Many students face issues when it comes to working with a team for class projects or in their work and home lives. Many students don’t know how to face these issues, which makes working in a team, for any reason, frustrating. Students also have been vocal about the lack of leadership skills they have. Several students that I have talked with have mentioned that leadership is something that they are never really taught; all throughout high school, they are taught to follow, but never how to be the one that is followed. For my project, I want to offer these skills to students in a way that can be fun and stress-free, but also provide them with what they need to succeed. My idea is to offer a 1 credit hour course that offers team building and leadership skills to all students in an outdoor setting. This course would be a 4-5-week course offered in the spring. Participating students would meet once a week for an outdoor activity that involves either teamwork, leadership from each student, or both. After course completion, each student would have skills on how to effectively work as a team member in a functional group, and how to take the leadership role in a situation. This will help students with class projects as well as in any entrepreneurial role they may take on.

==== Integrating Student Information Networks  ====

<span style="font-family: Arial; background-color: transparent; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">One of the most confusing and challenging aspects of adjusting to college life is learning how to access resources. During our first interactions with campus life, students are often given many business cards, phone numbers and pamphlets about campus resources that are quickly lost or forgotten about. From health services to student organizations, there are information networks across campus that are available to students but not interconnected. This can make it difficult for students to find out what is going on across campus and how to access resources available to them.

<span style="font-family: Arial; background-color: transparent; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">This strategic priority is focused on integrating those information networks for student access. This includes fostering cooperation between academic and administrative units that disseminate information, creating new networks of information and new distribution and reviving old networks that are underutilized. This will be accomplished through revitalizing and reopening the television broadcasting studio on campus and making it available for student use. The studio will serve as the new hub for information dissemination across campus, from academics to administration to student life; there will be one source to fuel and connect many networks.
