&nbsp;come in and talk about their start-ups and also have students go on field trips to the surrounding city's. Also maybe have it run in conjunction with some local business incubators.*Offering credit for valuable off campus experiences would provide students an incentive to talk with people outside their comfortable circle about different ideas.&nbsp; == Tactic #2: Computer Hardware Club == *Create a club that creates a community of students furthering their knowledge in products that help with innovation. My vision for this club is to have members primarily learning how to work with ARM processors. ARM processor are extremely low power and are extremely useful for any project that could benefit&nbsp;a developing country.*<span data-scaytid="4" data-scayt_word="Ellery">Ellery</span> <span data-scaytid="5" data-scayt_word="Addington-White">Addington-White</span> == Tactic #3: Engineering Club == *Since Beloit College does not have an actual engineering major but does have students that are interested in engineering this club would be extremely useful for creating a community&nbsp;of engineers. It would allow students who are interested in engineering to collaborate on projects together and build a sense of community.&nbsp;*Resources like the machine shop are underutilized and could be valuable resources for students to learn by making things they are passionate about.edu&nbsp; == Tactic #4: Start-Up of The Year Award ==
== Strategy #1: ________<br/> ==*Create an award for students who do have a successful&nbsp;start-up. This would not only help a start-up develop but also give students something to work towards and encourage healthy competition.&nbsp;*Given to the student who emobodies an entrepreneurial mindset and learns the most by working on a venture.&nbsp;
