==Fall 2019 Cohort = = === Priority 1: Increase Networking Between Students and Faculty === = = = '''Networking Lecture Series ft. Faculty in your College''' '''Project Lead:''' Alex Bybee '''BYU Potential Project Supporters:''' '''''Dean Madrian, President Worthin ''''' '''Project Description:''' Many student are unaware of the opportunities that come from networking with faculty, and if they do know they often feel uncomfortable reaching out. In order to create more opportunities for students and to help teachers empathize more with students we will create a lecture series class for campus networking. Each college will host a lecture series that features faculty who are willing to (brag) talk about their professional life and current research. At the conclusion of their lecture the teacher will explain how they might be able to help students find or create career paths in their area of expertise.  '''Key Tactics:'''<ul style="color: rgb(34, 34, 34); font-family: Arial,Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; padding-right: 40px; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;"><li>Hold focus groups with students from all the different majors to learn if this is beneficial everywhere across campus</li><li>Interview teacher to see if they agree to the efficacy of this idea</li><li>prototype an evening lecture about on campus networking and its importance. get feedback</li><li>Create curriculum and syllabus for the class. </li></ul><div class="gs" style="color: rgb(34, 34, 34); font-family: Roboto,RobotoDraft,Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif; font-size: medium; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; orphans: 2; padding-bottom: 20px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; width: 950px; word-spacing: 0px;"><div class="ii gt" id=":o8" style="direction: ltr; font-size: 0.87rem; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 8px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; position: relative;"><div class="a3s aXjCH" id=":o7" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: small; font-stretch: normal; line-height: 1.5; overflow: hidden;"></div></div></div>=== === Priority 2: Creating Opportunities for Experiential Learning === = = = '''Class Field Trips'''<div dir="ltr" style="color: rgb(34, 34, 34); font-family: Arial,Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;"><div>Project Lead: Emma Stratton BYU Potential Project Supporters: Dean Madrian, President Worthin, Matt Durden   Project Idea: Requiring 300 level classes to participate in one field trip per semester and do a project related to the field trip.  The intention is to allow students to see real world problems related to their field and apply the skills they are learning.   Key Tactics: Meet with Deans of a few schools to get the idea supported Present field trip and project ideas to 300 level professors Meet with a few 300 level professors who would be willing to test it for one semester Attend field trips and preview projects Survey students and teachers to receive feedback Slowly implement field trips into other classes</div></div>=== === Priority 3: Increase Collaborative Spaces on Campus  === ===<div style="color: rgb(34, 34, 34); font-family: Arial,Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">'''Glass Box for group study and projects'''</div>Project Lead: Kyle Macdonald  BYU Potential Project Supporters:  Mat Duerden & Tim W McClain  Project Description: My goal is to create an outdoor study area for the students of BYU than gives them a new, invigorating experience. This study area will be an insulated room that is made of thick, transparent glass. The room will provide students with the BYU outdoor study experience while being protected from the weather (snow, rain, etc.); and it will also provide a group study area in natural light along with the ambiance of not being crowded into a building. Ventilation will come from the floor, connected to the pipes and tunnels under the university. Electricity for night time study groups will be solar-powered. The room will be reserved via an online reservation platform. Inside you will find a large (white or blue) study table that is elevated and has differentiating colored stools. Power outlets will be available on the table through circuit wires that come from an electrical connection in the ground. Small windows may be opened by sliding, and there will also be a sliding door. Preferably, this study room will be a BYU grass area that has some landscaping surrounding it and also has a pathway that leads straightway to the door.  Key Tactics:  <ul style="color: rgb(34, 34, 34); font-family: Arial,Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px; orphans: 2; padding-right: 40px; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;"><li>Perform a 3D model with proper metrics that I have taken from multiple areas throughout campus </li><li>Perform financial analysis for the project </li><li>Perform interviews for possible stakeholders </li></ul> === === Priority 4: Increase Collaborative Spaces on Campus  === = = = '''Faculty Mentors in the Business School''' Project Lead: Brooke Sprencer BYU Potential Project Supporters:  Dean Madrian, President Worthen, Paula Project Description: In the Mariott Business School, faculty will be paired with students as mentors throughout their Junion and Senior year.
