George Mason has a TEDx program that hosts muliplte speakers in addition to an anual conference. Inviting a successful entrepreneur/startup in the DC area, or a Mason alum to give a talk would be an excellent way to inspire students.

<span style="font-family: tahoma, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: largemedium;">Innovation requires collaboration. Creating and running a company requires brining in diverse skill sets to complete a variety of different tasks. Why keep students within their respective schools for most of their college careers then?</span>
<span style="font-family: tahoma, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: largemedium;">Many majors have senoior capstone or design courses, and while these are useful and often times require a few years of experience and knowledge to complete, it may be worth while to create an early stage design class. This one will be interdisciplinary, with the intention of forging creative and strong relationships with different schools and majors early on.</span>

<span style="font-size: medium;">This idea was inspired by successful projects at other schools. This institution would operated as a quasi-business under control of the university. Students would be selected through a hiring process and work on projects in three main categories:</span>
<font size="3">Students can earn money, develop connections, and build a portfolio that will help secure successful jobs upon graduation. It also serves as a focal point for others who lack programming experience to seek out assistance on projects and business ideas. Foreign students have much to gain as well, as their visas prohibit work outside of the school. Because this would be a part of the university, we can provide solid, career related work.</font>
