=<span style="font-size:xx-large;">Focus #1 </span>= ===UCreate== Innovation Passport =This project would expose students to what it's like to work on diverse teams for projects around the area. Service hours are something many students require for scholarships but some people struggle to find an opportunity to serve. Students want to work with other people majors from their campus and participate in projects that are applicable to what they want to study. With UCreate, students can work on these projects and have a chance to work with students from other majors; also giving them a chance to see what is possible with their degree. Key Tactics: * Students complete a professional personality assessment * Working outside majors on projects that weren't thought to be possible* Chance to do roles on a team that they may have never done before* Increases the community involvement for the Cincinnati area <br/> = 2021 Cohort = =<span style="font-size:xx-large;">Focus #1 </span>= ===Innovation Passport ===
<span style="font-size:larger;"> This innovation passport would encourage students to explore a program that is outside of their own major. We think that this would be incredibly beneficial as students don't have the time to explore their interests outside of their own majors. We know that students want to learn about all these different opportunities and resources on campus so having an incentivized roadmap to help them get there would be the extra push that is needed. This would also be incredibly beneficial to show a diverse and well-rounded portfolio when students are out looking for outside jobs.
