'''Milestones:'''
== <span style="font-size: 11pt;">Recruit and elect suitable student leaders who will form an Innovation Committee</span><br/> ==
<span style="font-size: 11pt;"></span><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Upon initially starting UIF training, I spoke to many students who were interested in design thinking, yet didn’t know which avenues to pursue these interests. By having a nominated current student in their faculty whom can be easily approached and contacted via e-mail, students can have a casual person to contact to ease any hesitations that may have occurred prior when having to contact a faculty member. </span>
<span style="font-size:small;"></span>Once student change agents have been nominated, contacted and have accepted their position and responsibilities we can start allocating certain roles they would fulfill. This will occur in conjunction with meetings and brainstorming sessions discussing what problems they have encountered in their own faculty and what possible solutions the group can brainstorm and collaborate on.
<span style="font-size: 11pt;"></span><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11pt;">A 3 day event that could tie in with Innovation Week that includes pop-up stalls on the concourse that highlights design thinking and inclusion. These stalls/classes/events would be promoted as low-cost and in general a fun introduction to what design thinking can entail. </span>
<span style== Involve "font-size: 11pt;">Once the committee has established itself as a strong student innovation committee driving a student movement through events, the committee can then start approaching local industry to promote UC's E&I ecosystem ==start bridging the gap between student and industry before graduation.</span>
== <span style="font-size: 11pt;">Perform effective changeover of roles to incoming students as current student leaders graduate.</span> ==
<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11pt;">Annually, a changeover should occur in which current student change agents should handover the roles. This process would involve mentoring, in order to continue developing projects so that there is long-term sustainability and longevity of student innovation and entrepreneurship at UC. </span>
= Strategy #2 - Women in STEM and design summit =
<span style="font-size:small;">Examining the current innovation and entrepreneurial clubs and societies during Market Day on O'Week, I was disappointed to see no female representation. From ICT, coding, and entrepreneurship based societies, no females were present in promoting the clubs awareness. Having stayed and observed a society that promoted entrepreneurship/design thinking, the two most common things spoken by women when expressing their hesitations to join was “My idea in mind isn’t to be an entrepreneur” or “ I wouldn’t fit in well”. Another common quote spoken was "I'm not an entrepreneurial type person, but I am interested in design thinking”. Having interviewed the president of this club in regards to female representation, he said that there are actually more female members than male, yet when it got to the stage of pursuing a start up, women tended to drop off towards the later stages.<br/></span>
<span style="font-size:small;">By having a UC Women in STEM and Design Summit we are providing a platform for female ambassadors who are trailblazer's in their respective fields to share their stories and experiences towards the UC community, specifically young women who previously may have been disadvantaged and had to overcome obstacles and challenges as a woman in a male dominated industry. </span>
'''Milestones:'''
<span style="font-size:small;"><span style="font-weight: bold; font-family: Calibri;"></span>Undergoing UIF training encouraged me to seek and pursue all resources on campus leading to innovation and entrepreneurship, uncovering networks of faculties whom are highly interested In the student experience and are willing to help student initiatives. By having an early meeting, faculty will be able to give us links to networks whom can help facilitate and aid our event.</span>
== <span style="font-size:medium;">Reach out to female community leaders for interest</span><br/> ==
<span style="font-size: 11ptsmall; "><span style="font-weight: bold;"></span>Once This will either occur via e-mail or ideally in person through community events, such as the event has been discussed with relevant administration and faculty, SheLeads conferences whereby we can then start allocating a date pitch our idea to female trailblazers in hope that fits in appropriately with they too share the academic calendar passion for the incoming (or next) yearadvocacy at a higher education level. From there an appropriate location will be booked with times to be later confirmed</span>
<span style="font-size:small;"><span style="font-weight:bold"></span>After having previously contacted and communicated interest from relevant leader, start organizing attendee list and agenda which should be immersive and experiential in the design thinking process.</span>
== <span style="font-weightsize:boldmedium;">Formally invite guest speakers to attend summit<br/></span>This will either occur via e-mail or ideally in person through community events, such as the SheLeads conferences whereby we can pitch our idea to female trailblazers in hope that they too share the passion for advocacy at a higher education level.==
= Strategy #3 - Establishing an Entrepreneurship & Innovation Help Centre for students on campus <br/> =
<span style="font-weightsize:boldsmall;"></span>After having previously contacted With the release of UC's latest strategic plan 'Distinctive by Design' which outlines UC's own milestone endeavors for the years 2018-2022, Entrepreneurship and communicated Innovation was at the forefront for strategic importance to the Institution. Therefore, an invested interest from relevant leader, start organizing attendee list and agenda which should be immersive and experiential occur in the design thinking processestablishment of an E&I Help Centre on campus, a common hub whereby students can receive advice whilst developing a passion for I&E principles.This goal can easily occur in a pre-established location on campus.<br/></span>
'''Milestones:'''
<span style="font-weight: bold; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11pt;">Seek whether there is sufficient demand from students and faculty</span> ==
<!--StartFragment-->
Uncover a thorough analysis amongst students across campus on their level of interest in this type of support and whether they would use it, after having explained and shown how I&E can be highly relevant and useful towards their own degrees.
= Strategy #3 = <span style="font- Establishing an Entrepreneurship & Innovation Help Centre weight:bold"></span><br/> ==
<span style="font-weight:bold"></span> == <span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-weight:bold">Locate sufficient funding (grants, Student Services and Amenities Fee etc.)</span></span> == <span style="font-size:small;">Go to the government homepage and scour the website to help find sources towards grants towards innovation and entrepreneurship for students in higher education, and apply for the relevant grants.</span> == <span style="font-weight:bold">Source the relevant people to mange the help centre</span> ==
== <span style="font-weight:bold">Launch of the E&I help centre </span> ==<!--EndFragment--><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 11pt;"> </span>
