= 2019 Strategy # 2 UC Student I&E committee =
As identified by Innovation Fellow Amannda Huot, disjointed of resources inhibits uninitiated students to experience I&E opportunities. Where a strong, student-led Innovation committee of students would be incredibly beneficial in promoting the various entrepreneurship resources. Where this student-led innovation committee effectively takes on managerial and promotion responsibilities of I&E on campus. During our research on the current ecosystem we noticed many past on campus I&E projects since 2018 are now inactive. We recognized the importance of continuity of I&E projects, this highlights the importance of updating and maintenance of projects on a timely manner as well as recognizing currently active students will eventually graduate and thus selecting successor is a key step to preserve and further growth of I&E culture. We propose an update on Student Led Innovation Committee that specifically address the issue of ongoing maintenance. Considering UC has assigned staff to manage I&E resources on campus, an I&E taskforce consisting of student representatives and professional staffs is a way to directly manage and control I&E resources, promotion and projects. However, we believe the bottom-up student approach should be maintained in order to maintain that student perspective. However, university staff can select or offer the student representative position to students deemed capable and passionate. With periodic meeting and reports to ensure ongoing maintenance and updates.

== Selecting student representatives. An issue the current clubs and societies faced by the university is that some presidents in the club only wanted to obtain the title to display in CV. Selecting student representatives can be conducted by open offer to students and/or selecting passionate students. Regularly meeting should be set between university staff and the student representatives to ensure project and goals are successfully implemented.==

However changeovers are necessary and should be conducted on a yearly basis to ensure long-term sustainability and longevity of I&E culture on campus.
