== Creating a Freshman Orientation Program ==
Insert Description HereOur Freshman Orientation Program aims to expose incoming students to the various entrepreneurial and innovation opportunities and resources available to them on Wash U’s campus. Over the past few months, we have uncovered many new resources we never knew existed; the majority of students on campus do not know about these resources, either. We feel that a thorough understanding of what our campus offers is crucial to spurring entrepreneurship and innovation at Wash U. We believe that exposing students to the opportunities available to them and motivating them to innovate will be most effective when they are incoming or new students and have yet to establish themselves on campus. Furthermore, we want to foster collaboration among various different disciplines across the school by bring a diverse array of students in contact with each other. Specifically, we plan to host many meetings where students can meet each other and network. We also will oversee trips to various innovative and entrepreneurial spaces on Wash U’s campus and in the St. Louis community. Additionally, we will acquaint students with the many entrepreneurial activities and clubs on campus by hosting pitches from various clubs and providing a centralized source of information regarding them.
