<span id="docs-internal-guid-85c090bd-7ded-52e1-b721-7607c1d36397"><span style="font-size: 14.6667px; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">The University of Louisville has a more recently expanded entrepreneurship program. The program focusing on the business aspect with not much interaction with the other departments. This mirrors that of the other departments who are extremely independent in their actions of their programs. The amount of required classes that allows different departments to interact is to zero. This is a major concern for a lot of the resources, makerspaces, industrial parks, etc, that thrive when there are a lot of interactions between different types of people.</span></span>

<u><span style="font-size:large;">'''<span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Arial; white-space: pre-wrap;">Strategy #1: Increase student awareness of Entrepreneurship and Innovation resources.</span>'''</span></u>

<span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.6667px; white-space: pre-wrap;">In order to increase student arareness, we plan on hosting an event called "Orientation to Innovation". During this event, students will be given the opportunity to explore the different innovation centers on campus, such as labs and makerspaces. This event would alow students to see the resources available to them. Hopefully, this will increase use of these resources on campus allowing students to think more creatively.</span>

<u>'''<span style="font-size:large;"><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Arial; white-space: pre-wrap;">Strategy #2: Create union between similar Entrepreneurship and Innovation groups.</span></span>'''</u>

<font color="#000000" face="Arial"><span style="font-size: 14.6667px; white-space: pre-wrap;">We plan on starting a chapter of Phi Beta Lambda. This organization will hold a variey of business competitions for students in all pre-existing clubs. By doing this, unity among the groups will be achieved allowing for greater collaboration.</span></font>

<span style="font-size:large;"><u>'''<span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Arial; white-space: pre-wrap;">Strategy #3: Create more campus-wide events that can be accessible by students of any major.</span>'''</u></span>

<span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.6667px; white-space: pre-wrap;">Collab-a-Thon will be an event that requires students to form teams from different students in different disciplines and work together to build an idea. The teams will have a weekend to complete this idea and present their ideas to judges. This will require students to interact and meet others from all over campus. By fostering these interactions, ideas will be generated.</span>

<span style="font-size:large;"><u>'''<span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Arial; white-space: pre-wrap;">Strategy #4: Create engaging events and better opportunities to bring in more students.</span>'''</u></span>

<span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.6667px; white-space: pre-wrap;">Louisville Locals is a weekly event where students can meet entrepreneurs from around Louisville to ask for advice and network. This event will bring in students from all different disciplines. By doing this, students will have increased creativity and inspiration from entrepreneurs in the area.</span>
