Student Priorites
Johnson C. Smith University offers students the opportunity to be unique entrepreneurs. Events are hosted throughout the year through different organizations and departments. All of which, allows these individuals to expand their knowledge and brands. Having more oppurtuities presetd to the unviersity will allow a greater amoun of exposure and positon students to be aligned with greatness.
Our team of 2 was able to conduct a few projects for our university which focused on improving the life of student
engagement and professionalism for students. We listened to the voiced needs that students and peers have
expressed to us through interviews, and based on their concerns we produced buildups to fulfill these needs. One of
our projects, titled HUSTLE, which created an outlet for students to find creative ways to innovate, and start their
ideas. Innovation and technology was a department we decided to give focus to, so we created workshops to allow
students to network with peers and faculty to create airspaces for maybe the next Facebook or Uber to be created.
We also created school spirit workshops to allow for an increase in student engagement and involvement. Both were
successful and set strong footprints in two fields that we wanted to focus in, innovation and engagement.
As University Fellows, we would like to bring forth Pop-Up Shop learning session opportunities with guests speakers. Our guests will be individuals whom are established entrepreneurs thats are more than willing to offfer knowledge to students on how to navigate Pop-Up Shops successflly. It is a goal of ours to host this event at least once a month. Thus, allowing students to attend one of the forums.
Social Media 101 would also also be an entrepreneurial opportunity we would like to bring forth to students. Being social media savvy will be benefiicial to students. Being socially savvy helps you increase your brand awareness and your messaging. Social media is a chance you to showcase what you stand for in the public eye so people understand not only what your goal is as an entrepreneurs but what they stand for.
