= '''Video PresentationProblem Statement:''' = Texas Tech University has a vast amount of resources for students to learn about and engage in entrepreneurship and innovation; but most often these resources go unnoticed. A way to interest the student body, faculty, and surrounding lubbock community in innovation and entrepreneurship is crucial in fostering the innovation and entrepreneurial culture that Texas Tech is striving to achieve.
{{#Widget'''Solution Overview:Youtube|id=JgicWR6wN''' Hosting a UIF Regional Meet-M}}Up is a great way to attract attention from students, fellows, and the community, all while showcasing the initiatives that Tech is working towards in I&E. Additionally, having a themed regional meetup is a great way to spark ideas and solutions to some of the problems we are facing in todays society. Bringing together a group of bright minds with similar interests in drive will undoubtedly yield noteworthy results.

While TTU is still in the beginning stages of planning, the chosen theme is “Regional Problems and Ingenious Solutions.” We live in a unique climate and culture of which many standard solutions to community problems aren’t applicable. Not only would Tech gain from a weekend of solution generation, but our community, and attending UIF’s from nearby areas would take home tangible pieces of knowledge and experience.

=== <span style="font-size:larger;">Strategy #6: Help develop the university´s future innovation ecosystem''' '''</span> ===
<span style="font-size:small;">Leadership Circle Representative: [http://universityinnovation.org/wiki/Alfonso_Alarcon#Texas_Tech_student_majoring_in_Industrial_Engineering Alfonso Alarcon]</span>
<span style="font-size:small;">Problem Statement: Texas Tech University has great resources to support students in the business startup process. It has been really challenging to engage college students in Texas Tech´s innovation ecosystem and help them develop an entrepreneurial mindset. More students need to experience that launching a company is a viable career path. There is also a need to develop the future talent that will lead initiatives at the university to support entrepreneurial students. </span>
<span style="font-size:small;">Solution Overview: The Lubbock Chamber of Commerce will launch the Young Entrepreneurs Academy in Lubbock, Texas in October. They want to involve Texas Tech students that have experienced the startup process in the program as mentors to the high school students. The fellows will integrate the program with TTIME (Texas Tech Innovation Mentorship & Entrepreneurship), the entrepreneurship student organization at Tech, to start the mentorship program and to involve high school students in the entrepreneurship events at Tech. </span>
<span style="font-size:small;">Background: The [http://www.yeausa.org/ Young Entrepreneurs Academy] (YEA!), is a program that guides students through the process of starting their own company. Throughout the school year, students attend weekly sessions where they conduct market research, validate their business ideas, develop a business plan, pitch to a panel of community leaders, and some of them start companies. </span>
<span style="font-size:small;">Tactic #1: Desig a new high-impact community service project for Texas Tech students</span>
<span style="font-size:small;">Description: Undergraduate and graduate students will have the opportunity to mentor the students participating in the program. </span>
<span style="font-size:small;">Milestones:</span>
*<span style="font-size:small;">May 2016: Get the Fall 2016 class schedule from the Lubbock Chamber of Commerce to identify relevant information about the learning sessions.</span>
*<span style="font-size:small;">June 2016: Draft a description of the program.</span>
*<span style="font-size:small;">July 2016: Determine the number of student mentors needed per session.</span>
*<span style="font-size:small;">August 2016: Come up with a list of potential mentors that belong to the entrepreneurship student organizations on campus and invite them to apply to the program. Extend invitations to student entrepreneurs to get involved as mentors as well. </span>
*<span style="font-size:small;">September 2016: Conduct interviews to select a small number of mentors. </span>
<span style="font-size:small;">Tactic #2: Operating the program throughout the school year</span>
<span style="font-size:small;">Description: The program will run the whole school year; the academy starts in October and ends in April. The sessions will be scheduled every Tuesday from 4:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. at the Texas Tech Innovation Hub at the Research Park. </span>
<span style="font-size:small;">Milestones:</span>
*<span style="font-size:small;">October 2016: Define the schedule for each mentor and send calendar invites.</span>
*<span style="font-size:small;">October 2016 to April 2017: Participate in the program and recruit a team to support the program logistics. </span>
