It could incorporate all colleges and highlight popular majors. The dean of each college would be able to present information about their specific college. If a student in the program wanted to learn more information about a specific major they could ask the instructor or email after the presentation. Another way to increase student engagement is to encourage older students to talk about their specific major. Education majors are able to get volunteer hours for teaching a program to students. As for the university, short term, it will see small losses as each student finds a major faster decreasing wasted payments for classes not needed; however, long term, the university will gain more students and retain students to possibly go on to become a graduate program candidate. Over time, the program could turn into a class undecided majors take to figure out exactly what they want to get a degree in. </span></span>

Currently, the website does not have support from nearly all events that are happening around campus. Most of these event’s information is sent to students through their emails which get overlooked more often than not. When the universityCenter for Entrepreneurship and Innovation Technology sends an email about upcoming events, for example; students often never see it because they are overwhelmed with so many other events. If this calendar was updated then all events could be filtered through to find exactly what students wanted to see and would also eliminate the need for student organizations to send so many emails.&nbsp;</span></span> ==

While this is an excellent way for students to get involved in activities and groups that they really enjoy, our email system becomes really crowded with organization events and activities. By working with the Student Government Association on campus who organizes the student organizations on campus, we could work on making sure that the emails being sent are more pertinent to students and Entrepreneurship into that emails are only sent for important notifications. This would eliminate a lot of the First Year Experience Courseemails that are sent by organizations which aren’t applicable for most students and don’t contain clear information. By decluttering students emails, all emails that are sent would have a better chance at student reception including those sent by I&E organizations which are promoting their events.</span></span>

To make the lesson more effective, stagger instruction days so that the I&E students who produced the lesson plan can actually teach the class to the freshmen, showing student leadership in I&E and that a community for it exists on campus.</span> <span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">Projected timeline</span> <span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">-&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Planning during academic year 2017-2018</span> <span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">-&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Trail runs in select classes during Fall 2018</span> <span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">-&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Refine model and fully implement during Fall 2019</span> <span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">'''Tactic 2''' – Innovation and Entrepreneurship event at orientations during summer.</span> <span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">Most freshmen attend one of the orientation session the summer before attending to become familiar and excited about LaTech.
