Team Leaders: University Innovation Fellows

== <span style="font-family: Arial; background-color: transparent; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Tactic #8: Design Thinking/Entrepreneurship Workshop Intensive~~~~ ==

~~~~At Bucknell University, there is a strong focus on interdisciplinary curriculum and the intersection of living, learning, and leadership. University professors understand that  personalized learning helps ensure each student develops a diverse set of skills and is successful in their career after college. But one lacking aspect of the curriculum is the ability to practice creativity without the fear of failure. Selem do professors give completely open ended projects with no rubric, objectives, or tasks. Most employers, however, cite creativity, communication skills, and adaptability as key traits they look for in new hires. Why is there such a disconnect between the skills taught in college and the skills required in industry?~~~~

<span style="font-family: Arial; background-color: transparent; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">One profession that offers tremendous inside into the interdisciplinary aspect of problem-solving is entrepreneurship, where individuals are forced to think inside multiple contexts, have strong financial management, product development, organizational supervision skills, in addition to an outstanding sense of customer desires. How might we create this environment of creative problem-solving while in an academic setting? ~~<div> </div>~~== Tactic 8: BucknellTV == Bucknell University is a campus filled with opportunity for students to get involved and grow as scholars. The problem our campus has is with the communication of advertising these unique opportunities. Bucknell students have proven to be dedicated leaders and innovators when they are involved, however, not enough students are pursuing these opportunities simply because they do not know they exist. Additionally, there is no unified platform to inform students about current local or national news.

= Strategy #3: Curricular Integration =

== Tactic #2: Mapping Student Support on Campus ==

~~~~Description: Currently, the support resources on campus are not identified on a single map. For example, our school website may list athletics offices, the counseling center, the Teaching and Learning Center, and other support offices on campus. However, there are still unofficial support resources that students use, such as sorority study groups, that are not officially published. Instead of surveying the students by sending them another email, this project would entail students engaging in a brief, interactive reflection, where students can put sticky notes on a poster informing us about what support resources they find helpful on campus.

== Tactic #3: Student Storage on Campus ==

Description: A current concern has been the lack of a central student space. Even though the dining spaces have been referred to as central common spaces, those are mainly for meals, which are essential but do not capture much of the student experience. Greek houses are a center for social life. There should be a unique space that is an alternative to Greek, is not a dining space, and is not an academic building that is a space for students to hold events or casually socialize with one another.

== Tatic #4A: Creating a Centralized Space For All Class Years ==

Description: Currently, the campus is divided between the first years and the upperclassmen due to geographical separation and no reasonable medium for upperclassmen and underclassmen to interact and work in a regular setting. This isolating characteristic of the campus inhibits people’s ability to interact with one another and to learn from the other class years. This also limits the ability for ideas, conversation, and debates to be spread throughout the campus. Since classes within majors like engineering and management do not have much mixture between age groups, many of the students do not have the opportunities to interact with different class years, and the classes that do offer some interaction between upper and underclassmen lack the ability to forge lasting connections between people.  So how do we create a space that can help mesh people from different class years?

== Tactic #5: E & I Mentorship ==

The transition from high school to college is a difficult one which many first-year students struggle with. By pairing incoming students with involved, inspiring upperclassman, these first-years will have a support system, a role model, and source of information about E&I opportunities all in one. This tactic aims to enhance the E&I community through a sense of belonging, as well as increase awareness about the variety of other E&I endeavors on campus.
