~~'''~~~~Overall Goal~~Long Term (fall semester 2020): Have the extracurriculars online and part of the source selection plan. Have the classes be worth 3-4 hours and have grades.~~'''~~

~~The desire is that one day the University of Tulsa will brim with students pursuing new solutions~~ Connecting Student Groups to ~~existing problems~~ Companies in ~~their academic, social, and professional lives because of~~ the ~~impact~~Region''' ===

The University of Tulsa has a number of marvelous number of resources for students to take advantage of. There are a handful of highly educated and extremely motivated faculty who are available to help students in any venture they may engage in. However so, these resources may be limited and some student organizations may need additional guidance to succeed.

==== Goals and Desired Outcomes ====

'''Strategic Priority Two: '''~~Growing institutional I&E from~~ One strategic priority that we hold dear to our hearts is establishing a program to connect Investors and local businesses to students to enable the ~~bottom-up~~flow of resources and mentorship. We strongly believe that connecting students to large companies will be highly beneficial for several reasons.

~~The goal of this priority is~~ First, and most interestingly, companies in the area will be granted access to ~~grow I&E among~~ the information of studentsstudying Innovation and Entrepreneurship. ~~We specifically want~~ They will be encouraged to ~~target~~ hire students ~~from academic backgrounds~~ to tackle major challenges that ~~are not exposed to I&E very much. How can we incorporate this for students do not necessarily~~ the companies may have ~~the time to take whole courses that are unrelated to their major? Our project to approach this is pop-up classes~~. ~~These classes~~ Companies will ~~allow students~~ be incentivized to ~~learn about something~~ provide guidance as they ~~find interesting in an interactive and creative way. Furthermore, these classes~~ will ~~incorporate design thinking through prototype projects linked~~ have access to some of the ~~subject being taught~~most intelligent and capable pupils.~~ ~~

~~''Short~~Secondly, we would like to connect students with ~~a professor~~ ideas to these companies so they may have connections and ~~finding~~ such when preparing to launch or grow their companies. Initial funding in exchange for equity would be a ~~common interest~~major key to leading student companies to success. ~~Get feedback and find what topics~~ The hope is that companies as such will encourage staff to assist students ~~would take~~ with any issues they may have. For example, say a student needs legal guidance, a ~~pop-class on~~company lawyer can provide basic guidance and resources to help that student.

~~''Mid~~Third, we hope that companies would allow students to ~~incorporate pop-up classes into curriculum starting~~ tour their establishments and demonstrate how they operate. Students will become much more engaged with ~~one class~~their studies as they can observe how applicable what they are learning is in the real world.

~~''Long~~Fourth, our goal~~:'' Several pop-up classes are offered~~ is to encourage companies to invest in student organizations by providing gear and ~~students can receive 1 credit for each class they take~~supplies that is relative to their industry. ~~Furthermore~~Additionally, ~~these classes~~ companies would be ~~available for various different majors so~~ encouraged to fund excursions to conferences and other events related to the field that the ~~design mentality~~ company is ~~spread throughout campus and not too specific disciplines~~in.~~  ~~

As the University of Tulsa is located in Tulsa Oklahoma, many of the largest companies in the area tend to be oil and gas companies. Companies we aim to partner with include QuikTrip, BOK, OneOK, ONE Gas, Phillips 66 and the Ross Group.

=== '''Project Four: Space and resources sponsorships''' ===

The goal is to allocate innovation spaces on campus that are funded and sponsered by local companies that are also supporters of innovation.

~~ ~~'''~~Strategic Priority Three~~Short term: '''~~Spreading awareness of I&E resources~~Locating available spaces on campus

~~Without the awareness of resources, how do we expect students to be able to start or even finish projects? In order to allow students to tap into their full innovative and entrepreneurial potential, they must be aware of resources that could help them start '''Contacting local companies and ~~further their projects. In order to increase the awareness on campus, we plan on the following:recriting potental contributors

~~~~''~~Short-~~'Long term ~~Goal~~: ''~~Begin drafting a map or brochure with all~~ 'Having materials/supplies sponsered by local companies within our innovation spaces. Having companies design the Iroom around what they believe would benefit students.&~~E resources available and their respective locations.~~nbsp;

=== ~~ '''Overall Goal~~Project One:~~'''~~Innovation Spaces===

~~The goal is that~~ 1. Short term (within the ~~impact of spreading awareness of innovation resources will~~semester): Pop-up design workshops all over campus. Colleges, ~~in turn~~also ACAC, ~~allow students to accomplish their goals and see their projects through to the end~~Old U, ~~along with increasing the amount of students creating~~etc.</~~being involved in projects.~~span>

~~'''Strategic Priority Four: '''Increasing I&E through extracurricular activities~~Permanent Innovation Hubs in multiple departments

3. Stretch goal! Create a permanent, physical innovation space that is not associated with any college or department. A TU Maker Space. Build a place to collaborate with students from all majors to solve problems at TU, in Tulsa, the world. Enact social change, practice tech entrepreneurship, participate in national competitions. Make innovation, entrepreneurship, and prototyping resources available for all students. Consult local orgs (36 Degrees North, Fab Lab Tulsa, etc.) to help design this space. === Project Two: Foster Connections === Create more connections between TU students and Tulsa entrepreneurs, incubators, resources. #Arrange visits to TU from more Tulsa startup leaders.
