*<span style="background-color:#ffffff">UIFs can reach out to existing I&E-related organizations, clubs, faculty, groups, etc. and share their mission and goals with them. Gradually, we can create a larger community with a common language that is self-aware of its existence and is able to make change in larger scale. </span>
'''Tactical: Interdisciplinary Connections'''
*UIF's can work with teaching faculty to conuct events that will bridge the gap between different branches of academia by encouraging interdisciplinary teamwork and collaboration of projects, as well as build connections.
**Potential event: Rapid Innovation Process Workshop (RIP). The RIP workshop will be advertised to all schools and colleges in UWM ideally through each school or college's student news letter or email. The workshop will be held on a Saturday morning from 9 am until 1:00 pm, with breakfast items and lunch provided. Attendees will be sorted into groups of 5 based on the branch of academia under which they applied so that each group participating will contain one member from each branch. The groups will then learn about the design process, develop/decide on a problem, brainstorm solutions, prototype a minimum viable product, and end with a "Rapid Design Expo" where the final products are shown off. The end goal of this workshop will be to create connections between the various branches of academia, and in the long run, hopefully be a stepping stone in creating a more closely connected and networked sense of community. One not divided by majors or degrees. Ideally it will also show the value of having a team comprised of members with different backgrounds.
