How to AUB Directory
The last couple of years at AUB have shown great strides in I&E however during our interviews and research we noticed that not many people are aware of the resources that exist. Our first project idea is to raise awareness of what AUB has to offer for I&E, research, volunteering, clubs, and events. The "How to AUB Directory" is somewhat of a landscape campus offered to students to see and know their way in AUB. The directory can be done in the form of an application or a social media account showcasing all that is available at AUB. We will also include "How to Guides", inspired by the UIF guides offered to fellows, that will be made and reviewed by students and professors. Given our countries situation in 2021, creating and spending funding for new facilities and resources is difficult so instead of making something new, it's a great step to raise awareness of what is currently available at AUB.
New AUB Orientation
During our interviews conducted with first years, it was not so surprising that many of them have no idea of what exists at AUB, however, this brought to light the fact that orientation for university may need improvement. Many students would tell us that "nobody tells us anything, of course, won't know anything". Our new model for orientation at AUB would include an introduction to I&E at AUB, showcasing previous students who have worked on startups, showing students where they can get support to be future entrepreneurs, and where to they can make a change and innovate at AUB. Finally, AUB's orientation lacks "fun" in it, some ideas we want to implement
are sports competitions and speed dating.
