= Overview<br/> =

At the University of Wisconsin - Milwaukee, we have what UWM has a uniquely vibrant culture. It is known as the “Innovation Engine” this is the sum of the widespread opportunities a diverse hub for students to get involved in academic research, pursue business ideas, participate in entrepreneurial courses, enter business competitions, or simply get involved with an innovative student organization. This Innovation Engine and hands-on experience which is the ambitious goal of our campus Leadership who are creating an Innovation Campus and building new spaces for interdisciplinary collaborative research with many partners immediately embedded in the Milwaukee area. When looking at our landscape canvas, it seems that there are a great deal of opportunities city that currently exist for students. However, in the past weeks to months, we have been able to really take offers a pulse wide range of the campus and examine whether the students are really being engaged. This seems to be the case for a fewecological, but far more students do not know about the resources available to themhistorical, and far more students do not execute their ideas. There is a sense of close-mindedness, fearintellectual, and a perceived lack of support that needs to be addressed. Students need to be excited monetary resources and given a chance to truly let their creative juices and passions pour into an idea free of judgement, where they can take on the risks and pursue new opportunities. We want students to dare to be different and think not about simply getting a job, but creating a job. We need to ignite a newPragmatism, freshoptimism, more exciting and exhilarating innovation engine that does not focus exclusively social empathy are written on the academic research but also in the personal pursuits DNA of students. We need to inspire students and make them believe that they too can change the world. For these reasonscity, the following six strategies are designed to maximize the hidden potential that lies within the student body and the faculty and administrators who teach students each and everyday. The resources on campus are there but they need to be reorganized and they need to be given a contextaccordingly, for those who are outside the compartmentalized and easily-isolated groups and collegesuniversity. There are 14 schools and colleges at UWMmany young, with nearly 30,000 students and over 1,600 faculty, so it is easy for resources and programs to get lost in knowledgeable faculties on the shuffle. As a result of the scale of UWM, our current I&E ecosystem is quite fragmentdcampus, with no clear pathways for progress. These six strategies aim to solve many of these problems that plague the campus and ultimately deter some students from pursuing their ideas. Our goal is that with these strategies in place, our university can have a centralized I&E ecosystem that has a low barrier hunger to entry, easily-identifiable learn and transparent pathways for resource-sharing, and the ability to cultivate, nurture and expose ideascreate. We want to reward students for their participation in the I&E ecosystem and we want other students to feel like they want to be a part of the I&E ecosystem.<p style="text-align: center;"><br/>{{#Widget:Youtube|id=8iUg5tclsoI}}</p>

== Tactic #3: Show Off Current As the Innovation and Past Student Accomplishments ==Entrepreneurship (I&E) culture at UWM continues to build and develop a sense of community becomes even more important. As more events are created, and others continued, there will be a large push for more students from diverse branches of academia to participate. UWM has many organizations and programs, but they hardly ever interact outside of their majors. If UWM hopes to grow further, bridges will need to be built between majors. Future events will work to bring in more branches of academia in a way that encourages students to network and work with people outside of their branch of academia.

What better way In 2021, the UI Cohort identified three key terms to raise outline their strategic priorities that work to support the confidence continued innovation of our students than by showing them success from peers? Highlights the University of current Wisconsin-Milwaukee: student connections, transitions to the university (e.g., starting a new program, etc.), and past students who have been involved with I&E eventsentrepreneurship development. From this starting point, or even who have been successful with ventures of their own, will be publishedthe team focused on four strategic priorities to develop further throughout the year.

*MilestonesIn order to support the connection of students to maximize innovative thinking while simultaneously attempting to close a gap the UI cohort identified in current Living Learning Dormitory opportunities on campus, one tactic currently in pursuit is the creation of a "Design Thinking:**Create an I&E showcase section Living Learning Dorm". Led by Rudi, the UI cohort are actively prototyping the effectiveness of their design ideas in the school paperbringing students of all programs (i.e., business, engineering, art history, etc.**Develop ) together in a UW dormitory setting to form a creative space that supports design thinking opportunities. Students that apply and are selected for this new venture will be surrounded by individuals of various backgrounds and expertise, yet find similarity in their common drive to create and innovate. In combining students of all backgrounds under one roof, students will contribute to the well- Milwaukee I&E website focused on aggregating information from rounded creation of ideas to push the university forward, all colleges about I&E events, competitions the while mastering the practice of design thinking and applying such skills to both professional and successespersonal growth.

The prototype consisted of diverse questions that brought students into deep self thought, guiding them to reflect and ask themselves questions to help them discover the routes of their passions. After multiple interviews with the questions, first being done separately then followed up with discussion, the UIF cohort found a trend in the responses with certain thought processes and emotions. With each interview and discussion, they altered the questions to best help the student reflect and get the best, unbiased responses. These responses and discussions helped them come up with some answers to why things may be as they currently are, and opened up thought to what can be solutions. At the end of each interview, we discussed possible solutions on what would have to be true to progress forward.</span></span><br/> <span id="docs-internal-guid-5b3ba9c6-7fff-25f2-8d0a-e9d891776f1d" style="font-family: -webkit-standard; caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><span style="font-size: 11pt; 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;">Frequent and detailed discussion of students’ passions and the resources outside of the classroom available to allow students to actually pursue their mission, insighting opportunity, may be very helpful first steps for students.

By changing the Course title from classes like Mechanical Engineering 490 that only count for credit for mechanical engineers, to something that can be detemrined after we show some of our campus leaders our goalscounted towards graduation for all majors. Then we If all students can take these classes for credit then you will build metrics to measure our impactyield a more diverse class.</span></span>

I&E is a skill that all majors can benefit from so with that logic I&E should count towards graduation for all majors.</span></span><div><br/></div>= Related Links =

This technology would especially help out the architecture and engineering schools. By having this new technology, students in the field will be able to enhance their prototyping and knowledge on their field material. Non-architecture and engineering students are welcomed to use the technology themselves as the technology is versatile in all majors. Because this technology is so new and exciting, we are hoping it will get students interested about I&E. We will need to: 1) find out if anyone on campus is doing research with VR (due 11-30-2016), 2) Determine cost of VR and how to fund it (due 12-30-2016), 3)-If there are grants, ask professionals to help us write it (due 1-30-2017), 4) Draft up grant writing (2-15-2017), 5) Review grant writing with professionals (3-1-2017), 6) Submit grant proposal (5-1-2017)&nbsp; == Venture Captial (Dorm Fund) == <span style="color:black">During an assignment where we had to talk with fellows from other universities about our landscape canvases, one of the UWM fellows came across a fellow who had a venture capital fund running out of his school, Rowan University. After talking with him about this fund, and finding out about a similar student-run fund out of Marquette University, we think that a student-run venture capital fund might possibly be valuable on campus. We think this because, mainly, students wouldn't have to go all the way through a program to be funded by the university. The money that the university has right now to support innovative ideas is only at the end of competitions, or the culmination of different programs. If someone happens to miss a deadline, they may just be out of luck for funding their idea until the next term comes around.</span> <span style="color:black">We could start the potential planning of a student run venture capital fund by, 1) interviewing students to see the need for business idea funding, 2) conduct interviews with the students at Marquette university, 3) Talk to the people at our school that already have money to distribute, and see if they have any feedback, 4) Look at the track record for how many students have gotten or needed funding in the past. 5) Create a plan for gaining donations for the venture fund, 6) Find out the structure and logistical information about holding money at a university.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;</span> == '''<span style="background-color:#ffffff">Strategic: Think Outside the Campus's Box</span>''' == <span style="background-color:#ffffff">Milwaukee is a great city with a wide range of resources.

The orientation gets the job done in terms of checking all of the typical orientation boxes, however, it lacks being the first step in creating lasting campus connections.&nbsp;</font> <font color="#000000">To fix this, a few objetives have been identified to create a better experience for incoming students.&nbsp;</font> <span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">First, changing the time frame from early in the summer to a couple days right before school starts will give students more time to get acclimated with the campus.&nbsp;</span> Second, adding in more events where new students get to interact with clubs and other resources on campus will give them the opportunity to become part of a group and feel more comfortable as they adjust to a new place.&nbsp; Third, having optional trips around the greater Milwaukee area or staying on campus to do other events such as design thinking workshops would give incoming students the opportunity for discovery on campus and in the surrounding community.&nbsp; As a forward-thinking campus there are always room for improvement, and gving students a better first year experience is one way UWM can connect students to the campus and city.&nbsp; == Diversity and Inclusion in Entrepreneurship: Zero Barriers == To increase diversity and inclusion at UWM by having different entrepreneurial presenters from different backgrounds come and present to cater to the needs of the community would be the strategic priority of this event. It would allow those without a voice to be heard or anyone that may have been marginalized in the past. The faculty, staff, and students here at UWM to include directors, vice-chancellors, presidents, and numerous leaders to provide a network to use their connections to ensure a successful event of diversity and inclusion in entrepreneurship. Branding would be used for awareness and to use the "1 Million Cups" reputation to draw in the general public. We would cater to the needs of the individuals and provide an open-forum, laid-back environment that is laissez-faire in nature where it is okay to fail and not know all of the answers. Our customer archetype would be those who are in the minority and from varying creeds, backgrounds, ethnicities, socio-economic statuses, and more. We hope that this event can be done in a quarterly fashion to increase its momentum and keep on going by celebrating diversity and inclusion on different months, like Black History Month, National Hispanic Heritage Month, and National Coming Out Month. ---- = <span style="background-color:#ffffff">Related Links</span><br/> = [[University of Wisconsin Milwaukee]] '''University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee Student Priorities''' <span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.4; font-size: small">[http://universityinnovation.org/wiki/Nicole_Green Nicole Green]</span> [http://universityinnovation.org/wiki/Amin_Mojtahedi A][[Amin Mojtahedi|min Mojtahedi]] <span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.4; font-size: small">[http://universityinnovation.org/wiki/Garry_Jean-Pierre Garry Jean-Pierre]</span><div style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; line-height: 20.1599998474121px; color: rgb(68, 68, 68); font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px"><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.4; font-size: small"><span id="docs-internal-guid-6606fdbc-3815-46f3-52a6-94edf23fd86d" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.4"><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.4; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; background-color: transparent">David Gallegos</span></span></span></div>[[Cory Engdahl]] [[Aaron Davis]] Rustin Bergren [[Tahereh Hosseini]] [[Tou Jim Lee|Tou Jim Lee]] [[Hoda Ganji|Hoda_Ganji]] [[Alycia Doxon|Alycia_Doxon]] [http://universityinnovation.org/wiki/User:Mahshid Mahshid] [http://universityinnovation.org/wiki/Madeline_Horinek Madeline Horinek] [[Kate Jankowski|Kate Jankowski]] [[Category:Student Priorities|u]][[Category:Student Priorities]][[Category:Student Priorities]][[Category:University_of_Wisconsin_Milwaukee]][[Category:Student_Priorities]]
