Furthering the Innovation Challenge by augmenting it with the Clinton Global Initiative is one of the methods to make it better. The CGI is more social based and will allow those who do not have a business plan to not only enter a innovation club but will give the chance of moving even farther on than just NDSU.
== Tactic #3 Professional Lecture Series ==
NDSU had recently begun to bring regional professionals and entreprenuers onto campus on a monthly basis called, Career Conversations, and its attendance has been abysmal. The value in a stysem like this could be increadible for opening minds, exposing new trends in the business environment to students and also simply networking, yet very few students attend. The system is flawed but the idea is there. I new method would be to change venues base on the department or realm that the speaker is based around, and also chaning the mentality. A one hour lecture over a student's lunch is not an ideal manner, for either the student or the professional, yet having it at the tail end of a small intese course would gain results.
This process can open up doors for students and those in the business sector, by simply getting the conversation going, the fundamental element to connection. Bringing in speakers people know and or care about/ discussing topics people are intrigued about can further bridge the gap between the campus and community.
