Priorities:Ohio University Student Priorities

Overview

       Ohio University

Top Priorities

1.    Spreading the Entrepreneurial Spirit throughout the whole campus.

We will do this through an array of methods.

• Implementing a campus wide Innovation Challenge Series; this will help facilitate the conversation and implementation of entrepreneurship into areas otherwise untouched by the subject. The Series will be a collection of challenges throughout each semester that any student (or faculty) can participate in.  The Challenges will be cheap and unexclusive in order to encourage participants to think at the core level of innovation.
• Establish unencumbered means of communication, allowing students to participate in a free flowing conversation about innovation and entrepreneurship (I&E).

• Better promoting the focus of I&E as an ecosystem.  We will transform the way we present information across campus and encourage the conversation.

2.    Organize & deliver more resources on Innovation & Entrepreneurship through an easy to access outlet.

The Ohio University I&E Ecosystem will be fueled by the consistent learning and participation of I&E topics.  We will facilitate this need through these methods:

• Organization and execution of a large bi-annual Speaker Program.  The program will be similar to TEDx events in that the mission will be “ideas worth spreading”.  We will pull resources from our Ohio University community the surrounding communities as well as encourage alumni and established innovators to participate.
• The practice of broadening our horizons and bringing communities from all over the world into Athens & Ohio University.
• By means of virtual communication, actually visiting these communities and spreading their ideals after research.

3.    Enabling student entrepreneurs to follow their Dreams.

The I&E community will come together to support our student entrepreneurs. We will encourage, enable, empower and enrich each student in order to help them become the greatest versions of themselves.  The knowledge, experience and wisdom they gain from the community will directly and indirectly better their ideas and businesses.
