I would try to figure out how they combated this issue and use their findings to towards solving the retention rate problem here. With regards to the retention rate, I will be solely focusing on students remaining at mills on the weekend and the overall comfortability that students have in this institution. Although Mills has a larger problem with students re-enrolling into the school I believe that is out of my jurisdiction for now. I would first like to focus on students finding enjoyment on the campus before solving the issue of students returning. I am approaching retention in this manner with the hope that solving the first issue with put a spark in solving the second issue.  Before approaching this issue I plan to continue doing research into what is already being implemented here and work alongside those that have noticed this issue and are devoted to finding a solution to this problem. After hearing the responses from the students and finding more research into the problem I would like the bring issue to the whole student in our student forum, which is our electronic daily newsletter. Having the whole school notified about this student and cause students who want to be involved in the innovation project to step forward. This will allow Mills students to find even more unity by solving this issue together which again might positively affect the retention rate.  <span style="font-size: 10.5pt; font-family: 'Open Sans'; color: rgb(29, 33, 38); background-color: transparent; font-weight: 700; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">

Your research will be most robust in this section (Discover, Learn and Experiment), related to "Promoting student innovation and entrepreneurship."</li>

<li><span style="font-size: 10.5pt; background-color: transparent; font-weight: 700; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Encouraging faculty innovation and entrepreneurship: <span style="font-size: 10.5pt; background-color: transparent; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">While it doesn't seem as though it directly impacts you, the extent to which faculty are encouraged to innovate and pursue entrepreneurial pathways really does help determine the extent to which they will encourage students to explore their innovative and entrepreneurial potential. Encouragement at the faculty level is one of the things that differentiates more developed I&E ecosystems. Under the "Encouraging faculty innovation and entrepreneurship" category, please provide a succinct view of whether faculty are supported to be entrepreneurial or commercialize their research.</li>

Include this overview in "Actively supporting the university technology transfer function". If your school doesn't have a technology transfer office, you can skip this section.</li>

Many campuses also have an economic development office and staff whose responsibility it is to leverage the University's research and development for positive local economic benefit.</li>
