== <span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">Campus Overview</span> ==

Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis, commonly known as IUPUI, was established in 1969, is a public research-based university. IUPUI is just starting to break the surface of Innovation and Entrepreneurship (I&E). Though there are independent efforts in this space, including classes, student organiationsorganizations, and competitions, there is no unified strategy to promote an I&E culture.We have the seeds of I&E sown around our campus in the form of classes and competitions we really don't have a firm basis of base for innovation. There have been discussions across all levels of the campus community about the best ways to promote I&E, and the changing climate locally, nationally, and globally, coupled with the right people in the right roles across campus indicate that the time is right to take action toward developing I&E culture for the campus.

It has proven difficult to garner sustained interest. In 2017, a new student organization, The Brain Trust, was formed to provide education and an environment for students to bring ideas into action. The small group of students kickstarted the planning stages amonst amongst faculty to develop a lasting entrepreneurial structure on campus; they hoped to continue to bring students from fragmented backgrounds and disciplines together to focus on singular projects to improve and contribute to IUPUI.</p><br/>In an effort to initiate the improvement of IUPUI's current innovative mindset, The Brain Trust's first goal was to apply to the University Innovation Fellows program to gain the knowledge and know how to most effectively change the campus landscape. The Brain Trust met our current faculty champion, Youngbuk Youngbok Hong, who cared deeply about the innovative culture on our champion. The Brain Trust merged with University Innovation Fellows, the and the Visual Communication Design department to form IDEA (Innovation, Design, Entrepreneurship, Action) Fellows. Throughout 2019, we have the team has continued to improve the culture of innovation on our campus's innovation culture. We hosted the The first Design Sprint working alongside the Mayor's office to help solve issues in our communitywas hosted by the team. We continue Continuing to participate take part in the UIF mission, and countless more inspired many additional students have joined our to support the cause..
