Overview

Fall 2019: Bridging Communication with Campus Leadership

Fall 2018: Spreading Innovation Across the Disciplines

Strategy #1: Increase Innovation and Entrepreneurship Across All Disciplines

Create a design and innovation workshop for professors and faculty from all departments to teach them how to bring innovation into their classes.

Offer project ideas that blend professor's subjects and innovation
Offer Innovation and Entrepreneurship based courses in more departments

Create an online innovation module that professors can give to their students that teaches them about innovation in regards to the class they are taking.

Add a Canvas module that address innovation and entrepreneurship related to their class
Include a design project where students can gain real world innovation practice

Strategy #2: Increase Innovation in Sustainability on Campus

Host a Make-A-Thon around the Topic of Sustainability

Host a Make-A-Thon on campus open to all students asking them to come up with an innovative solution to a sustainability issue
Before the event begins, have students learn about the design thinking process
Offer a reward to incentivize students to participate, perhaps offer seed funding for winning idea

Integrate Design Thinking into Sustainability Courses

Offer a workshop to faculty about how they can integrate design thinking in regards to their sustainability courses
Encourage staff members to incorporate a project or competition to solve a problem in their curriculum
Measure effectiveness of workshop by following up with faculty

Strategy #3: Repurposing a Space on Campus to Foster Innovation

Building a space for cooperative innovation and new ideas.

Students would have to complete an online training module to participate in the space.
Space would have resources needed for innovation and entreprenurial ideas.
There would be a design team, made of students, to help create, brainstorm, and ideate innovative thoughts.

Strategy #4: Creating a Canvas Page with all Resources Available to Students on Campus.

By educating all freshman and inoming students about the resources they have to voice their opinions, get academic aid, career help, and all other resources, will make the campus a better place for all.
The page will be added to the Freshman Year Experience class, so all freshman and incoming students will learn about their resources the University of St. Thomas provides.
Instead of structural change, we are improving the current resources available by educating students.

Strategy #5: Creating a Value-based connection.

Platform dedicated to incoming Tommies or Tommies seeking a linkedin-type experience, without the high stakes atmosphere linkedin users tend to perceive.
The platform would promote social connectivity through values instead of interests. Something that other socials fail to do.
Unbundled LinkedIn and de-fragmented UST resource page.
Get students to form relationships with others they wouldn’t have before and which go beyond their time at UST.

Strategy #6: UST Pop-Ups

“Pop Up” shops would appear on campus to engage students in a variety of ways.
Participating organizations would range from showcasing on-campus events (Fowler) to hosting local nonprofits.
Pop Ups would provide a space to incubate student discussion and connection.

-This course will empower students to take their innovations and marketing plans to the next level and implement them into a viable and fundable enterprise. Students will create a prototype to be presented as a proof-of- concept with a compelling presentation to an angel investor. In addition students will be introduced to issues related to the patent process and angel investment process as it relates to their innovations.

-'''Academic Integrity:'''
-In the process of conducting scientific work an attitude of trust and honesty is essential for all participants. In the physics department we have an honor code. We expect you to behave honorably in all aspects of your life. This means that we trust you. For example, you are free to leave the room during a test without asking me. We take our honor code very seriously, so a breach of this trust has severe consequences. Cheating – in any form – is grounds for dismissal from the course with a grade of F. More significantly, cheating would damage the trust I have in you. Don’t jeopardize this trust. Keep in mind that I respect the effort you put into the class, regardless of your grade. When working on homework I expect you to communicate with each other, but all tests are to be conducted entirely on your own.
-&nbsp;
-''Over the years, you will probably forget much of what you learn in this class, and the grades you receive will not be as important in the future as they seem to be now. However, the character you forge will be with you forever.''
-&nbsp;
-All students are expected understand and follow the University of St. Thomas policies on Academic Integrity. These are described at: [http://www.stthomas.edu/policies/student_policy_book/ http://www.stthomas.edu/policies/student_policy_book/] Academic_rights_and_procedures.asp
-'''Students with Disabilities:'''
-Academic accommodations will be provided for qualified students with documented disabilities including but not limited to mental health diagnoses, learning disabilities, Attention Deficit Disorder, chronic medical conditions, visual, mobility, and hearing disabilities. Students are invited to contact the Disability Resources office about accommodations early in the semester. Appointments can be made by calling 651-962-6315 or in person in Murray Herrick, room 110. For further information, you can locate the Disability Resources office on the web at [http://www.stthomas.edu/enhancementprog/.&nbsp http://www.stthomas.edu/enhancementprog/.&amp;nbsp];
