Strategic Goals:
The UNA Fellows Vision: To promote Innovation and Entrepreneurship by integrating, incorporating, and accelerating multidisciplinary programs into our university’s culture.
The Triple E Mission: Excite and Engage students to Embrace Entrepreneurship and Innovation.
Contents
Immediate Initiatives:
Initative #1: Change the Language
While surveying, students informed us that they didn’t believe their majors needed entrepreneurship or innovation, because it wasn’t a business department and they didn’t want to own a business. First, we have to change the verbiage and language to get students to understand that this topic is not only relevant, but absolutely VITAL for their majors, departments, and careers, community and the university.
Terms we researched and will be implementing in our promotion:
· Problem Solving
· Renovation
· Development
· Transformation
· Ambitious
· Diversification
· Enlightening
· Coaching
Long-Term Initiatives:
Intiative #4: Google Talks and Ted Talks
In order to gain more value in the minds of our students, we need exciting and knowledgable events. By hosting a TedTalks, the students would become engaged, the faculty and staff would understand the vitality of implementing innovation and technology in all departments, and UNA would also gain from a rise in education standards and acknowledgement.
Initiative #5: Workspaces
We struggled mapping out the workspaces available to students 24/7 with the resources to be creative, test ideas, and prototype. Simply, this is unrealistic and unacceptable, especially if we are trying to grow to become more tech savvy. We must provide more workspaces for students to have the power to continually create, research, and design.
Initiative #6: Grant Writing for Research/Internships/Entrepreneurs
Funding from a regional, state, and federal level is a must in order for us to be successful through this transformation. Technology and advancement is very expensive, and simply, our community is not equipped to pour billions of dollars into our program. We, the students, must use our power to persuade the government and private companies to invest in us, because they will be investing in the future of the state/nation.
