# Reveal the results of your research. What is your view of the landscape, including all the components that serve the innovation and entrepreneurship ecosystem? Chances are, most in the audience will not be aware of the full breadth of offerings. Make sure you distill what you believe are the key insights and takeaways about ways to enhance the ecosystem. Share your hypothesis for enhancements to the ecosystem and whether or not your hypothesis were validated. If ready, share the YouTube video you've created in Session 6: Storytelling. Leave plenty of time for discussion, questions and comments.
# The other important aspect of this meeting is to simply bring together the campus I&E community. Innovation and entrepreneurship come from interdisciplinary collaboration. If done right, many of the stakeholders will be from distinctly different departmental/college silos. By networking them together, you greatly improve the chances for student and faculty coordination and collaboration over time. You'll come to understand who is already connected to whom. And, you may catalyze some new connections between potential collaborators. Finally, it'll be valuable for them to meet the Fellows team at your school and see you as a key resource.
# Include your sponsor faculty champion and all Fellows currently at your school. By this we mean, don't just leave this responsibility to you and the candidates currently in training. The Fellows and your sponsor faculty champion are instrumental to continued success and this is a great way to illustrate that continuity.<br><br>Optional: If your stakeholder meeting ends up being after launch, you can combine this with the pinning ceremony. The pinning kit will be mailed to you following launch (which will take place on October 19).<br><br>'''Make it fun.'''<br><br>Think about making the event a great experience for all involved. Space matters. If the space isn't inspiring, use images and artifacts to inspire participants. As people arrive and during portions of the event when people are networking, play carefully selected background music ... not too loud, but just right to set the mood and tone. Here's a [https://open.spotify.com/user/125552742/playlist/23tJztpnEwHY3bBw7udqpW Spotify 2017 UIF Chill Playlist] for some ideas. A small budget for pretzels or pizza is always helpful to encourage socialization, but if you're lacking a budget it is not the end of the world. People are there for a shared purpose. So, be creative and make it meaningful! Post photos and comments about the event in the forum.<br><br>The rest of this page has useful tools as you navigate relationships with stakeholders on campus. They cover topics as diverse as negotiation, carrying yourself powerfully, to great leadership requiring vulnerability.

|title=Advice from a successful faculty sponsor
|content=<br>
The following two pages are recommended reading from a very successful faculty sponsor champion who believes in the power of student-led change. His experience in leadership within the military and in business school enables him to mentor several young male and female UIF Fellows in the art of understanding the way people can and do exert power. When conscientiously aware of how people are interacting with you, and how best to interact with certain people, we have the ability to go beyond institutional resistance or feelings of your campus not liking ideas being shared. We have the ability to build a coalition of support, and expand our base of power, by leveraging Fellows, and also student leaders across the institution.<br><br>
