Overview
While Texas A&M University boasts a vast sum of resources in order to facilitate entrepreneurship, its de facto accessibility is lackluster due to the sparse nature of all of the manifestations of the resources. While it may initially seem positive that we have so many different facilities and programs, it leads to confusion, especially for undergraduate students, and creates an inhibitory effect on students who wish to venture into I&E. This leads to the stonewalling of many students from taking initiative for an idea they may have, and this produces, in sum, an unrecoverable loss in ideas, the retardation of innovation evangelism, and limits entrepreneurship in general for the student body. It is imperative that the university organizes the programs and resources in a manner that is intuitive, clear, and easily accessible.
This page lists directed strategies to this issue and enumerates possible implementations of solutions for each strategy.
Strategies
Goal A: Central Hub for I&E
Current structure is too confusing; organize an umbrella head for all I&E initiatives and programs.
- Website that is clear, concise, and minimalistic.
- A student should be able to enter this website and not be overwhelmed by the structure.
- Material Design Lite is a feasible standard
- Short and easy URL (tamuie.com, ie.tamu.edu, etc)
- The website should be a portal that any student can use to find out more about I&E at TAMU.
Goal B: Increase outreach efforts and maximize exposure
Proactive Outreach: Go to the students, instead of waiting for the students to come to us.
- Emails have the best breadth but are generally ignored by students or misplaced as spam. Not much we can do to help, since students actually do receive a lot of spam. This is our base case.
- Posters are our initial opportunities to draw the attention of unaware students and pique their interests. Make them eye-catching, but clear and concise.
- Have a "free-be" event: this is one of the many ways that tech companies draw talent from a pool of initially unaware students. Usually involves a table with free food.
- Send speakers to courses:
- Have an "ambassador" for each department/classification to speak briefly at the beginning of class about I&E.
- Survey students before and after outreach efforts are in place in order to gauge the effects of our implementations.
