== Strategy #1: ________Integrate Entrepreneurship into Culture<br/> ==

*Description [250 words Students at RHIT show interest in being challenged and being able to use their creativity to solve complex problem. Currently, Engineers without Borders provides an excellent venue for students to become involved in social entrepreneurship. Teaching students in a class setting will further spark the interest in social entrepreneurship. A high percentage of engineering students at RHIT want their work to be ethically sound and provide a positive impact on why the world, whether this strategy will solve this gap on your campus]be socially or environmentally.&nbsp; *Team Leader::Katelyn Stenger

If course cannot be offered in Spring, work on Fall quarter. === Tactic #2: StartUp Startup Stories ===

[250 words on why this strategy Many students express interest in entrepreneurship but need the edge to make that jump. Stories, when told well, are interesting, funny, upsetting, unusual, and most importantly MEMORABLE. Stud nets need to hear stories how others have failed, how they have preserved, and how they have succeeded. Entrepreneurs will solve this gap on your campus]provide excellent background to their own struggles when creating a venture.&nbsp; The Startup Stories will be similar to how a speaker series will be set up. There will be an audience sitting and a speaker talking at the front of the room. To encourage more interaction between the audience and the speaker, the stage will be small - similar to a small concert venue. Seats will be crowded around the stage. Away from the speaker, food and drinks will be available. After each speaker, the audience and the speaker will break for 15 to 20 minutes to network and talk with the speaker and ask questions directly.

If dates, funding or speakers do not work out, plan for the fall. === Tactic #3:Work shop Presentation on Patents and Workshop SEED Grant Funding ===

Description [250 words Many students may have excitment with an idea and research they have conducted through Independent Projects / Research Oppurtunity Projects (IP/ROP). They may have ideas on why how to make this strategy research marketable, but do not have the knowledge to start. A workshop at the end of each quarter, after the End-of-Quarter Symposium for the IP/ROP may be helpful to provide insight on how to utilize research to get the ideas patented. Free resources that can aid in the initial paperwork of the paten process will be provided. Also, providing a contact for students to a lawyer or an appropriate faculty member for patent review will solve this gap on your campus]be benificial.

In addition to Patents, students will need to know how to get their startups well... started. Financially, SEED Grants can aid in these student ventures. A workshop on how to get SEED Grant Funding will provide the resources and the first steps to starting the process. In the workshop, students will understand what SEED Funding is, what it can do for students, how it can be used, and how to apply for it. This workshop should be offered in the spring quarter at RHIT, when students are just finishing up research and possibly solidifying patents. In addition, the school year will be ending. So, time for writing this hefty document will be available for aspiring individuals. Team Leader:: RISE Club - Bryce FilhoIP/ROP member TBD
