Our campus has a lot of resources and a lot of people doing truly exciting work, however there is no centralized information bulletin board for I&E things. This will be our attempt to coordinate this and create a weekly digital Newsletter that we can have that goes out to all students on our mailing list as well as being disseminated through our leadership circle and other faculty and administrators who support our cause.
= Strategy #5: I&E Certificate Program and Curriculum<br/> =
== Tactic #1: Innovator and Entrepreneur Certificate ==
This is an incentive program where students can be rewarded for participation in I&E activities on campus and also use it as a resume builder. We want students to think outside the box, but sometimes a little nudge is needed and this might be just the incentive to get students to participate in both the extracurricular programs as well as the courses offered in the various schools. This certificate can be rewarded by the UWM Research Foundation so it is not truly an academic certificate but it is still supported by a reputable segment of our campus.
== Tactic #2: Graduate Certificate in Entrepreneurship ==
Create an official Graduate Certificate in Entrepreneurship. Many of our graduate students are participating in research which sometimes spurs into new ventures that transpire through our Technology Transfer Office or Research Foundation while other graduate students are pursuing ventures of their own. These ambitions should be rewarded and acknowledged. In a similar manner to our Undergraduate Certificate in Entrepreneurship, the graduate certificate would require students to take select courses that provide them the basic skills they would need, such courses could include:
*Product Realization
*Lean Launch Pad
*Innovation and Commercialization
*Entrepreneurship
*Introduction to Entrepreneurship and Small Business Formation
*Venture Finance
*Marketing Research
*Business to Business Sales and Marketing
*Business Modeling of New Venture
*Entrepreneurship Internship through Research Commercialization (New idea)
<br/>
The Entrepreneurship Internship through Research Commercialization could be a course where students who are working with a faculty member or by themselves and they are trying to commercialize an idea and pursue a new venture or business could receive academic credit, due to experiential learning by doing.
