There are many undergrad and grad students that are skeptic of the value of what they receive as education in the university. Also, many graduate and PhD students gravitate towards merely conceptual research endeavors to maintain a place in the community of researchers. By framing “becoming innovative” as a legitimate knowledgeable identity for students, we can evoke the masses’ curiosity about the culture of I&E and encourage them to join the movement.  

'''Tactical: Storytelling'''

*Seminars and workshop series

= Building Upon Existing Assets =

== '''Strategic: Exposure & Awareness''' ==

Increasing student exposure to existing resources on campus to promote awareness

'''Tactical: Increased Presence'''

'''THE FRESH IDEAS CAMPAIGN'''

'''In the fall of 2015, the UI Fellows and candidates conducted a campaign to engage new students and drive awareness about innovation and entrepreneurship. We asked the question "In 2025, what product will UWM students use everyday." We invited people to sumbit their ideas and also participate in workshops to brainstorm innovative new products. The purpose of teh campaign was to engage people who had never before considered I&E at UWM as a part of their college career. By allowing people to submit ideas in a very low risk environment, more people we're interested in what we as a cohort had to offer. '''

The pilot program of the campaign was a success with great room to expand moving forward. In the future the campaign will be a workshop series teaching students ranging anywhere from first year to graduate across diciplines about design thinking and business model canvasing. This way, we will be able to fuel awareness and drive the pipeline of innovation and entrepreneurship at UWM.

== '''Strategic: Interdisciplinary Dialogue''' ==

Sharing the landscape canvas with clubs, faculties, organizations, studios, etc. in favor of encouraging interdisciplinary interaction.

'''Tactical: [major]explore[majors] events'''

*e.g. ArchiMath Ideation Competition, ArchiPhysics Ideation Competition, ArchiChemi Ideation Competition, ArchiEE Ideation Competition, ArchiPsych Ideation Competition, ArchiME Ideation Competition, ArchiBioMed Ideation Competition, etc.

== '''Strategic: Sense of Community''' ==

I&E sub-communities on campus need to shape a greater community in order to increase communication, support, and productivity

'''Tactical: UIFs and Sub-communities'''

*UIFs can reach out to existing I&E-related organizations, clubs, faculty, groups, etc. and share their mission and goals with them. Gradually, we can create a larger community with a common language that is self-aware of its existence and is able to make change in larger scale.

== Strategic: Resource Map ==

= Creating New Opportunities  =

== '''Strategic: Empowering Campus Crossroads''' ==

Campus crossroads are places where most serendipitous encounters occur.

'''Tactical: Identifying and leveraging existing crossroads on campus and creating opportunities for I&E-related discussions and activities'''

*I&E Landscape Kiosk in the Student Union*I&E Hub in the Library

== Virtual Reality Headset and Software ==

We could start the potential planning of a student run venture capital fund by, 1) interviewing students to see the need for business idea funding, 2) conduct interviews with the students at Marquette university, 3) Talk to the people at our school that already have money to distribute, and see if they have any feedback, 4) Look at the track record for how many students have gotten or needed funding in the past. 5) Create a plan for gaining donations for the venture fund, 6) Find out the structure and logistical information about holding money at a university.<o:p></o:p>

== '''Strategic: Think Outside the Campus's Box''' ==

Milwaukee is a great city with a wide range of resources. We need to plug into these resources and use the energy that is generated in the city.

'''Tactical: Involving the City in & Involving in the City'''

*Finding sponsors for Case Competitions*Creating internship opportunities*Exploring sites in the city that has social or ecological potential and value which can be used to the benefit of people, local businesses, etc.
