'''Fall 2018'''

'''Strategic Priority Four: '''Increasing I&E through extracurricular activities

'''Spring 2018'''~~ ~~=== '''Project One: Reconstructing areas in each building into innovation hubs''' ===~~ Currently, the University of Tulsa has each school split up into different buildings organized together and spread across campus. This is a convient setup for walking between classes, but unfortunetly has limited cross-disciplinary interaction between different majors. Each building also has its own lounge area that is currently being under-utilized. ~~=== '''Project Two: Get credit for extracurriculars that contribute to innovation''' ===~~ ~~The goal of this project is do have the University give students credit for extracurriculars involving innovation. This will give students the ability to do innovation work in a busy course schedule. Many students want to work on innovation, but they are double majors or minors and do not have time to truly invest into many extracurricular activities. ~~Short Term (before the end of fall 2018 semester): Gain support from professors and administrators in each college. Create a plan and outline of how to make the extracurriculars available to all students and how each extracurricular would fit into each major’s graduation plan.</span~~>~~ ~~Medium Term (before the end of spring 2019 semester) : Present to President of University of Deans of each colleges. ~~Medium/Long'''Term~~ rgb(~~fall semester 2019):''' Have a list of extracurriculars open to all students that count as one hour courses P/F.~~ ~~Long Term (fall semester 2020102)~~: ~~Have the extracurriculars online and part of the source selection plan. Have the classes be worth 3-4 hours and have grades.~~ ~~=== '''Project Three: Connecting Student Groups to Companies in the Region''' ===~~ ~~The University of Tulsa has a number of marvelous number of resources for students to take advantage of. There~~ Extracurriculars are a ~~handful of highly educated and extremely motivated faculty who are available~~ fantastic way to ~~help students in any venture they may engage in. However so, these resources may be limited~~ make innovation and ~~some student organizations may need additional guidance to succeed~~entrepreneurship interdisciplinary.~~ ~~ ~~==== Goals and Desired Outcomes ====~~ One strategic priority that we hold dear to our hearts is establishing a program to connect Investors and local businesses to students to enable the flow of resources and mentorship. We strongly believe that connecting students to large companies will be highly beneficial for several reasons. First, and most interestingly, companies in the area will be granted access to the information of students studying Innovation and Entrepreneurship. They will be encouraged to hire students to tackle major challenges that the companies may have. Companies will be incentivized to provide guidance as they will have access to some of the most intelligent and capable pupils. Secondly, we would like to connect students with ideas to these companies so they may have connections and such when preparing to launch or grow their companies. Initial funding in exchange for equity would be a major key to leading student companies to success. The hope is that companies as such will encourage staff to assist students with any issues they may have. For example, say a student needs legal guidance, a company lawyer can provide basic guidance and resources to help that student.  Third, we hope that companies would allow students to tour their establishments and demonstrate how they operate. Students will become much more engaged with their studies as they can observe how applicable what they are learning is in the real world. ~~Fourth, our goal is to encourage companies to invest in student~~ Student organizations by providing gear and supplies that is relative to their industry. Additionally, companies would be encouraged to fund excursions to conferences and other events related to the field that the company is in. ~~As the University of Tulsa is located in Tulsa Oklahoma, many of the largest companies in the area tend~~ contribute to ~~be oil and gas companies. Companies we aim to partner with include QuikTrip, BOK, OneOK, ONE Gas, Phillips 66 and the Ross Group.~~ ~~<div> </div>===~~ '''Project Four: Space and resources sponsorships''' ===~~ ~~The goal is to allocate innovation spaces on campus that are funded and sponsered by local companies that are also supporters of innovation~~14.~~~~ ~~'''Short term: '''Locating available spaces on campus~~ ~~'''Mid term: '''Contacting local companies and recriting potental contributors~~ '''Long term: '''Having materials/supplies sponsered by local companies within our innovation spaces. Having companies design the room around what they believe would benefit students.  ~~== '''Fall 2017: Strategic Priority:''' ==~~ ~~=== Project One: Innovation Spaces ===~~ ~~1. Short term (within the semester): Pop-up design workshops all over~~ submerging a campus~~. Colleges, also ACAC, Old U, etc.~~ ~~2. Medium term (within two years): Permanent Innovation Hubs in multiple departments~~ 3. Stretch goal! Create a permanent, physical innovation space that is not associated with any college or department. A TU Maker Space.
