Changes

Over the last two years, we began to notice that successful Fellows were bringing together people on at their campus schools who they identified in their Landscape Canvas research. Some of these people knew one another already (usually the ones who were already self-identified as part of the innovation and entrepreneurship ecosystem); others didn't, but perhaps were identified by the Fellows as someone who was in the ecosystem and was in a role that could be even more supportive of student creativity, innovation, entrepreneurship or design thinking. By holding such meetings, Fellows found new allies and supporters. They helped catalyze new collaborations between others. They learned new things about their ecosystem and the potential to expand their impact collectively. Fellows, and their sponsors, also became known as a central point of contact for the innovation and entrepreneurship (I&E) ecosystem at their school.<br><br>

Campus I&E leaders, including administration, faculty and student leaders. Many of the stakeholders will be from distinctly different departmental/college silos. Include your faculty sponsorchampion(s) and all Fellows currently at your school. The Fellows and your sponsor faculty champions are instrumental to continued success and this is a great way to illustrate that continuity.
