Following are an array of strategies that will fully address Gap #2 over a 2-3 year period:
== <h2> Tactic #1: Entrpreneurship Entrepreneurship Mentoring Program ==</h2>*<ul><li>The [http://admin.vancouver.wsu.edu/cba Cougar Business Alliance] marks the beginnings of mentoring opportunities. #160; It is a network of WSU alumni who have experienced success as entrepreneurs and have remained in the community. #160; The network consists of multiple fields ranging from restaurant owners, to web and media designers, and engineers who’ve created a business around a product they invented. #160; The small business owners already connected to entrepreneurship and still involved in the ecosystem to this degree offer the opportunity to create student connection with students interested in following the same career path. #160; An Entrepreneurship Mentoring Program would allow for community involvement appealing to the newly designated Innovation Partnership Zone in Vancouver and more chances for exposure to the real business world through internships. #160; This type of program would address the gap of reframing of entrepreneurship on campus by taking the idea of entrepreneurship out of a university setting and placing it in the market. #160; It would also offer invaluable experience in professional self-marketing and salesmanship and create possible investment networks for all participants.  #160;*</li><li>Team Leader: TBD*</li><li>Milestones: TBD</li></ul>
