Strategy #1: Improve Entrepreneurship Awareness

Following are an array of strategies that will fully address Gap #1 over a 2-3 year period:

Tactic #1: Student Residential Weekend Workshop

Description: Currently at Bucknell, there are six distinct themed Residential Colleges and many affinity houses. Some of them are closely related to I&E, such as Social Technology Residential College and the Engineering & Innovation House. Students chose to live in those houses are interested in I&E. By creating weekend workshop gatherings, we can foster the collaboration between students and help them start working on their ideas. Getting started is always the first hurdle. This will help students who are already interested in I&E to overcome the get started dilemma.
Team Leader:: RAs
Milestones:
- Arrange the first Meeting with RAs on related residential halls and houses.
- Reserve the workshop space and get permission from school.
- RAs arrange the interest meeting on their individual hall.
- Propose a year long weekly events based on student's interests.
- Start the project.

Tactic #2: TEDx Event

Description: Bucknell currently has a speaker series called: Tech/No. It invites famous authors, businessman, managers to have a open one-on-one interview. Students showed a lot interests in those event. Having a TEDx event will further foster the innovation ecosystem at Bucknell.
Team Leader:: TBA
Milestones:
- Apply TEDx event license

Tactic #3: Student focused Start-up Workshop

Description: Although Small Business Development Center holds start-up workshops regularly, most of these workshops are community oriented. Many of them are off campus and unknown by students. This workshop series will be student focus. Inform interested students with how to start a business, and show them the current available resources. This event will be an introductory event.
