STRATEGY #1: IMPROVE COMMUNICATION CHANNELS ACROSS DEPARTMENTS

The communication on the topic of entrepreneurship and innovation between different departments and schools is spotty and unclear. A straightforward method of communication for planning and advertising events could greatly improve efficiency.

·         Identify key contacts from different departments

·         Set up a meeting to discuss common goal and resources

·         Create a regular medium for representatives from each department to keep in contact

STRATEGY #2: ESTABLISH COMMUNICATION CHANNEL WITH STUDENTS

There is no clear map of entrepreneurs across students nor a method for students to view all the resources through a single medium. By creating a database and/or cumulative calendar it would be easier for students to keep updated with opportunities.

·         Reach out to campus leaders to identify all present opportunities

·         Collect opportunities on a calendar to be synced with different resources across campus

·         Advertise events on the calendar so students will learn where to find future opportunities

STRATEGY #3: INTRODUCE A METHOD FOR STUDENTS TO RECIEVE FEEDBACK

There is currently no main channel for students to go through to receive feedback from both their fellow students and faculty members. Feedback is necessary for dictating where improvement is required.<o:p></o:p>

·         Identify campus leaders who would partake in a feedback panel<o:p></o:p>

·         Identfy students who would be interested in hearing other ideas and concerns in regards to entrepreneurship and innovation<o:p></o:p>

·         Plan a regular meeting for students to attend to recieve feedback on their ideas<o:p></o:p>
