<<span style="background-color: transparent;font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; white-space: pre-wrap; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">I believe that the first step to make the campus more innovative and entrepreneural is the improvement of interconnectivity. In order to achieve that, my idea targets a specific problem that the campus has experienced throughout the years of digital communication, which is campus event emails. Therefore, the solution is to create an app that integrates functions from the original Union College app, but engages better with the users by having the newsfeed showing the most recent events and annoncements from clubs, departments, and communities around campus without having your email clustered with random messages. So the app will not only show what is happening around campus, but also show you your class schedules, class location, grades, dining schedules, and so much more that the original app has, but is not user friendly enough and is not designed well.</div>span>

In order college) to achieve thatfirst create a muse website powered by wordPress, my idea targets a specific problem that which would allow users to input their message to the campus . I believe this would work because Union College has experienced throughout a subscription to wordPress and the years creation of digital communication, which is campus event emailsa simple website wouldn't require high maintenance. ThereforeFurthermore, the solution is to create creating an app that integrates functions from is of higher maintenance, but by using the same original Union College app, but engages better with we would just work on styling and designing; and adding a the users by having newsfeed function within the newsfeed showing app to show the most recent events and annoncements or announcements posted from clubsthe muse website through their API. Laslty, departments, and communities around campus without having your email clustered we would also work with random messagesthe student forum to strategically iterate the design of the product. So the app will not only show what is happening around campusThus, but also show you your class schedules, class location, gradesthis solution would be low cost, dining schedulesrealistic, and so much more that it would definately change the original app hasway our campus gets informed. Therefore, but this project is not user friendly enough reinvigorates campus interconnectivity and the spirit of entrepreneurship and is not designed wellinnovation.</span></span>
