=== UO Innovation Summit ===
*'''Background: '''The current Entrepreneurship Club is slowly declining in attendance and engagment from current UO students. The club has a speaker come in every meeting to discuss business related topics while also providing inspiration and networking opportunities.
*'''How it works: '''The club has introduced a bi-weekly newsletter than helps students find underground awesome internships, interesting articles/videos/quotes/podcast episodes our exec team has ran across that week. We are looking into introducing a podcast to the club where we reach out to interesting people/alumni that our members what to listen to, members would send in questions mixed with exec team questions then we'd record and share to the club and the community. Potential name for podcast is "All Innovators Podcast".
*'''Mission''': Connect the school (all departments) through entrepreneurship/innovation and try and make students/faculty understand that we are all entrepreneurs/innovators.
