Changes

<p style="text-align: justify;"></p><p style="text-align: justify;">[[File:IDEA Fellows Primary Logo.png]]</p><p style="text-align: justify;"></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Students have been pushing for I&E on campus for several years. It has proven difficult to garner sustained interest. In 2017, a new student organization, The Brain Trust, was formed to provide education and an environment for students to bring ideas into action. Although the student organization was only around for one year, the The small group of students kickstarted the process of allocating a designated innovation space at IUPUI. Furthermore, they initiated the planning stages with amonst faculty to develop a lasting entrepreneurial structure on campus; they hoped to continue to bring students fromfragmented from fragmented backgrounds and disciplines together to focus on singular projects to improve and contribute to IUPUI.</p><br/>In an effort to initiate the improvement of IUPUI's current innovative mindset, The Brain Trust's first goal was to apply to the University Innovation Fellows program to gain the knowlledge knowledge and know how to most effectively change the campus landscape. RecentlyThe Brain Trust met our current faculty champion, Youngbuk Hong, who cared deeply about the innovative culture on our champion. The Brain Trust merged with University Innovation Fellows, other the and the Visual Communication Design department to form IDEA (Innovation, Design, Entrepreneurship, Action) Fellows. Throughout 2019, we have continued to improve the culture of innovation on our campus. We hosted the first Design Sprint working alongside the Mayor's office to help solve issues in our community. We continue to participate in the UIF mission, and countless more students have joined our cause.   Other student groups have started their own contributions to campus unity and innovation. Most notably, Student Talks, an organization dedicated to student discussions similar to that of Ted talks but on a student basis, has carved a path to begin meaningful discussions on campus. This venue could open the way to a more unified and innovative campus. [http://enactus.org/ ENACTUS]: A national innovation competition recently undergone by students of IUPUI. (See website)&nbsp; A recent culmination of Innovation resources came together at the first Innovation Student Union meeting at IUPUI. A collection of representation from many different student organizations coming together to orient their collective innovative projects toward a common goal is the prime idea of the Union. Hopefully this can blossom into more student initiative driven I&E on campus.
