<span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:times new roman,times,serif;">The innovation challenge is great and opens up many opportunities to the student body. However, it is heavily based on a business plan and requires the proposal to fit in a specific track that is Product, Service, or Corn. Because of this, we are suggesting we rework the criteria for the challenge and look at ways we can get more students involved and promote or collaborate on other school functions such as the Clinton Global Initiative.&ltnbsp;</parsererror&gt;span></span>

<span style="font-family:times new roman,times,serif;"><span style= Tactic #2 Clinton Global Initiative (Updated) =="font-size:medium;">One group was successfully chosen to participate and was very successful at the CGI meeting last spring. One UIF member was part of the winning team in the Hackathon. We are hoping to build upon this success this year.</span></span>

The value in a system like this could be incredible for opening minds, exposing new trends in the business environment to students and also simply networking, yet very few students attend. The system is flawed but the idea is there. One new method would be to change venues base on the department or realm that the speaker is based around, and also changing the mentality. A one hour lecture over a student's lunch is not an ideal manner, for either the student or the professional, yet having it at the tail end of a small intense course would gain results.</span></span>
