Strategy #1: Increase Communication Between Students in Different Departments
Sample Text
Strategy #2: Boost Interdepartmental Communication Between Faculty
Require tenured faculty to take one class per academic year (not including sabbatical years) outside of their discipline/ department
- The marketing research program in the business school at UW-Madison will research campus classes for professors with linkages to their area of interest outside of their discipline
- A list of classes will be provided to the academic school, and college program heads responsible for the 20 academic centers around campus
- Professors will be required to explore at least four different departments before exploring a class in a department they've previously interacted with as a part of this requirement.
Create a buddy system between departments
- Ask departments to volunteer to become program-to-program buddies
- Require departments to list key resources and whether they are abundant, sufficient or scarce in nature
- Match programs to be buddies by balancing resources where this is an abundance in one department and scarcity in the other.
Strategy #3: Create Clearer Pathways to Finding Valuable Mentorship
Distinguished Lunches
- The Weinert Center for Entrepreneurship holds Distinguished Entrepreneur Lunches regularly on campus.
- The idea of expanding these "Distinguished Lunches" to involve more cross-disciplinary faculty could prove beneficial in involving a wider range of students across campus.
- The students that get involved with meeting these entrepreneurs and local businessmen, the easier it will be for these students to form important networks.
Social Network for Mentor Matching
- Create a social network platform where mentors and students alike can create profiles. This could create an environment where it is much easier to put yourself out there for potential mentors to see.
- Possibly create a questionnaire that matches students and mentors with similar interests and life goals.
