Tactic #1== <span style="font-size: Design thinking pop up classes.&nbsplarger;">'''Strategy 2: Increasing First Year Student Retention'''</span> ==
Pop<span style="font-Up series classes offered across majors and disciplines led by UIF members to teach design thinking concepts to both student and faculty with the ultimate goal of having design thinking concepts integrated across campus. This would boulster the campus innovation and entrepreneurial mindsight while simultaneously allowing a new approach to education that is both exciting and useful in industry positions.&nbspsize:small;">'''Project Lead: Mohamed Moustafa'''</span>
'''Project Lead<span style="font-size: Kevin Kraussmall;">One of the main problems facing first-year students is uncertainty choosing a field of study or a major to pursue, this applies directly to undecided students but also impacts a great population of freshman students who are decided yet dubious. Through our journey as UIF candidates, we had the opportunity to interview freshman students and we found that they are mostly unaware of the wide range of university major offerings. Making students more aware of majors available and career opportunities in each field can make them more likely to commit to finishing their degree and counteract 'first-year drop off'. Another very useful strategy for freshman retention that we uncovered through our discussion with several faculty and staff leaders is student-faculty engagement outside of class. Increasing this engagement helps create a home-away-from-home feeling for students which increases their attachment to the university and improves their academic performance, hence increasing retention. Following these discoveries, we developed two initiatives that focus on increasing student-faculty collisions and students'awareness of university offerings.</span>

One of the main problems facing first year students <span style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; white-space: pre-wrap;">Student pride and campus community is uncertainty choosing a field low in comparison to other universities of study or a major our caliber. In addition to pursue, this applies directly networking and finding new people to meet (which is becoming increasingly important to undecided students but also impacts a great population of freshman younger generations) is another challenge students who are decided yet dubioushaving. Through our journey as UIF candidates we had the opportunity By creating a lawn party that is offered to interview freshman students for free and non students for a ticketing price we found that they are mostly unaware of the wide range of university major offerings. Making students more aware of majors available and career opportunities can bring in each field can make them more likely to commit celebrities to finishing their degree and counteract 'first year drop off'. Another very useful startegy perform for freshman retention that we uncovered through our discussion with several faculty students and staff leaders is student-faculty engagement outside of classthe community while offering additional value to our partner companies on campus by strategically placing the event in locations that would increase their foot traffic. Increasing By throwing this engagement helps create a home-away-from-home feeling for students which increases their attachment to event it kicks off the university semester and improves their academic performance, hence increasing retention. Following these discoveries, we developed two intiatives that focus on increasing student-faculty creates natural collisions for students and students' awareness of university offeringsbusinesses.&nbsp;</span><div><br/></div>

[IN]nnovation is an initiative focused on potential new students and giving them a taste of what WSU is really about. During their campus visit, students will receive a 1in by 1in plastic square. On that square, they are asked to write their biggest hope for college on one side, and their biggest fear on the other. After their visit, the “token” is collected and stored until the beginning of the semester. Students who are admitted and enrolled at WSU will have their “token” given to a student artist who will be charged with the responsibility of creating a work of art showcasing the hopes of all of the tokens combined. The fears will be to the inside of the work, with the idea in mind that as one part of a greater whole, the students can overcome any adversity and accomplish their biggest hopes and dreams.</span></span></span>

<span style="font-size: small;">The idea for Innovation Station stems from a crossover of our WUIFx program that is run through Collegiate High School and was inspired by our Innovation In Action workshop, which engaged high school seniors in design thinking. By engaging in both programs, we found it crucial to help provide students across disciplines, social classes, and locations necessary tools to actively engage in design thinking and various innovative processes, regardless of their backgrounds. The purpose of Innovation Station is to provide knowledge to students in schools that do not receive proper funding for engagement in both design thinking and STEAM. Ideally, we would like to venture to various schools throughout Kansas, especially smaller, and more rural schools. We would like to give the students a greater worldview, to engage in problem-solving skills, and to empower them to make a change. This model will be properly prototyped at St. Anne's Catholics School's STEM Club and will feature a short introduction to design thinking, what UIF is, and then followed by a short design challenge.

In Augusta Public Schools (elementary, middle, and high school), we will be prototyping short STEAM workshops that can be taught in 30 minutes-1 hour, that tie into what the students and teachers are already doing with their classrooms. '''Watch Sierra's Ignite about "Let's Go Full STEAM Ahead!":''' [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QNOGSDYBEKI&feature=youtu.be&fbclid=IwAR0rXUybj_13q7XCZjNt7mN_PjgXVzaWiwjUOtpa6gdtua2WYpUnq-sR5fA "Let's Go Full STEAM Ahead: Addressing Gender Disparity" an ignite presentation at the 2019 ASEE Midwest Regional Conference] == '''<span style="font-size:larger;">Strategy 14: Encouraging Students to Utilize Campus Resources</span>''' == === '''<span style="font-size:medium;">Tactic #1: Shocker Study Spaces</span>''' === '''<span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-size:small;">Project Lead: Maggie Brown</span></span>''' <span style="font-size: small;">When interviewing students for session two, many of them made comments about only knowing to go to the Rhatigan Student Center, or RSC, when they have extra time but don't want to leave campus. There was also mention of not liking the RSC due to how loud and noisy it is. There are many places to go on campus that could be used by students as study spaces, but many students don't know where these places are located and don't want to seek them out. The purpose of Shocker Study Spaces is to make these locations known. The plan, as of now, is to get permission to mark the directories of buildings with stickers showing where these areas are, to put a vinyl wall decal that says "Shocker Study Space" in the locations, and to create maps of the buildings with the spaces marked. To start putting this plan into action, we will have to figure out with department, or department(s), we will need to work with to get permission to mark walls/directories, create the stickers, and the logo to go on the stickers. There is not yet a set date for this to be prototyped because there are still conversations that need to happen.</span> === '''<span style="font-size:medium;">Tactic #2: Shocker Scooter</span>'''<br/> === === <span style="font-size:small;">'''Project Lead: Noah Foster'''</span> === When reflecting on our mobilization, parking is an issue when it comes to campus, as such, we were thinking of numerous ideas to help solve this problem. Approximately 85-90% of students are living off campus. To help diminish this problem, we could implement scooter stations around campus that would be able to be checked out, like a program that the city of Denver has. We chose scooters because of the ease with which it takes to use one, and because of the small amount of space, they take up, compared to a bike taking up an entire sidewalk. Along with these, there would be stations scattered throughout the whole campus, which would allow students, staff, and faculty to check out the scooter through our Shocker Cards (ID's). The scooters would be electric and charged in the stations, so they would be able to tell you which has the most battery life. Also, with the scooters, we would map out Wichita State's campus so that the entire campus would be on it, and a route would be able to generate the path that is fastest from station to station, similar to a GPS system. Overall, this intends to help students for parking and mobility, and if they park far away, they can reach their classes quicker and get to their intended destination faster and with ease. == <span style="font-size:larger;">'''Strategy 15: Assisting First Year Students in Learning Wichita State's Campus'''</span> == === '''Tactic #1: ICT Tour'''<br/> === '''Project Lead: Mikah Betterton''' <span style="font-size:small;">ICT Tour</span><span style="font-size:small;">is for </span><span style="font-size:small;">first-year students who are not from Wichita and want to explore more of their college town. ICT Tour will take the students around Wichita's local restaurants and shops, who would then punch a hole in their card. Once, they fill up their card and take it to the Office of First Year Programs they will be awarded a gift. This will help drive first-year students to become more active in their community and help the local businesses get more customers at their stores.&nbsp; There will be a list of recommended local restaurants and shops that are part of the program based on vendors that are interested, and willing to participate. This is loosely based on Kansas State University's tour of Aggieville, and could even feature WSU's "ShockStops" which give students discounts at participating businesses.</span> == <span style="font-size:larger;">'''Strategy 16: How to Increase Interdisciplinary Connections Across Campus'''</span><br/> == === '''<span style="font-size:medium;">Tactic #1: WUIFx Goes Greek!</span>'''<br/> === '''<span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-size:small;">Project Lead: RJ Clark</span></span>''' WUIFx Goes Greek draws its inspiration from WSU's very cohesive Greek community. This community is comprised of 13 different fraternities and sororities, each of which would contribute members to participate in this 48-hour design competition. The competitors would compete to solve a pre-determined problem, and then present their solution in the form of a 90-second video, an 8-minute presentation, as well as defend their position in front of a panel of judges. Throughout the competition, UIF and faculty/staff will provide materials, resources, information, and assistance as necessary. Overall, this would not only improve the interdisciplinary connections that WSU already has but also create connections across the different chapters of Greek life. This program would ideally start next fall, as the timing would be ideal to also incorporate Greek recruitment and events into the schedule, as well as serve as a "back to school" event to improve student participation on Wichita State's Campus.   <parsererror style="display: block; white-space: pre; border: 2px solid #c77; padding: 0 1em 0 1em; margin: 1em; background-color: #fdd; color: black">=== This page contains the following errors: ===<div style="font-family:monospace;font-size:12px">error on line 1 at column 4189: attributes construct error </div>=== Below is a rendering of the page up to the first error. ===</parsererror>== '''<span style="font-size: larger;">Strategy 17: Creating More of a Community for International Students</span>''' == === '''<span style="font-size: medium;">Tactic #1: Carshare&nbsp;</span>''' === '''''''''<span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: small;">Project Lead: Jacob Burns</span></span>''''' <span style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; white-space: pre-wrap;">The idea in mind is that international students don’t always have ways to get around town or go where they need to go. There have been complaints about the bus not going to walmart often enough or at a convenient time for everybody. If we had WSU students sign up to volunteer a couple hours to take international students places like Walmart or Walgreens or anywhere else they may need to go, it would not only allow them to obtain their essentials for living, but it could also help international students make a connection with other students on campus.</span> == '''<span style="font-size: larger;">Strategy 18: Innovation Living Learning Community- Creating Community for First-year students and gaining experiences in entrepreneurship and innovation in our community and campus</span>'''&nbsp; '''<span style="font-size: medium;">Tactic #1: Innovation LLC</span>''' '''<span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: small;">Project Lead: Savannah Redfern</span></span>''' <span style="background-color: transparent; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">An Innovation Living Learning Community would provide first-year students with opportunities to gain experience in </span><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">design-thinking and innovation.

This will be a hands-on class where students not only learn about the design-thinking process and the resources on campus, but also about issues in our community and campus. There will be guest speakers of changemakers in our community and our campus. Students will learn how to be changemakers in our community as well as what needs to be changed.&nbsp;</span></span> <span id="docs-internal-guid-ce81d5aa-7fff-3e1d-4128-99d326bff553"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">In the second semester, students will work in teams to develop and cultivate unique ideas and concepts. During this semester, they will develop these ideas into a successful event, product, club or program for Wichita State or the Wichita community. They will collaborate together and keep each other and the RA and professor updated on their progress. Finally, students will have the opportunity to showcase their efforts in a semester-ending competition with the other teams within Innovation LLC.</span></span> == '''<span style="font-size: larger;">Strategy 18: Early look into Innovation, outreach, and marketing of Innovation Resources</span>''' == === '''<span style="font-size:medium;">Tactic #1: WuShock Tank</span>''' === '''<span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-size:small;">Project Lead: Angelique Banh & Corbin Prichard</span></span>''' WuShock Tank is an annual Innovation competition aimed towards new students or those with budding interests in innovation and entrepreneurship. Being aimed at beginners helps students foster and grow their love for innovation without the pressure or stress of a conventional competition. As well, this would allow students studying majors not typically associated with innovation or entrepreneurship develop their skills and confidence early on in their school career. === '''<span style="font-size:medium;">Tactic #2: Innovate @ Wichita State!</span>''' === '''<span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-size:small;">Project Lead: Alexander King</span></span>''' Innovate @ Wichita State! is a video series that serves as marketing for the existing innovation resources here on Wichita State's campus. Providing location, information, and an interview with a member of the resource would help spread the word and increase students' use of the existing resources. This is a weekly/biweekly series that employs video production majors or marketing majors to help develop their skills with a tangible marketing campaign to ensure the effective use of WSU's innovative resources at students' disposal. === '''<span style="font-size:medium;">Tactic #3: LAS Connected</span>''' === '''<span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-size:small;">Project Lead: Jadie Chauncey</span></span>''' LAS Connected is a once a month seminar to help connect Liberal Arts students on the Wichita State Campus and encourage innovation within their disciplines. As well, it serves as a way to connect students with each other and form lasting friendships and partnerships to carry them through their careers.<div></div>
