== <span style="font-size: large;"><span id="docs-internal-guid-4ea59471-ec18-88e3-205f-1cfb80e7531b"><span style="font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Strategy #1: Bronco Innovation Center</span></span></span> ==
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.6667px; white-space: pre-wrap;">The idea is to introduce a space on campus where students interested in pursuing their own projects or start-ups in the realm of innovation can get help from trained student consultants across disciplines (engineering, business, arts & sciences, law, etc.). The plan would be contigent upon heavy involvement from a faculty champion willing to help train volunteer student consultants. The volunteers would have the opprotunity to gain hands-on experience in many projects within their area of discipline, and would be centrally connected to a great resource to pursue their own ideas. Overall, it would be a student-based support ot the defecit in "pursuit" of innovation on campus. </span>

<span style="font-size: 14.4px;">The quality of many elective classes at SCU are dependent on the content and the professor. The main resources students currently have access to for learning about a class and professor are the student submitted course evaluations or the generally biased reviews from websites like Ratemyprofessors. Students of all majors could formulate a better understanding of an elective course with a video description coming directly from the professor.</span>

<span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span id="docs-internal-guid-ccbac09d-54d5-790e-0a2f-2d9731560e2a"><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">The current SCU site is heavily geared toward potential students instead of current students. Many resources that students do use are specific to career development or relevant to specific academic departments. There are very limited resources outside of general career development tools that inspire and initiate interdisciplinary work among SCU students.</span></span></span></span>
<span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span></span><br/></span></span>
<span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span id="docs-internal-guid-ccbac09d-54d5-790e-0a2f-2d9731560e2a"><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Therefore, our team discovered a need for a centralized site - ideally connected to the SCU site and geared heavily toward current students - in which projects and research conducted by either students or professors could be shared and teams for projects could be created. We thought that a site such as this would create an easy way for students to explore real-world projects through interdisciplinary work among all SCU students from all schools (Engineering, Business, Arts & Sciences, and Law).</span></span></span></span>
