== Entrepreneurial Hub  ==
*'''Intro:''' Right now, there is no school of entrepreneurship or space for entrepreneurial students to meet up, host clubs, or host events. While there is a business school, only students who are in the business school are allowed to use the space. This is exclusive, and limiting, and excludes many students who possess entrepreneurial spirit yet who are in different majors. We believe that education, especially entrepreneurial education should be inclusive, not exclusive. This is why we believe that a hub, even if it just an events hall, is critical to the success of spreading entrepreneurship on campus. *'''Team Leader:''' Amelia
*'''Milestones:'''

== '''The BIG Picture Mass Music Movement''' ==
·&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;'''Intro:''' Mass Music will be an organization that supports and manages young artists, as well as creates a place on campus for students interested in the music industry to expand their network and learn important lessons about the business. The reason why this organization is necessary is because it will give students the opportunity to have real world experience while also giving them the opportunity to network and make connections within UMass, as well as outside the University.&nbsp; ·&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;'''Team Leaders: '''Steven Bowe, Shamus Hill, Jerry Alonzo, Ikenna Ugwu ·&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; '''Goals: '''Our events will include guest speakers from record companies, radio stations, and other various businesses related to the music industry, as well as concerts and festivals to not only give student artists & musicians a place to perform, but will also give students the opportunity to learn about booking shows and event coordination. &nbsp;We will work closely with the campus radio station, WMUA to train DJ's and expand the growing level of interest in the field of music. There are courses available that our members will be aware of and advised upon depending on their future goals and aspirations in the music industry. This group is open to all majors and backgrounds. ·&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;'''&nbsp; Milestones:''' After some initial marketing and campaigning to determine the level of interest at UMass, the Team Leaders have been making strides towards establishing the organization before the end of the Fall 2016 Semester.&nbsp; '''· &nbsp; &nbsp;Collaborations:''' Mass Music will work with the UIF to promote student engagement and cross college collaborations. There are many different sub-fields in the music industry and the opportunity for young entrepreneurs to create their own innovations is something that we hope students can find at UMass through the UIF & Mass Music programs.   == Related Links<br/> == Our University page: [http://universityinnovation.org/wiki/University_of_Massachusetts_Amherst http://universityinnovation.org/wiki/University_of_Massachusetts_Amherst] Our video: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mFK0g6jSRPE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mFK0g6jSRPE] Our Student Priorities page:&nbsp;[http://universityinnovation.org/wiki/University_of_Massachusetts_Amherst_Student_Priorities http://universityinnovation.org/wiki/University_of_Massachusetts_Amherst_Student_Priorities] <br/>Fall 2016 Fellows [[Steven Bowe]] Ashley Olafsen Amelia Vega Davis McVay
