== Overview ==

~~Coming soon~~Loyola University Maryland, founded in 1852, is a liberal arts university located in Baltimore, Maryland. The Evergreen campus is the main undergraduate campus. Surrounded by a diverse and booming environment the potential for innovation and creativity is high. However, as of present, the resources for such ventures on Loyola’s campus are limited. Creative space for design thinking, prototyping, and research is not established yet, except for limited lab space reserved for the engineering students. Some courses are offered in the entrepreneurship and innovation field but expansion and improvement is needed. With multiple cohorts of University Innovation Fellows campus, we are excited and motivated to improve these aspects of our campus. With many creative and inspired minds on campus these resources, we strive to benefit students across disciplines and majors.

= Spring ~~2017~~ 2018 Student Priorities =

= Strategy #1: INCREASE STUDENT INTERACTION WITH BALTIMORE COMMUNITY = == Transportation: == *Convert some of the on-campus shuttles to have routes off-campus for the weekend so that students have a better opportunity to get into Baltimore and interact with the surrounding community.*Shuttles will have routes to popular locations in and around Baltimore (Inner Harbor, Towson, Fells Point). Routes and destinations will vary, in response to the feedback from students. = Strategy #2: = = Strategy #3: = = Strategy #4: = = Strategy #5: = ---- = Spring 2017 Student Priorities = = Strategy #1: Increasing Cross-Discplinary Collaboration while Gaining Transferrable Skills =

== Student-led Consulting Firm ==

<li>To maximize undergraduate experience and increase cross-disciplinary collaboration, a group of student possessing technical skills and business acumen would provide business services to fellow students, faculty, and the greater Baltimore community.</li><li>The organizational structure of the business is as follows: Directors of Strategy, Technology, and Operations Under these three departments, there would lie associate and senior consultants.</li><li>For individuals who would like to join the team, but lack the technical or business acumen for whatever reason, the on-boarding process will require a “how-to” module. As an additional revenue source, and to inspire high school students, this module will be provided at a premium fee.</li><li>Based on the early success of the business, there is hope of expansion outside of state [Maryland] lines. Furthermore, to ensure fluid transfer of powers, there will always be a director-in-training</li><li>Tenative launch date: Fall 2017</li>

</ul>

= Strategy #2 GENERATING INTEREST FROM THE STUDENT BODY AND FACULTY =

== Repair Cafe ==

*The space provides a low risk environment for students to gain basic knowledge of tools and innovation processes. The space will curate a basis for the I&E platform to take off on campus.*This is a space/event that will take place on a monthly, bi-monthly, or semester basis*In two to three weeks funding for the first event should be discussed and the idea should be presented to the appropriate deans and stakeholders.*By March 15, 2017 the date for the first Repair Cafe event should be picked and participants from the greater Baltimore area should be contacted.

== Pitch Competition ==

*Running in through the Sellinger School of Business*Name: "Building a Better World Through Business"*Date: Late March 2017

== TedX/ Smaller Speaker Series ==

*In order to spark inspiration and passion in Loyola's undergraduate population we will setup an annual TedX event on Loyola's campus**An appliaction for TedX license has been submitted and another should be submitted as soon as possible*However, creating TedX events often take many months.  In the meantime we would like to set up a smaller speaker series at various locations around campus.**By the end of February the first date and location for the speaker series should be chosen**The first speaker should be contacted (can be Baltimore professional, teacher, or student) by mid-March.**PechaKucha event may also be considered

== ==

= STRATEGY #3 CREATE A COLLABORATIVE SPACE TO GIVE STUDENTS THE ABILITY TO PROTOTYPE THEIR CREATIONS AND TO INSPIRE OTHERS =

== Design Space ==

A design space would allow students to gather and share, collaborate, and inspire, and be inspired by meeting with peers to tinker with prototyping objects such as building blocks, post it notes, 3-D printers, and more. In order to establish this space there are some items of importance to consider and their target dates:

*By the mid-March these statistics should be used to form the first student-promoted pop-up classes
