<div>        Something that our landscape canvas revealed about Santa Clara University was that there was a clear gap when it comes to pursuing a startup venture and applying the innovative and designskills into areal and practical sense. Being in the heart of the Silicon Valley and sitting on top of many valuable resources, SCU does not do enough to foster the development of student-driven startups and fails to encourage collaboration and experimentation across different disciplines within the Business, Engineering and Arts and Science schools.</div><div>         To remedy this, we outlined a startup competition which pairs students from multiple disciplines as well as industry professionals and professors to organize an idea and bring it into a real, physical startup. This would be a yearlong commitment where most of Fall Quarter would be spent in the team and skill building phase. Students would organize amongst themselves and pitch startup ideas to industry professionals/professors who are interesting in providing their expertise to those ideas to fruition. After teams organize themselves, Winter quarter would be where the idea finally transcends into a real startup. Teams would develop business strategies, produce prototypes of their product or service, develop marketing tools, create a distribution system and search for potential investors. School funding aswell as resources such as the MakerLab wouldbe accessible to students to eliminate any financial risks and apprehension. Finally, by the end of Spring Quarter, students would present their startup and be judged by industry professionals, potentially having their ideas and talent taken beyond the campus confinements and into either a company or on their own as a fully functional startup.</div>

= <~~span~~ u style="font-size: ~~x-large~~12px;">STRATEGY #4: Reinventing the Career FairRelated Links</~~span> =~~ == Tactic:  Removing company names</spanu> ==         The Nameless Career Fair. This is the idea that students should be able to pursue the job of their dreams without being distracted by the lure of big company names. Companies will also be able to figure out who actually wants the job instead of the name. This is able to solve both problems by taking a nontraditional approach. Although this is a nontraditional approach, this could greatly benefit the students as they do not need to feel restricted and are more easily able to say no to jobs that they are not interested in pursuing. This will hopefully create many more jobs and make students a lot happier in their job.         The students will be given a list of job positions instead of company names. This will encourage students to read the job descriptions and actually see if they are interested in the position rather than the company name. This helps create a more conducive environment for job hunting as students are less stressed going through the process. ~~<div> </div>~~<div>~~ Related Links~~
