To do this will be a lot of work, but it is possible. The faculty here care about their students and want to hear their opinions and ideas. Well here they are! Described on this page are 4 strategies is the Three-Phased plan to turn YCP better campus. A better campus is one where we collaborate with each other, learn more about design thinking and innovation, and all have access to resources that will make us better professionals.</span> </span> <br/> <span id="docs-internal-guid-905fe941-cb45-1767-5d16-431d80ad8a4a"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-weight: 700; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">#Phase 1 : Create a Makerspace for Everyone On CampusDesign Thinking Courses</span></span> <br/>  <span idstyle="docsfont-internal-guid-905fe941-cb45-1767-5d16-431d80ad8a4asize:larger;"><span style="fontbackground-sizecolor: 11pttransparent; font-family: Arial; colorcolor: rgb(0, 0, 0); backgroundfont-colorfamily: transparent; vertical-align: baselineArial; white-space: pre-wrap;">Being developed on York College’s campus is a makerspace for a small group During our experience interviewing freshmen, many of honor students (including the eight of us) them expressed in design thinking and a few others that are deemed innovative innovation and important for large projectsentrepreneurship classes. The plans for this space and how we use it are not yet finalizedUnfortunately, but it is a space that is privately funded with valuable resourcesmany of them were unsure of their ability in the field, so there cannot be 24/7 access or didn’t consider themselves creative enough to everyone. While it is still inspiring as anyone with enough passion can be given access to make their projects come to life, the college needs a space for all students to come togetherpart of entrepreneurship avenues on campus. Makerspaces are known to provide the environment necessary for the creative process, and can focus To remedy this issue we would create design thinking courses on different subjects (softwarecampus. "Design Thinking I" would fulfil a Gen-Ed requirement, businesspotentially Humanitites, artQuantitative Fluency, etc)or Arts. A general makerspace that provides anyone of any major the tools to follow the It would focus on using design thinking process methods to solve a problem on campus.

It would be highly encouraged to take "Design Thinking I" before "Design Thinking II". "Design Thinking II" would be the starting point for part II of Phase I, creating custom constellations.</span></span> <span style="font-size:larger; "><span style="background-color: transparent; verticalcolor: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-alignfamily: baselineArial; white-space: pre-wrap;">There are two ways to possibly advance this ideaA constellation is a group of 4 classes from a minimum of 3 disciplines. The first would be to make access to Students could choose these classes that comprise the constellation, allowing for greater flexibility within the developing makerspace easier to obtaindiscipline. However"Design Thinking II" would be required for this custom constellation, this and the ideals taught in the class would be tough lend itself to implement because the general theme of the state of its existenceconstellation. The fact that it’s funded not by the college but rather the benefactor of our honors program doesn’t automatically make it a campus resource. Because of this, installing another makerspace for all students on campus would likely be better. This way, the space can encapsulate everything the average student would want and more specific resources for each major involved.<</span></span></span> <br/> <span idstyle="docsbackground-internalcolor: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-guidfamily: Arial; font-905fe941size: 11pt; white-cb45space: pre-1767-5d16-431d80ad8a4awrap;"><span style="font-size: 11ptlarger; font-family: Arial">&nbsp; color: rgb(0, 0, 0)&nbsp; background-color: transparent</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; vertical-align: baseline&nbsp; white-space: pre-wrap&nbsp;">Some of the steps necessary for this endeavour are:</span></span</span><ol style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;">  <libr /><span id="docs-internal-guid-905fe941-cb45-1767-5d16-431d80ad8a4a"><span style="font-size: 11pt; backgroundfont-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-weight: 700; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Confirm a desire for a makerspace on campusPhase 2: Graham Innovation Zone</span></span></li><li><span idstyle="docsfont-internal-guid-905fe941-cb45-1767-5d16-431d80ad8a4asize:larger;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; background-color: transparent; vertical-align: baseline; white-The Graham Innovation Zone (GIZ) is currently under construction and only availible to Graham Scholars, but we see this as a stepping stone in the innovation culture at York College.

Students interested in following this path thinking will meet with advisors to handpick courses that will compliment each other in order to give be at the student a degree in a major they have designed to encompass all of their interests. Some examples forefront of this are Digital Design, comprised of computer science partnership so that the ties stay strong and art, and Biochemistry, which is comprised of biology and chemistry courses.

The idea is to create a unique strong bond with the children and incredible opportunity a safe space for them to be able to unlock their full creative potential. Throughout the program, studentswill learn what makes us each unique, acknowledging our different backgrounds in life, and what makes us who we have are. This will all tie in with understanding the way businesses work and how innovative products are formed to benefit human needs. Through this process, students will be learning how to create their own products. They will do so by developing an understanding of the need they found through exercises that this is not advertised enough throughout encourages students to be empathetic and dig deep into their peers or the campuscommunity’s lives. Many juniors Skills like critical thinking, problem solving, STEM, written and oral communication, empathy, and seniors here have no idea creativity are all skills that that Guppy Tank students will be exposed to. To finish out the program exists, students will present their products in front of a panel of “Sharks.” This would ideally involve the local community members and end up wishing that they were able to follow small business owners. Students who successfully do this sort will have the option of path instead continuing their work and actually developing it. This would be a continuation of the after-school program in a predefined majorsecond session. We would love to begin prototyping ways to make more In the second session, new students, especially incoming freshman can join and potential but to participate in the Guppy Tank Modules first. This could happen simultaneously with session one students of York College, more aware ; you could think of this opportunityas “cohorts. We hope ” Similar to finish prototyping by the end of this semesterStanford d.school “Bootcamp Bootleg,” we have the Guppy Tank interactive textbook. These tools will provide guided activities, tips and tricks, implementing our ideas and solutions at the start of proper way to work through the Spring 2018 semestermodules. These tools are necessary to display what Guppy tank is about, missions, updates on student’s works, contacts, events, and ultimately a place to work.&nbsp;</span></span></span></span> </span> <br/><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 11pt; font-weight: 700; white-space: pre-wrap;"> <span id="docs-internal-guid-905fe9413dcec856-cb457fff-176781dd-5d16bbfe-431d80ad8a4ae8724372024e"><span style="font-size: 11pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-weight: 700; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Phase 4 - Max - Campus-Community Maker Space</span></span></span></span> <span style="font-family: Arialarial,helvetica,sans-serif; "><span style="font-size:small;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-weight: 700; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span id="docs-internal-guid-3dcec856-7fff-81dd-bbfe-e8724372024e"><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">We would also love The core value of design thinking is collaboration and innovation through empathy. Our final phase is a physical commitment to create this value, in the form of a program campus-community maker space. Similar to the Graham Innovation Zone maker space, this area will facilitate design your own minor. Many majorsthinking in a comfortable and familiar environment, such as nursing but with an added emphasis on community outreach and engineering, have such rigorous curriculum that many do integration. Having this space will not have only promote the ability to take a minor, or they are incredibly limited aforementioned community outreach programs we highlighted in their choices phases 2 and 3 but will also provide an incubator-style testing ground for minors. This is something that we would want further programs to discuss with the Provost be developed and the Academic Programs Committee of Faculty Senateimplemented for campus-community collaboration. We hope to be able to establish While a strongspecific location has not yet been determined, solidified program that would enable us to make this several unused areas exist where such a reality by Fall space could be created.

This green space, including a community garden, pollinator garden, fruit bearing trees, and seating space would provide a place where students can relax, learn and interact with one another in order to form a community and to promote sustainability goals. Organizations on campus such as the Plant and Gardening Club, Beekeeping Club, and the Campus Activities Board would be able to utilize such a space for club meetings and other events in order to bring give students more opportunities to go outside and enjoy the outdoors. This gardens can also help provide food for food insecure members on campus as well as provide good points of contact to collaborate with other institutions and the local community in York. Classes and faculty would also be able to utilize such a space to help teach others about plants and horticulture as well as providing a space to learn about sustainability.   '''<big>Strategy 2- First Friday Biking Event<br/big> - Noah'''  '''<small>First Friday is a local community event in York hosted on the first Friday of each month. It is a celebration of the city that involves the community and local businesses as citizens are encouraged to hit the town and interact with stores, restaurants and the central market. Allowing students an easy option to interact with this holiday could help connect them with the greater community surrounding the college and introduce them to local businesses and vendors, making them a part of the local economy. Using bikes to transport students into the city can also provide students with a relaxed method of exercise that doesn't come with the same pressures as a gym environment but still provides the mental and physical health benefits. For this to happen the campus will need to create a system to poll students who will be coming and calculate the total amount of students attending as well as those who already have bikes. We will also gather paid volunteers to lead the trip into the city, about 1 for every 15 students. After a total count is performed, bikes will be rented from a local bike shop or distributor to accommodate the students without bikes. There is also the option of the college creating their own bike rental service and having a stock of bikes already on campus. Once the correct amount of bikes are accumulated students will meet in the Grumbacher parking lot to get ready for their venture into the city. After everyone is accounted for, students and trip leaders will begin towards the city using the rail trail path. Once in the city, students will visit notable businesses in the community and learn about the needs they serve for York, stop at a restaurant of their choice for dinner, and continue to explore the city until 9:30 PM. At this time students will regroup at the large bus stop terminals on the rail trail and begin their commute back to the college. They will return to their dorms more connected with the York community, a greater knowledge of the businesses and shops available to them within the city, and an idea of how to become part of the local economy and even bolster it in the future.<br/small>'''   '''<big>Strategy 3- Community Garden - Reilly<br/big>''' The YCP Community Garden will allow space for students to connect with nature in a meaningful way. Students can do as they please in this space: relax, learn, etc. Nurturing flowers and vegetables can be a rewarding and meditative experience for students; doing something tactile can help calm the mind, especially when there is a tangible result from the activity. Workshops taught by outside organizations and faculty alike as well as campus events could be held in this space. This space is not static and can change based on student needs. The goal is to make many small gardens across campus so that more students have access to them. Each garden will have scheduled maintenance days led by students and carried out by students. Lastly, a garden on campus will help provide nutrient rich vegetables to food insecure students at the Spartan Pantry at York College of Pennsylvania.   '''<big>Strategy 4- Community Mental Health Support Group - Jacob<br/big>''' <br/div><br/small><br/big>Community Mental Health Support Group is a student lead therapist monitored support group which aims to help students struggling with mental health issues learn coping techniques. Trying to make healthy habits to promote and maintain mental health is hard, doing this while dealing with mental health issues is even harder. This mental health support group is to meant to help student practice, learn and deal with issues related to there journey of health. Students will be lead by other students leader who has delt with these issues, who are further on there journey of health and are trained to support other students by licensed therapist. The bonus of having students lead these seasons is that it provides a large amount of diversity to the therapy space. Activities would be split up into two groups: large activities this is open to the general school population doing general mental health maintenance activates including: art therapy, music therapy, yoga, meditation, gardening, and other teaching activities and a smaller group with students who are dealing with specific mental health struggles or different student diversity populations like LGBTQ+ or a bipolar support group. Other future ideas that I would like to see is producing a art and music room in that students pay a small one time fee to go in and learn how to play music interments and practice art with the guidance of students who guild them through learning but also support them with music and art therapy.<br/big><br/small><brdiv>=Related Links= [[York College of Pennsylvania|York College of Pennsylvania]] York College of Pennsylvania Student Priorities Student Contributors '''2019''' [http://universityinnovation.org/Madison%20Davis Madison Davis] [http://universityinnovation.org/Max%20Vargo Max Vargo] [http://universityinnovation.org/Erin%20Hirtzel Erin Hirtzel] [http://universityinnovation.org/>Rachael%20Huebler Rachael Huebler] '''Fall 2017''' [[Victoria cox|Victoria Cox]] [[Ben Hinkel|Ben Hinkel]] [[Benjamin o'connor|Benjamin O'Connor]] [[Nick Vandemark|Nick Vandemark]] [[John Kershner|John Kershner]] [[Vivian ferris|Vivian Ferris]] [[Miranda gajda|Miranda Gajda]] [[William amtmann|William Amtmann]] <br/><br/>&lt;/div&gt; [[Category:Student Priorities|Student_Priorities]][[Category:Student Priorities]][[Category:Student Priorities]][[Category:York_College_of_Pennsylvania]][[Category:Student_Priorities]]{{CatTree|York_College_of_Pennsylvania}}
