<br />==Project 1: Mobile Innovation Lab==This project is a spin on the 2019 cohort who pitched the idea of Grand Valley Innovation Bus (GVIB). Aidan Clawson was ran point of the project but unfortunately due to COVID GVIB was never fully executed on Grand Valley's campus. The Mobile Innovation Lab (MIL) would also be a bus that would get a complete make-over. Inside the bus would include different workstations for innovation and entrepreneurship including 3D printers, cabinet space for prototyping materials, tables and chairs for collaboration, and more! The goal of the Mobile Innovation Lab is to help students that are pursuing anything within innovation and entrepreneurship whether that be for a class project or personal hobbies. We would also like to gain more awareness for the innovation club and boost UIF knowledge on campus. The project is also receiving help from former UIF 2019 cohort member Kayla Lett for further insight on the previous plan.

==Project 3: Inspiring Students through I&E by Faculty Education==
<nowiki>*<Throughout our research of campus initiatives related to innovation and entrepreneurship, we realized students are unaware and uninspired to seek out such offerings. Knowing how important the influence of professors upon students is, our problem statement became: How might we empower faculty to develop Innovation & Entrepreneurship mindsets in students at Grand Valley? Integration of I&E into courses not only fosters a more motivational classroom environment but can facilitate career readiness and effectiveness. Our change strategy is to host an educational event of faculty attendance to learn about instilling the I&E mindsets in students. Inspiring Students would be an all day conference with various speakers ranging from Grand Valley faculty, local innovators and entrepreneurs, to successful student startups. The conference will be arranged so that attending faculty can pick and choose which segments to attend. After a successful kickoff event, interested faculty can expect future conferences, personal advising sessions, and a pamphlet with suggested action items/nowiki>summary of project*checklist.
Sophia Raab will run point on this project. It will be ready to start by the faculty summer orientation in 2023.
