=Fall 2020=
Through the University Innovation Council, students and faculty will be able to grow the I&E movement on campus together, as well as facilitate other movements going forward. This means that they will become more reliant on, and trusting of, each other. If both students and faculty are invested in the same issue and working together to make change happen, Georgia Tech's campus landscape in I&E will continue to grow in the future, which will only perpetuate the success of the I&E campus.
