=== <u>Strategy #1: Virtual Reality Headset Simulation</u> ===
'''Description/Background:'''
Virtual reality simulation headsets at Central Michigan University could provide students with immersive, hands-on learning experiences that closely mirror real-world environments. By allowing students to practice skills and explore scenarios in a safe, interactive setting, VR technology can enhance education across all departments, from nursing and engineering to business and the arts. This innovation would help bridge the gap between classroom learning and professional application, giving students valuable experience before entering their fields. Overall, implementing VR simulations would elevate CMU’s academic offerings and prepare students more effectively for success in their future careers.

=== <u>Strategy #2: Maroon Munchies</u> ===
'''Description/Background:'''
A free food vending machine program at Central Michigan University could greatly support student well-being by addressing food insecurity and promoting healthier eating habits. By allowing students two free swipes per day for snacks or small meals, the system ensures that everyone has access to nourishment, even when time or money is limited. This initiative would particularly benefit busy students balancing classes, work, and extracurriculars who might otherwise skip meals. It also demonstrates CMU’s commitment to equity and student success by creating a caring, inclusive campus environment where no one has to learn on an empty stomach. If students need additional food or support, they can visit the CMU Student Food Pantry for more resources and assistance.

=== <u>Strategy #3: Food Delivery Robots</u> ===
'''Description/Background:'''
Small food delivery robots could positively impact Central Michigan University by improving campus convenience, sustainability, and efficiency. These autonomous robots can deliver meals and snacks directly to students, faculty, and staff, reducing wait times and easing congestion at dining halls during peak hours. They promote sustainability by using electric power instead of fuel, lowering the university’s carbon footprint. Additionally, the technology can create learning and research opportunities for students in robotics, logistics, and business innovation, reinforcing CMU’s commitment to hands-on education and modern campus experiences.
