== Strategy #1: Innovation Centre Center==
Our research into opportunities for I&E in Fisk University turned up a space allocated to innovation in the schools library. It is non-functional and un-furnished but presents to us a blank canvas we absolutely can't wait to get some paint on. This project includes turning that space to a fully functional innovation center. We hope with the innovation center we can achieve two results:
* Create a avenue for students to develop innovative and entrepreneurial mindsets.* Create a space that would be available for students to develop certain skillsets that could be useful in the nearest future for income and/or recreational purposes.
To achieve this, we hope to employ the following starting steps:
* Pitch the idea to the school faculty, and receive permission to fully develop the innovation space in a way that it can draw students in.* Organize workshops for faculty and students to help build innovation and entrepreneurship.* To do this, we hope to start small by incorporating already existing classes and instructors of those classes to present at these workshops when they are available.* Fisk University collaborates with companies to help prepare students for general career readiness. We hope to also utilize this to get company representatives interested in developing entrepreneurial mindsets in college students to come participate in workshops.* As students need to get Service Learning and Professional Development hours to maintain their scholarships, we could also provide Service Learning and Professional Development hours to students who attend to encourage student participation.
==Strategy #2: Increase number of resource persons and alumni that come to Fisk to talk about I&E==
