Overview
Here at North Dakota State Unversity, we are going to develop a community that lays the framework for Innovation & Entreprenearship. Although events, programs, and resouirces are needed for an entprernerial community to flourish, they are not the most important part of the process. The most important part is the community, and we feel the community has not been given enough attention.
1. Build & Connect the Community
Tactic #1 Hammock Initiative
The best opportunities for entrepreneurship and innovation mean nothing if people aren't involved. We feel that to create a community of entrepreneurs we have to first create a community where people can just be people. That is why one of our main priorities is to bring an organization to campus that will host events where all expectations to be innovative or have creative ideas are eliminated. It's called the Hammock Initiative, or Hi for short and its vision is simple.
We want to see people gathered together for the purpose of relaxing, enjoying each other’s company and, literally, hanging out. This vision may not sound audacious or ambitious, and that’s the point. It’s an opportunity for people to be, not do. - @HiFargo
By getting people together to hammock for the sake of just being, we believe natural conversation where ideas and innovation are born will start all on their own. And with how busy people are, I think we can all agree that some time set aside to relax is needed.
