<span style="font-size:medium;">In order to keep the momentum of the University Innovation Fellows Program on-campus, current fellows should have at least one mentee an academic year or more lower than them. In these mentee relationships, it will be the responsibility of the fellow to share knowledge and resources that the underclassman fellow will need to make an impact during their time here, while also keeping the program active.</span>

<span style="font-size:xx-large;"></span><span style="font-size: xx-large;"><span style="font-size:medium;">I plan on first creating effective ways for promoting KEEN and exactly what KEEN's goals are. I also hope to promote KEEN events at a greater level. Currently, our campus hosts KEEN Innovation Challenges each semester that introduce students to innovation through a series of new challenges. Secondly, I will work with the T.J. Smull College of Engineering to establish the Grand Challenge Scholars Program on-campus. Currently, the college of engineering has the EPICS program which gives students an opportunity for experiential learning and earn credit towards their coursework. I hope to pair the GCSP with the EPICS program. I will </span></span><span style="font-size: medium;">also conduct </span><span style="font-size: medium;">research to see if EPICS can be taken by non-engineering majors, as well as, seeing if the EPICS courses can count as a general education requirement that can help students meet their core requirements, while having the opportunity to practice innovation and entrepreneurship. Lastly, I plan on establishing the UIF pilot program to recruit future UIF candidates and ensure that the momentum the University Innovation Fellows Program has on Ohio Northern's campus continues. Once, ONU has a team of UIF fellows from all of the colleges, the other projects mentioned in the previous sections can be enacted.</span>
