=Fall 2019 = Priority One = = Priority Two = = Priority Three = = Priority Four = Fall 2015 The Stanford Innovation and Entrepreneurship Landscape Canvas is full of opportunities.  Stanford University strives for innovation and creativity.  Students have opportunities to innovation and entrepreneurship to the next levels with perceived value aspects ("Student, I&E is important.  Make it a priority."), potential value aspects ("So, you want to learn more?"), applied value aspects ("You want to apply your knowledge to a specific project."), realized value aspects ("You have effectively engaged in I&E."), and reframing value aspects ("You have fine-tuned your understanding of I&E and reframed your approach to your education and career.").  Stanford University, like most innovative campuses, are stronger in some areas of I&E values in comparison to others.

Stanford University's strengths lie in the overwhelming spirit of entrepreneurship on campus. As many people say, innovation is in the air. Stanford also has many tangible resources that provide force behind innovation and entreprenership, including venture spaces on and associated with our campus.  Some of these include:

While these resources are utilized by many students, there is certainly room for improvement, namely in students discovering these resources earlier in the year. Not all incoming students realize that entrepreneurship and innovation are an option or even important or interesting. A couple of our main goals for I&E projects include getting more students involved in deeper relationships with other like-minded students, and allowing more students to be exposed to topics such as design thinking.

=== Option Two: Pop-up Classes ===

This is already implemented in part by the d.school. These classes ([http://dschool.stanford.edu/classes/http://dschool.stanford.edu/classes/]) are already pretty popular, and are admit by application only. This provides a possible barrier to students who are simply looking for an introduction to design thinking. There can be more pop-up classes added, and perhaps ones specifically geared towards inexperienced students (along the line of IntroSems ([https://undergrad.stanford.edu/programs/introsems https://undergrad.stanford.edu/programs/introsems]) but more open to a variety of grade levels). 

=== Option Three: Workshops ===

Fall 2015/Winter 2016 - Idea implementation - first user cohort

= Co-Ed Entrepreneurship Fraternity =

Description: Sigma Eta Pi was founded at UCLA in 2010. The current chapters and alumni have many ventures in Silicon Valley and Silicon Beach. The brothers of SEP have a variety of startups and successes ranging from a clothing brand to a startup backed by Y-Combinator, with another acquired by Square for 90 Million dollars. There is a wide variety of interests and backgrounds already existing in SEP. Stanford has a wide array of clubs and activities for the entrepreneurial person, but what it lacks is a brotherhood. Stanford needs more than a club. In a club there is certain amount of people and level of commitment, but at the end of the day it is just that - a club. A brotherhood allows one to know the members on a deeper level. Most students upon graduation more closely identify with a national level organization, such as the Society of Women Engineers or a fraternity/sorority. A brotherhood would enhance the entrepreneurial community here at Stanford by creating a stronger network of people. This particular organization has the benefits of having two solidly established chapters in which Stanford would enhance the already rich alumni and membership base.

= Impact =

Introducing these two flagship ideas will provide two unique outlets for student entrepreneurship. This is valuable because it allows students who are new or intrigued by design thinking and entrepreneurship to get their feet wet, and provide a close network and brotherhood with those students ready for a new level of entrepreneurship.
