</ol>

<li>Plan: Introduce COE students and resources to existing events and programs in CEI. Rather than “inventing the wheel” in 2 different colleges/departments, collaborate to have cross-functional workings between students and faculty.<ul style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;">

<li>Introduce Fellow Daniel Kleinman’s idea “UFund” Crowdfunding Platform to further motivate cross-functional collaboration between COE and CEI.</li>

<li>Once collaboration between COE and CEI in place, begin to invite Levin College of Law and College of Health and Sciences, respectively to grow cross-functional workings in existing programs.</li>

<li>Later semester: Complete business model for COE & CEI collaboration. Market existing CEI events to engineering students. Recruit potential Fellows to join UF’s Leadership Circle</li>

</ol></li>

<li>Early Semester: Organize and further develop collaboration of E&I existing programs. Utilize UFund program to incentivize this collaboration.</li>

<li>Later Semester: Have cross-functional teams and organizations utilize UFund to fund start-ups and organizational E&I programs.</li>
