= STRATEGY #1: PROMOTING I&E IN ACADEMIA =
== Tactic #1: I&E Minor ==
Academia ranges from classes to independent research studies and extra instruction sessions to capstone projects. By incorporating different styles of learning through a varied class structure and system we will already be stimulating new brain cells and empowering students. Instead of having every class follow the same rigid lesson structure with daily class objectives, we can incorporate milestone classes or alternative methods. Essentially, by promoting diversity in the way classes are taught and run will open students’ minds to the world and its different possibilities. Additionally, our Leadership Circle is working on establishing an Innovation Minor at the Academy which would incorporate these elements into a set of classes and experiences.

= STRATEGY #2: PROMOTING A CULTURE OF CREATIVITY =
== Tactic #2: Outside Forces ==
Expose cadets, faculty, and staff to outside innovative and creative forces. By exposing the Academy to design workshops, creative thinking events, and inspirational speakers we will begin to bridge the understanding and application gap that exists in military environments. Seeing the innovative practices at work and going through that process will help to solidify people’s grasp on how to most effectively utilize these tools and how to go about implementing valuable solutions. Moreover, by partnering with non-military organizations, the Academy will be able to participate in some of the traditionally non-governmental spaces, allowing for a wider breadth of exposure and understanding. Overall: connect and see projects through.<br/>

Going along similar lines as above, cadets or students like to hear from an outside perspective. They want to hear from some of the most famous people and hear their story to fame. This brings credibility to innovation and gets people talking about "what could I accomplish?" Students get really excited to talk and listen to people they look up to. Again, it sparks students to dream big and gives them the push they need to actually take action.
