Changes

Over the last two few years, we began to notice that successful Fellows were bringing together people at their 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>Rather than leave these potential outcomes to chance, we introduced the Stakeholder Meeting in Fall 2015, asking all new candidates to hold such a meeting early in their involvement with the Fellows program. Please set your date now, even if circumstances change and you have to be flexible with schedules. This will allow you to communicate the date, time and location to people you meet as part of your outreach of the coming weeks.<br><br>

Add the tentative details of your stakeholder meeting on your Team Workspace mural. We are asking you to only schedule one stakeholder meeting per campus, ideally around week 5 6 of training(or later). After this meeting, we will ask you to submit artifacts to us (such as photos, screen shots, attendee lists, agendas and outcomes; no videos needed). <br>
