'''Survey with Lucky Draw via Mass Email''' [[File:Survey Poster.png|thumb|388x388px|Online Survey with Lucky Draw]]To understand students' needs in life planning support, we have conducted a survey mainly ask about their satisfaction in the current status, whether they have a dream and whether the school's resource is effective. The survey was sent to the whole school by '''Lingnan Entrepreneurship and Innovation (LEI)''' department on behalf of University Innovation Fellows (UIF). A lucky draw with ten HK$50 supermarket coupons was given as incentives for the students. We used the mass email as an opportunity to promote University Innovation Fellows and our mission as well. It also served as an educational purpose where students can reflect a bit about their lives before our official functions.[[File:Survey Poster.png|thumb|388x388px|Online Survey with Lucky Draw]][[File:Function 1.jpg|thumb|Sharing of the interview with local farmer|link=Special:FilePath/Function_1.jpg]]
To effectively promote entrepreneurship, we co-host an interactive game workshop for students with Lingnan start-up, '''StoreTruck''' and Youth Dreamer, '''Tung Wah Hospital.''' Through the game settings and rules, students get to know more local news and needs such as the difficulties faced by farmers where the innovation such as agricultural technology can step in to improve the livelihood.
'''Promotional Video'''
To raise the awareness of the students about the importance of finding a meaning in life rather than just being "busy", we have filmed a short promotional video "Are you busy...? " It aims to connect students who may feel busy all the time without a purpose or just exhausted. It is hoped that we get them to pause and reflect a bit about being "busy" which might be a time priority. We used this channel to attract students' interests in our project and capture students' situations to the university stakeholders.
'''Engagement Booth with Free CV Photo-shooting Services'''
To better engage the students and visualize the students' needs in life planning in the campus, we have scheduled a day to set up a booth in Skylight, an open area where the majority of Lingnan students must walk pass everyday. By writing your dream on a memo paper and sticking it on the engagement board which indicates their confidence in achieving it, and interact with us, they can get a free photo-shooting services. If they have not thought about their dreams, they may also write about their feelings towards their current status such as satisfied/ frustrated... Through this offline promotion, we aim at making more students recognize University Innovation Fellows and getting them to join our follow-up activities.
'''Tea Time Talk'''
To facilitate a personal, in-depth and quality conversation with students, we are having regular "tea time talk". Students would enjoy a free nice cup of tea or coffee and they are welcomed to share their struggles like heavy study load, no concrete graduation plan. We believe through talking with people who experienced or are experiencing their own struggles, we may feel comforted and thus gain a new perspective. It is our mission to get people continue to be motivated, to search for a meaning. This tea time talk provides a safe place where like-minded people can support each other for the long term.

==Promotion==
<p style="text-align: justify;">Realizing the problem that there aren’t enough promotion of Innovation and Entrepreneurship in Lingnan, our group also come up with some possible solutions and ideas, one of them is to print advertising information of I&E on the takeaway lunchbox in canteen. Since, there is only one canteen in Lingnan, most of the students usually have lunch or buy takeaway lunches there. We discover that the takeaways lunchboxes have a lot of empty spaces in fact and it would be wasteful if students just throw them away. Therefore, we come up with the idea that we could print some advertising information on the lunchbox, so that whenever students by takeaways lunches, it may arouse their interest.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Regarding the process of launching this project. We would first design an attractive and informative cover for the advertising, then we would contact school office and canteen to seek their approval. Once we get the approval, we would then contact the company which produce the current lunchboxes in canteen, send them our design and print them out. We hope that this project would be a short-term one, which we spend not more than a year to finish it.<br /><br />[[File:UIF Lingnan university.jpeg|300px|thumb|center|link=Special:FilePath/UIF_Lingnan_university.jpeg]]</p>
====Social Media Promotion ====
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size:small;">Social media plays a crucial role in student's life. They spend a lot of time on social media, paying attention on those platforms. We think it could be a effective way to </span><span style="font-size: small;">communicate with students and reach out to them instead of the more traditional way of engaging students. And as a result, it could help promoting activities organised by University. Starting a social media account could create a more easy-going image. Besides the platform could act as be the center of information about I&E in lingnan. So students can save the time searching for different opportunites on doing something more useful.</span></p>

==Student Activities==
====Mentorship Programme====
<p style="text-align: justify;">Lingnan University puts emphasis in strengthening the bonding between current undergraduate students and Lingnan alumni. Aiming at raising the awareness in Innovation and Entrepreneurship in Lingan community, a mentorship program could be launched for undergraduate students from all disciplines. Some Lingnan alumni in entrepreneurial sector and other successful start-up founders are invited to be mentors for Lingnan students. This program serves as a platform for both parties to share their creative thoughts. Not only mentees can seek advice from I&E perspective from their mentors, but mentors also can share their personal experience in launching a creative business to their mentees. A series of interactive activities will be arranged for both mentors and mentees to establish a close relationship and get a deep understanding towards innovative entrepreneurship. These help students who are potentially interested in establishing start-up company to acquire first-hand information and help stimulate students’ creative mindsets. The I&E ambience in Lingnan could be greatly enhanced.<br /><br />[[File:Mentorship program.png|300px|thumb|center|link=Special:FilePath/Mentorship_program.png]]</p>
