== '''Promoting student innovation and entrepreneurship'''<br/> ==
=== Entrepreneurship Advisory Council === This project aims to provide a resource for aspiring entreprenuers. Faculty, students, and local entreprenuers will host one to two office hours a week to provide council for students or faculty who are thinking about starting a business or organization. Office hours will be held in a conference room with room to pitch a presentation. To develop this program, we will need a rotating group of faculty, entreprenuers, and students who have backgrounds in entreprenuership to advise during these sessions. We may also expand the program to provide funding for projects if possible. The sixth cohort from the Spring 2019 session are organizing this project. === E-Volve Club (E-Club) ===
In the Spring 2014 semester, the Entrepreneurship Club at mines was restarted to become an active campus organization that has brought in local entrepreneurs to talk about their experiences. The club will organize several campus wide events in the coming academic year to increase awareness and exposure to innovation and entrepreneurship.

== '''Encouraging faculty innovation and entrepreneurship''' <br/> ==
The Colorado School of Mines UIF Leadership circle focuses on building professional and personal relationships with faculty in order to encourage faculty innovation and rally support for the concepts of innovation and entrepreneurship.
=== '''Trefney Center for Innovation''' ===
== '''Actively Supporting the University Technology Transfer Function'''<br/> ==
While the majority of collaboration is used to fund graduate students. There are resources that help students branch out and make lasting connections
=== CSM 101 Pathways Class Revision ===
CSM 101 is a required class for first years and transfer students, which aims to teach students about the various opportunities and resources on campus. This class aims to promote friendship between the peer mentors who teach the class and the students taking the class. However, students have felt that the class did not signifcantly help in either of the ways listed above. This project aims to revise the class by putting students with similar interests in the same class. Those students would then have the opportunity to all work on a project with the theme of their class. Students could list their interests before enrolling to find a class that fits best to their interests. Alumni from the classes can come back to teach other students.
This project would put like-minded students together, forming stronger bonds that may last throughout their time at Mines. Furthermore, it has the opportunity to allow students to have an outlet to express themselves. To do this, we would need approval from the coordinators of this program. This is organized by the Spring 2019 cohort.
=== Promoting Open Educational Resources at Mines ===
This is an ongoing project that aims to increase the adoption or creation of open educational resources on the Mines campus, which include textbooks or learning materials that are free of cost and able to be openly adapted. There are partnerships with the Trefny Center, Arthur Lakes Library, Undergraduate and Graduate Student Government, and the State of Colorado OER Steering committee. Recently, there we received a grant from the State of Colorado to increase the amount of OERs on campus. This grant is being used to incentivize faculty to create the OERs on their own time. Seven faculty on campus are funded through this grant, and it is estimated that two thousand students will benefit in the first year. To increase this program, we will need more funding to create more grants. This is an ongoing project by the Spring 2019 cohort.
=== McBride Honors Program ===
The Alumni Association also offers vast neworking opportunities outside of the university.
=== Advanced Energy Systems/NREL ===
The Advanced Energy Systems Graduate Degree promotes collaboration and transfer between the National Renewable Energy Lab (NREL) and Colorado School of Mines. Faculty usually are from NREL and have direct training in the industry, with a good idea of future technologies.
