Philadelphia, Pennsylvania is one of the most dense university regions in the United States. As a lasallian school, we understand the values of innovation and entrepreneurship. As students, we believe that the values of innovation and entrepreneurship should flow consistently, regardless of your major. La Salle believes that in today’s competitive economic environment, people with entrepreneurial spirits will not only succeed in their chosen careers but also will drive business creation, growth, and job opportunities for the larger business community.</span></span></span></span>

= Strategy 1: Establishing Innovation & Entrepreneurship Across the Curriculum<br/> =
== Tactic Step 1: Adding More Innovational & Entrepreneurial Courses into the Current Curriculum ==
<span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:times new roman,times,serif;"><span id="docs-internal-guid-7932ca1c-5cd5-79fe-57bd-851903dac034"><span style="background-color: transparent; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Students from the School of Business, Arts & Sciences and Nursing should be exposed to more courses that integrate the concept of innovation and entrepreneurship. Innovation applies not only to business students but to all. The real challenge is trying to merge the students academic focus into the concept of innovation and entrepreneurship. Students working towards a degree in business or science understand the importance of innovation and entrepreneurship. What about a student working towards a degree in nursing? What about a student working towards a degree in communication? As innovation fellow candidates, we want to tackle this question head on.</span></span></span></span>
<span style== Tactic 2"white-space: pre-wrap; font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: medium; background-color: Courses on Design Thinking transparent; ==">The plan of attack to tackle this issue is currently being investigated in the form of creating more courses that are interdisciplinary in their nature. A current example of this type of course being implemented at La Salle would be Life Science Innovation. This class is open to students of all majors, and currently contains students from The School of Business, The School of Arts and Sciences, as well as The School of Nursing.</span>
<span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:times new roman,times,serif;"><span id="docs-internal-guid-7932ca1c-5cd5-79fe-57bd-851903dac034"><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">This course should be required by all students and provide an experience that encourages collaboration and design thinking concepts. Students will find benefit in the course, regardless of his or her major.</span></span></span></span> == Tactic Step 3: Seeking Faculty & Administration Support (Strategic Planning) <br/> ==
<span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); white-space: pre-wrap; background-color: transparent; font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;">As students who seek the drive to push for innovation entrepreneurship on campus, we understand the need for support from faculty and administrators. As future fellows, we understand that in order for successful implementation of our tactics, administrators need to see our vision. Therefore, we will soon embark on a unique strategic five year plan that we as fellows will propose to faculty and administrators. This plan will not only include our vision in regards to innovation & entrepreneurship on campus, but also tactics that we think will harness a culture of sustainable creativity.</span></span>
= Strategy 2= Step 4: Establishing Long-Term Communication Paths between Engineering Creating an Innovation and Business <br/> Entrepreneurial Scholars Program ==
<span style="font-size:medium;"><span style= Tactic 1"font-family: Promoting On Campus Help from times new roman,times,serif;">Our goal is to create a co-curricular program that will hopefully have curricular aspects in the School long run, but this program will be focused on inciting an interdisciplinary learning and understanding of Arts innovation and entrepreneurship. The Innovation and Entrepreneurial (I& Sciences ==E) Scholars Program will be open to students across all disciplines and backgrounds and teach them how innovation and entrepreneurship can not only be applied to their majors and interests, but also connect them to other students, fields of study, and perspectives. This program will have a year long learning process, and year long hands on project, and an opportunity for continued growth in the field of innovation and entrepreneurship. </span></span>
= Strategy 2: Establishing Long-Term Relationship Between Engineering Programs at Neighboring Universities through the University Innovation Fellows at each University.<span stylebr/> = =="font-sizeTactic 1:mediumPromoting Connections Between Universities "><span id="docs-internal-guid-7932ca1c-5cd5-79fe-57bd-851903dac034">= <span stylefont face="font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; background-color: transparent; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Direct Emails of Professors (whose interests are what interests you) are posted on the school website for easy access)</span><span stylesize="background-color: transparent; vertical-align: baseline;3">. </span></span><span style="white-space: pre-wrap; background-color: transparent; font-family: 'times new roman'">Reaching out to neighboring universities with Engineering programs to attend events such as Open Minds, timesHackathons, serif;">Therefore making it easier for students who have ideas and Innovation Challenges to establish connections with La Salle University to just contact those professors or faculty that have more information about that student’s inquiry assist the school in expanding our Innovation and could further expand on that idea of there’sEntrepreneurship environment.</span></spanfont>
== Tactic 2: Creating Networking Groups <br/> ==
== Tactic 1: Creating Organizations that Promote Innovative Thinking ==
<span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:times new roman,times,serif;"><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); white-space: pre-wrap;">Creating student organizations that not only teach and inspire innovation but give students the chance to take the wheel with projects that will give them hands -on experience dealing with real life problems and allow them to solve them. (This includes: creating small business ideas and taking the steps to create them, and identifying problems within the world and creating think tanks to attempt to solve them)</span></span></span>
== Tactic 2: Competitions that Provide Incentives for Creative Idea Making ; Organizations that Promote Innovative Thinking ==
<span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:times new roman,times,serif;"><span id="docs-internal-guid-7932ca1c-5ce3-b51c-e5f6-552085723879"><span style="vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Challenges built to have students compete with each other for prizes based on varying concepts from which they will develop ideas and attempt to create them and promote them. La Salle University currently holds an Open Minds Competition annually, as well as regular Innovation Challenges. The main focus would be to increase participation among the students in all majors and acquire additional faculty participation as well as an increased amount of monetary support.</span></span></span></span>
== Tactic 3: Changing Curriculum and Course Material ==
<span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:times new roman,times,serif;"><span id="docs-internal-guid-7932ca1c-5ce3-b51c-e5f6-552085723879"><span style="vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Changing some of the course material in class to help promote innovation is key. Obtaining To accomplish this, faculty that are interested in Innovation and Entrepreneurship needs to be exposed to the aid concept of teachers Design Thinking so they can implement course material that will utilize this method of problem-solving. In addition, faculty should encourage students to help add some innovative style learning use the Makers Space that was built in the library, and should anticipate using the Innovation Lab in the new Buisness School building. Through the use of these spaces, students will organically acquire a desire to everyday classes regardless of what continue using skills such as Design Thinking in the future, in turn making the course isstudent body more interested and curious in innovation.</span></span></span></span> = Related Links = [[La Salle University]] [http://universityinnovation.org/wiki/La_Salle_University_Student_Priorities La Salle Student Priorities] University Innovation Fellows Spring 2018: [[Kathiana Cajuste|Kathiana Cajuste]] [[Roger_Malerba|Roger Malerba]] Spring 2017: [http://universityinnovation.org/wiki/Luis_F._Almonte Luis Almonte] [http://universityinnovation.org/wiki/Nicholas_Dingler Nicholas Dingler] [http://universityinnovation.org/wiki/Isaac_Prentice Isaac Prentice] Spring 2016: [[Terry Li]] [[Joanna Szyszkiewicz]] Spring 2015: [[Kenneth Brewer]] [[Trans Lualhati]] [[Onesimus Morrison]]
