<span style="font-size:small;"><span style="font-family:times new roman,times,serif;"></span></span> '''Priority 1: Community Involvement with UIF'''
Purpose:
'''Priority 2: Students Motivating Students in Innovation Learning'''
Purpose:
'''Priority 3: UIF Collaboration with Maker Hub'''
Purpose:
'''Priority 4: Burst the Bubble Coding Curriculum'''
Purpose: To teach coding to students of all majors without the pressure of a grade, show people what UIF is all about, and recruit other students who inspire change and want to make the campus a more innovative space. This gives people of all majors the opportunity to learn to code in a positive environment without the pressure of a grade.
'''Priority #5: Elon Maker Space Improvements '''
Purpose:
With the establishment of the Maker Hub in Fall 2015, Elon took the first step towards establishing a dedicated I&E makerspace. However, students still need a space that is effectively staffed, well and reliably equipped, and where they feel comfortable to brainstorm and prototype their ideas.
Strategies:
Identify what aspects of the Maker Hub are most in need of improvement.
'''Priority #6: Elon Innovators Network' ''
Purpose:
One way to encourage others to take their ideas and dreams to the next level is to show them that it has and is being done! This project would seek to shine a light on Elon’s current and past entrepreneurs.

'''Priority #7: Interdisciplinary Classes '''
Purpose:
One opportunity for improvement at Elon is a current lack of interdisciplinary courses which bring together different subjects to engage students in subjects outside of their majors. Elon should create courses to combat this which bring together the different disciplines offered on campus to offer students a well-rounded education by connecting areas of study.
Strategize with a team to create and test prototype (aka mock syllabi, possible coursework, lecturers, etc.).
'''Priority #8: Increase Innovation and Entrepreneurship Engagement '''
Purpose:
The campus does not lack innovation or entrepreneurship events and resources. Instead, the campus must cultivate student engagement in entrepreneurship and innovation. There are more events hosted than students who attend. In order to increase engagement with entrepreneurship courses, maker hub spaces, and other opportunities, there must be an investigation into the lack of student involvement.
Engage Elon students in conversations and surveys with students in regards to their motivation for attending campus events. The following questions can guide the conversation:
Implement a method of working from the inside-out: Focus on engaging students who express an interest in innovation and entrepreneurship before reaching out to the broader student body.
Speak with students who have previously run successful events and determine causation for the student-body turnout.
Compile an overview of sources and successful methods of student engagement across campus.
Move entrepreneurship events to theaters with larger foot traffic such as Turner Theatre in the School of Communications.
