==Strategy #1: Innovation Center (Covenant Adenuga)==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 non-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 resultsThe main goal of this project are:
*Create an avenue for students to develop Develop innovative and entrepreneurial mindsetsin students through Design Thinking workshops on campus.*Create Mobilize a space that would be available for students to develop certain skillset 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:
*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 that come to Fisk to talk about I&E (Chibuikem Iheagwaram)==
During our interviews with students and faculty, we also found that:
#Working towards organizing first TED talk at Fisk University to talk about I&E topics that cut across different majors.
==Strategy #3: Increase number of mental health workshops and leaders (Aayush Bhatta)==
After interviewing with students, we came to know that the students at Fisk university student's mental health can be improved by doing workshops and calling alumni to come and share their experience and how they coped when they were in college.
#Reach out to the alumni to come back to Fisk and help the students with their experience of mental health.
#Student leaders can make sure they are speaking for their fellow friends to point out the major issue students are having with mental health.
#Faculty can conduct various workshops to empower students regarding mental health.#Maintain the physical and human resources at mental health center to keep student comfortable in seeking help. ==Strategy #4: Increase campus accessibility and awareness ==After interviewing with students, we came to know that the students at Fisk university are not aware of resources and aid that college provides to them. Benefits like 504 and opportunities for extra-curricular engagements are underutilized. To resolve this challenge on campus, we plan to: #Create and maintain a virtual and interactive map as an extension to school website that helps new and differently abled people navigate campus and also provide assistance if needed.#Provide students with volunteer hours for providing assistance as guide to new or differently abled people on campus.<!--DO NOT EDIT BELOW THIS LINE --><!--DO NOT EDIT BELOW THIS LINE -->
