='''Priority 15: Project 2: Reworking Elon's connection sites (2023)'''= ===Purpose:===First year students can have a lot of trouble navigating the various websites students are required to use. Some of the most notable difficult to use websites include Phoenix Connect, OnTrack, and Elon Self Service. Ideally these websites should be either combined or reworked individually to provide freshmen with the accessible tools necessary to make the transition to college smooth. ===Strategies:===- Talk to website owners/creators to possibly redesign the layout - Ask students what they think should change/fix on Ontrack, Moodle, Phenix Connect, Acorn App (first year students - portal) - If students agree, show university some sort of data/poll that shows the area in need of improvement <br /> ='''Priority 16: First Year Mentoring Program (2023)'''=
===Purpose:===
- Work with on campus organizations that have mentoring program to help form a curriculum that would allow mentors to better engage with incoming students
='''Priority 1617: Improving Student Used Locations (2023)'''=
===Purpose:===
- Interview students about what spaces they did not know about to understand what spaces are under utilized
='''Priority 18: Umbrella Rentals (2023)'''=
===Purpose:===
Elon University receives a decent amount of rain fall each year. While there is often warnings of rain, there are many times where students are caught out in the rain. This project would be focused on placing umbrella rental services in several of the main buildings around campus. Students would be able to rent umbrellas using their Phoenix cards for free. To ensure the return of the umbrellas, there would be a fee placed on the students if the umbrella is not returned or damaged. The technological systems that would be needed for this project are already in place on the campus and would not need to be built. This project would allow students to rent and use umbrellas without paying or bringing umbrellas with them.
===Strategies:===
- Talk with physical plant to find what places on campus we could put umbrellas rental services
- Talk with students to see if they would be interested in having umbrella rentals on campus

='''Priority 19: Improving Student Awareness (2024)'''=
===Purpose:===
Elon has a lot of clubs, extracurricular activities, innovative efforts and other programs. Elon does not have a huge amount of man power to allocate people to advertise to students. Our project would be a set structure for Elon Core or 1010 teachers to incorporate into their class schedule. It would be a concentrated list of activities and programs Elon offers, students would sign up for a specific program for example "Elon Clubs" and give a brief presentation on where to sign up for these clubs, give some examples and some more information on how to get involved. This would help Elon outsource, help freshman learn more about Elon and help teachers fill in curriculum in some mandatory freshman classes.
===Strategies:===
- Ask Core and 1010 teachers what they think
- Talk with higher ups in the school to see the plausibility of the idea
- Interview students about their opinions about the effectiveness of the idea
