= UNIVERSITY INNOVATION FELLOWS 2020 - 2021  =

= PRIORITY 1: DEVELOPMENT OF OHIO STATE ALUMNI STARTUP SPOTLIGHT =

Columbus has become home to a vibrant community of innovation and entrepreneurship, and we want to highlight the past OSU students who have gone on to start ventures so that current students can learn from their experience.;

<li>Fellows Involved: Kaylee Chang, Angela Heaney, Tinia Larkins, and Mick Rash </li>

</ul>

=== Milestone 1: Conduct Stakeholder Meeting - November, 2020 ===

<li>Description: During the month of November, our cohort will facilitate a meeting to meet the stakeholders on campus and begin to foster a relationship.</li>

</ul>

=== Milestone 2: Gauge Initial Student Interest ===

<li>Description: Create and distribute a survey for the alumni and student body to determine how many startups and students can and will attend. </li>

</ul>

=== Milestone 3: Develop and Organize Event Specifics  ===

<li>Description:The next responsibility will be to make sure that an event can be properly organized and put on through the auspices of UIF. </li>

</ul>

=== Milestone 4:Create a system of connection among participants. ===

<li>Description:After this event, it is of the utmost importance to create a network of participants who can continue their growth and knowledge in the startup space. </li>

</ul>

= PRIORITY 2: CREATION AND DISSEMINATION OF A NEWSLETTER OF INNOVATION AND ENTREPRENEURSHIP =

At a university as large as Ohio State, it is paramount that students be able to connect with the resources that they can take advantage of most effectively. As such, it is vital that we create a newsletter through the Keenan Center for Entrepreneurship to inform students interested in the resources of the I&E space at Ohio State.;

<li>Fellows Involved: Kaylee Chang, Angela Heaney, Tinia Larkins, and Mick Rash </li>

</ul>

=== Milestone 1: Direct Student Body Interest in I&E to the Keenan Center ===

<li>Description: It is vital for a newsletter from the Keenan Center to be created that we demonstrate need among the student body for resources from the Keenan Center.</li>

</ul>

=== Milestone 2: Create a signup for monthly newsletters ===

<li>Description: With the connection between those who are interested in the startup space and the Keenan Center, the ability for individuals to sign-up for the newsletter from the Keenan Center will be complete. </li>

</ul>

= PRIORITY 3: IMPROVING STUDENT ORGANIZATION CONNECTION =

Throughout your four years at OSU, with such a large student body, you may graduate without knowing more than a small percentage of what activities and opportunities within organizations were available to you. While this is an inevitable part of a campus of more than 50,000 students, there needs to be an easier way to navigate. That is why our cohort believes that a new restructuring of how student organizations and activities presented on the OSU app and website needs to be better organized and broken down, so that aspiring students can easily find the right organization and home for them.;

<li>Fellows Involved: Kaylee Chang, Angela Heaney, Tinia Larkins, and Mick Rash </li>

</ul>

=== Milestone 1: Categorize Organizations Based on Interest ===

<li>Description: By breaking down organizations into categories, students can easily navigate in a way tailored to their personal and specific interests. This can be approached in the same manner in which the student involvement fair is structured, including broad categories such as sports, environmental, business, and so on.</li>

</ul>

=== Milestone 2: Specify Time/Overall Commitment ===

<li>Description: After breaking down by category, we want to give more comprehensive information for each organization. And as we know that organizations vary in time constraints, meetings, and projects, with some simply having optional meetings, and others having constant projects and deliverables, we want students to know what they’re getting themselves into. Also, this avoids the hassle of sending out multiple emails to understand what you signed up for.

</li>

</ul>

=== Milestone 3: Make it Public  ===

<li>Description:Once this restructuring is complete, we want this to be accessible on the OSU app and main website for easy student access. This way, not only can new freshmen feel comfortable looking through what they might be interested in, any college student can be easily equipped to get involved with a new organization without hassle. </li>

</ul>

= UNIVERSITY INNOVATION FELLOWS 2019 - 2020  =

= PRIORITY 1: DEVELOPMENT OF UNIVERSITY BOARD FOR INNOVATION & ENTREPRENEURSHIP =

After 3 years of the UIF program at The Ohio State University, we have noticed that our university is lacking an owner for the I&E landscape. As the university becomes more siloed with the growth of its individual colleges, I&E projects continue to be held in the dark due to the lack of communication. The University Innovation Fellows have decided that it will be our continuous priority to own the state of the I&E landscape by creating board

<li>Fellows Involved: Andrew Benisek, Lauren Saggar, Kai McKinney, Jen Schlegel </li>

</ul>

=== Milestone 1: Conduct Stakeholder Meeting - November, 2018 ===

<li>Description: During the month of November, our leadership circle shall facilitate a stakeholder meeting with key faculty and administrative personal. The goal of this meeting is to introduce our various ideas as well as establish a fundamental relationship between the student body and faculty moving forward.</li>

</ul>

=== Milestone 2: Invite Faculty to be on the I&E Board - December, 2019 ===

<li>Description: After the stakeholder meeting, we want to form a board of faculty advisors from across the various areas of campus to provide a consistent pulse on the I&E developments in their particular department. Getting together the UIF faculty board will not only assist in with the longevity of the UIF program but will help us have the connections across the university required to push new initiatives. </li>

</ul>

=== Milestone 3: Hold 1st Faculty Board Working Session  ===

<li>Description:After the board has been set, the UIF program will attempt to host working sessions every semester to help align the groups priorities, create sub-working groups, and get a pulse of changes that have occurred to the campus landscape. </li>

</ul>

=== Milestone 4: Industry Invitations to the Board - April, 2020 ===

<li>Description:After multiple semesters in operation, the UIF I&E board would hope to add members of industry onto the board. Industry members will help guide the board in with perspective from outside the university and would ideally help to source resources outside of the reach of students and faculty. </li>

</ul>

= PRIORITY 2: RE-ESTABLISHMENT OF THE STUDENT INNOVATION & ENTREPRENEURSHIP COUNCIL  =

<span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Last year, the UIF team helped to create the Student Innovation and Entrepreneurship Council at The Ohio State University. The council was focused on bringing student leaders in the I&E space together from around campus to discuss what they are doing and encourage open collaboration between organizations. The general idea was that together, we could increase access to entrepreneurship and innovation at Ohio State.

<li>Fellows Involved: Andrew Benisek, Lauren Saggar, Kai McKinney, Jen Schlegel </li>

</ul>

=== Milestone 1: Send invitations to be a member of SIEC - Dec 2019 ===

<li>Description: SIEC meetings have been discontinued for over a semester. UIF will need to re-invite organizations to continue the conversation. </li>

</ul>

=== Milestone 2: Hold First Meeting - Jan 2020 ===

<li>Description: After invitations have been sent, the goal would be to have our first large council meeting at the beginning of Spring semester. This would be a chance for everyone to be updated on what they have been doing and where they plan to head in the short term</li>

</ul>

=== Milestone 3: First Breakout Session - Feb 2020  ===

<li>Description:Our goal is to have smaller working groups within SIEC that work to help further a specific initiative in the I&E landscape. Whether this is joint events, joint sourcing of partners and resources, etc. our goal would be for 2  - 3 of these groups to form in the early spring semester. </li>

</ul>

= PRIORITY 3: UIF PROGRAM LONGEVITY  =

The University Innovation Fellows is a program that has impacted the lives of not only the fellows, but many other on campus. However, at a university of Ohio State’s size, it is very difficult to have a sustained impact as cohorts change and projects last outside of the scope of an academic year. As the UIF program, we will be working towards developing a sustainable model for UIF in order to ensure that the program has strategic and constant presence within the University.

<li>Fellows Involved: Andrew Benisek, Lauren Saggar, Kai McKinney, Jen Schlegel, Astha Rastogi, George Varcarcel </li>

</ul>

=== Milestone 1: Addressing Key University Stakeholders - Nov 2019 ===

<li>Description: At the November Stakeholder meeting, the entire UIF program will not only be addressing current progress but setting up discussions to set up a permanent board for guidance over our program. </li>

</ul>

=== Milestone 2: Defining a permanent home - Feb 2020 ===

<li>Description: The UIF program at the Ohio State University has been housed within a specific college of study. The UIF team plans to have discussions with university administration to determine if this is the best home for our program given our priorities moving forward. </li>

</ul>

=== Milestone 3: Defining Project Lifetimes - March 2020 ===

<li>Description: As a program, we must consider the size and complexity of projects we can and cannot take on. As we look to position ourselves as strategic connectors between university silos, we must define what we can and cannot support as a program moving forward.</li>

</ul>

=== Milestone 4: New Recruiting Cycle - March 2012 ===

<span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; background-color: transparent; font-weight: 700; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Description:For the 2020 recruiting season, our programs goal is to increase the diversity of our team to include not only more areas of academic study, but pools of though. By more accurately representing campus on our team, we can better serve the I&E needs of the university.

= PRIORITY 4: FOSTERING MULTIDISCIPLINARY COLLABORATION =

The Ohio State University is composed of diverse expertise and strong research, but this is often siloed into respective disciplines. Effective impact means that everyone has access to resources and the ability to share perspectives in order to create change on a systematic basis.

<li>Fellows Involved: Andrew Benisek, Lauren Saggar, Kai McKinney, Jen Schlegel, Astha Rastogi, George Varcarcel </li>

</ul>

=== Milestone 1: Map Stakeholders - Nov 2019 ===

<li>Description: Begin effective organization with identified EI-related stakeholders, including students, university centers, student organizations, and academic faculty in order to comprehensively frame further initiatives</li>

</ul>

=== Milestone 2: Create a Framework - Feb 2020 ===

<li>Description: Define a structure for multidisciplinary collaboration across many fields. This would include delegating contact and collaboration to the above identified stakeholders. </li>

</ul>

=== Milestone 3: First Workshop - March 2020 ===

<li>Description: Prototype effective collaboration around a research problem, identify and contact stakeholders, including students, researchers, and university centers, and experiment with collaborative approaches. </li>

</ul>

=== Milestone 4: Structural Growth - Autumn 2021 ===

<span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; background-color: transparent; font-weight: 700; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Description:Make relevant changes to the framework after prototyping, and start building a structure towards growth, reaching more disciplines, solving more problems, and fostering more involvement.
