<span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:verdana,geneva,sans-seriflarger;">Michigan Tech’s campus is poised to be a model for student innovation and entrepreneurship. The State of Michigan has recognized the Houghton / Hancock area as a hotbed of innovation, and efforts to connect the School of Business and the School of Engineering are creating new business opportunities daily.</span></span>

<span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:verdana,geneva,sans-seriflarger;">The problem isn’t ideas. It rarely ever is. Uniquely, Michigan Tech doesn’t suffer from a talent gap. Michigan Tech’s engineers are recruited around the globe for their hands-on experience and industry-focused education.</span></span>

<span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:verdana,geneva,sans-seriflarger;">We’ll include a story to summarize the problem at Michigan Tech: &nbsp;One day in early April, a venture capitalist (VC) from Silicon Valley came to Michigan Tech to do due-diligence on a new technology being developed in 3D printing. The VC gave a speech and discussed her time at Stanford. She said, “I never thought about being involved in venture capital, but when I got to school, everyone was talking about starting a business and I felt like I needed to get plugged into that ecosystem.” Michigan Tech lacks that passion, enthusiasm, and culture. These three strategies are designed to remedy that challenge.</span></span>

<span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:verdana,geneva,sans-seriflarger;">A new center for innovation and entrepreneurship&nbsp;is the proposed solution. It uses new academic opportunities, event programming, and startup support to drive a culture shift towards innovation and entrepreneurship.</span></span>

<span style="font-size:mediumlarger;"><span style="font-family:verdanaWhen analyzing the first year experience at Michigan Tech, it became evident that some students felt disconnected from their peers in different majors. For some reason,genevathere was a barrier that was a barrier that was keeping these students from interacting with students that were in other majors. To defeat this barrier,sans-serif;">With the formation we want to be able to incorporate design thinking into some different areas of our campus to better help our peers be able to work with one another to work on a common goal. One class on the new Pavlis Honors College on Michigan Tech's campus, the are plenty that sees a majority of new opportunities available to introduce innovation and creative thinking early in the student experiencebody already tackles large world issues in a lecture type setting: Global Issues. One Changing a class can take a lot of the best ways steps to implement. During this class changing process, our team wants to inspire a shared vision within get evidence of how students is provide them with the opportunity working together to spend time with other students who are interested in similar ideas. By creating an environment where students are constantly challenged work to think differently in their everyday experiences, they will develop a common goal could be a good addition to the class as well as get students more diverse set of problem solving skills to implement in their daily livesinvolved on our campus.</span></span>

<span style="font-size:mediumlarger;"><span style="font-familyTo do this, our team plans on taking four steps:verdanahosting sustainability workshops in our campus's MakerSpace,geneva,sans-serif;">Next year deploying a sustainability survey through the Pavlis Honors College will have a learning community for first year students in to gage their interest on the College. This will be topic, launch a great opportunity sustainability initiative on the Michigan Tech campus with the help of different organizations and the student body, and implenting changes to test out some creative ways the Global Issues class to incorporate creative more design thinking into residence hall life. Resident Assistants are currently required to create programs for their students to participate in and this would be an exceptional opportunity to test out some new ideasteam work. Some of these programs that they do with their students make include some of the events such as the Make-a-thon or the 10X Thinking Workshop.</span></span>

== <span style="font-familysize:verdana,geneva,sans-seriflarger;"><span style="font-size'''Sustainability Workshops:x-large&nbsp;'''Initially we want to start out with some sustainability workshops to see what portion of students are interested in taking a part of a conversation about sustainability. To do this, there will be three different workshops. It will be optional to attend any one of them without attending previous ones to work with the changing schedule of an everyday student. In these workshops, there will be a DIY recyclable project, a sustainability conversation, and a design thinking challenge to get students thinking about their own environmental "pawprint">Strategy Two: Innovation and Brainstorming Course</span>as a Michgan Tech Husky.</span><br/> ==

'''<span style="font-size:mediumlarger;">Campus Survey:</span>&nbsp;'''<span style="font-familysize:verdana,geneva,sans-seriflarger;">CurrentlyNext, we plan on taking a poll through the campus, ideally through first -year engineering students can be found using to get their brainstorming and innovation skills in class. These skills are typically not used again until perspective on the student reaches their fourth or fifth year and are taking Senior Design or join an Enterprise Team. There are many instances where students have a hard time trying to think of ideas for projects because new campus they are trying 've become accustomed to focus on what they have learned from the books, but when they get out into the real world. In this survey, the answer there will not be questions about where their interest lies in the back different sustainability issues whether it be recycling, garbage, renewable energy, and other topics. This will help see what sort of initiatives the bookstudent body would be interested in persuing and seeing implemented on their campus.</span></span>

<span style="font-size:mediumlarger;"><span style="font-family'''Sustainability Initiative:verdana&nbsp;'''With the data found from the campus survey,geneva,sans-serif;">This class the team will help be able to find what larger interests our new students to continue to use have with changing their brainstorming campus. We plan on taking these passions from the student body and innovation tools that they have learned so creating an initiative that they everyone can use these tools in the futuretake a part of changing on their campus. This course will also help guide students can be done by reaching out to think outside different areas of the box so campus and helping with initiatives that it is easier to tackle problems are already in future courses and in the real worldplace as well as sustaining our own. This could possibly We want to be able to create a program of classes that will take place during both the student's second and third year in order community where people are able to make sure that the student is ready to tackle the final projects before graduating help each other and heading out into the work forcetogether to reach our common goal of sustainability.</span></span>

== '''<span style="font-familysize:verdana,geneva,sans-seriflarger;">Global Issues Revamp:</span>&nbsp;'''<span style="font-size:x-largelarger;">Strategy Three: Invention Space&nbsp;Once we are able to bring different majors together to encourage design thinking to bring solutions to our own campus, we want to bring this data to the faculty that teach the Global Issues class at Michigan Tech. We see great potential in this class to help students gain a larger appreciation for the subject. Incorporating more group work to assign students to different world issues will help students gain an understanding for what is going on in the world outside their bubble on the Michigan Tech campus.</span></span> ==

==<span style="font-size:mediumx-large;"><span style="font-familyStrategy Two:verdana,geneva,sans-serif;">A small maker space is currently in the works to be implemented in the current Enterprise lab. At this time, there are very few spaces on campus where students can come together and work collaboratively and have access to prototyping tools and supplies. Much of the renovation necessary to create an effective invention space has been completed, but additional support is needed to gather tools and supplies. This space will allow us to obtain student feedback in order to potentially expand to a much larger and extensive invention space on campus.</span>Innovation Learning Community</span>==

<span style="font-size:mediumlarger;"><span style="font-family:verdanaWith the formation of the new Pavlis Honors College on Michigan Tech's campus,geneva,sans-serif;">This space will serve multiple purposes outside the are plenty of new opportunities available to introduce innovation and creative thinking early in the student experience. One of providing the best ways to inspire a collaborative workspace. It can be used shared vision within students is provide them with the opportunity to hold classes spend time with other students who are interested in an non-traditional style classroom with an alternative setupsimilar ideas. The Invention Space will also host events focusing on innovation and entrepreneurship on campus mentioned below. The space will also serve as By creating an "IP Free" zone in hopes that environment where students would be less worried about having are constantly challenged to worry about legal issues with the University and think differently in their everyday experiences, they will develop a more focused on creating new ideasdiverse set of problem solving skills to implement in their daily lives.</span></span>

<span style="font-size:mediumlarger;">This class will help students to continue to use their brainstorming and innovation tools that they have learned so that they can use these tools in the future. This course will also help guide students to think outside the box so that it is easier to tackle problems in future courses and in the real world. This could possibly be a program of classes that will take <span style="font-family:verdanaarial,genevahelvetica,sans-serif;">Technologyplace</span> <span style="font-family: projector for student teams to present their ideas and 3arial,helvetica,sans-4 desktop computers used for product designserif;">during </span>both the student's second and third year in order to make sure that the student is ready to tackle the final projects before graduating and heading out into the work force.</span>

Before the end of the spring 2016 semester, the goal is to host the first guest speaker in order to gain momentum and keep student interest.

<span style="font-size:mediumlarger;"><span style="font-family:verdanaWhen analyzing the online experience at Michigan Tech, it became evident that some students felt disconnected from their classes and student resources on campus. A barrier seemed to had been placed between professors and connecting to other students to get involved on campus. To defeat this barrier,genevawe want to be able to develop a new way students approach online learning. Changing a class and the way the university outreach's to students can take a lot of steps to implement. During this class and outreaching changing process,sans-serif;">[[Michelle Hoard|Michelle Hoard]] - A University Innovation Fellow from Michigan Tech</span>our team wants to get evidence of how students interact thought the current online systems and also how students get involved on our campus.

<span style="font-size=Strategy Nine:medium;"Location Scavenger Hunt==<big><span style="font-family:verdanaWe've noted that navigation around campus can be challenging sometimes.

<span style="font-size=Strategy Eleven:medium;">Resource Finder==<span style="font-family:verdana,geneva,sans-serif;"big>'''Michigan Tech Student Priorities'''&nbsp;- Learn One key area we saw students struggling on campus was their lack of knowledge about university resources.

<span style="font=Strategy Twelve: Protocol for an Improved Post-size:medium;"Quarantine Learning Experience==<big><span style="fontIn Fall 2021, students and faculty returned to campuses with lingering concerns regarding in-person education. Easing the seismic transition will require learning institutions to actively engage with their demographics to determine next steps.

<br /> ==Strategy Thirteen: Student Experience Compounding Journal==Although online resources are plentiful and easy to access we've found from some of our interviews that students sometimes prefer a physical journal, something that they can hold and add to. We think that there is an opportunity to use these additions to create a journal that students can get at the end of the year, read, and then add to if they would like at the end of the year they can turn in this journal and then we can add some of the additions to the next year's "edition" for then more students to add to until we end up with a product with a lot of wisdom and insight for new students. <br /> ==Strategy Fourteen: Centralized Resource Finder==Our university environment contains a large quantity of resources available to students most of which can be easily researched online. We have found through various problem interviews that students are confused by how spread out it seems all of these resources are. This is mostly a result of departmentalized resources often not playing well with each other, thus creating a number of similar locations for different resources. This seems like it is a lot of duplicated effort that can be confusing for the end user, and also confusing for people trying to add to these sites or areas on campus. We would like to work with the university to foster a centralized solution so as to improve scalability and modularity of proposing new groups/organizations as well as an easy way for groups to announce new activities and changes. =Cohort 2023=For our cohort we focused on developing a peer mentoring program for new entering students might help them adjust to a new university or environment. By implementing peer mentoring initiatives that match current students (including transfers and international students) with experienced peers. Mentors may provide direction, answer queries, and give students an atmosphere of togetherness. This helps them in many regards like specialized help and advice that is suited to their unique requirements and problems, developing self-assurance in their abilities to make it through the educational system, this can reduce the feeling of isolation and anxiety faced by many new incoming students.  <br />=Strategy Fifteen: Peer Mentorship Program (2023-24)=Transitioning into a new college or university, particularly in a foreign nation, may be a difficult and bewildering process. A well-designed peer mentoring program may give the support, direction, and feeling of inclusion that these students require to succeed in their new surroundings. The major goal of this peer mentoring program is to help incoming transfer and foreign students make a smooth and happy transition. We hope to address their specific needs and obstacles by collaborating them with experienced Tech students, thereby boosting  personal growth, and social development.  Analysis of the information collected from discussions with stakeholders on campus, including faculty, staff, administration made it clear that first year students, specially transfer students and international students feel disoriented on campus during the orientation and transition period. There is a barrier in terms of proper and complete communication, handholding and guidance support to students. Even though there are abundant resources on campus and ample opportunities to explore campus life, incoming students are overwhelmed with the climatic and cultural change, and the onset of semester work leaves them with little ability to get comfortable with college life. We recognized an opportunity to create an innovative solution that builds on existing resources, is attentive to student needs and at the same time, is based on the value space created by faculty and staff.  We will accompany them on their journey and make them feel at ease in our campus community.  <br />=<span style="font-size:x-large;">Completed Strategies</span>= =====<span style="font-size: x-large;">Invention Space&nbsp;</span>===== <span style="font-size: larger;">A small maker space has been completed to be implemented in the current Enterprise lab. At this time, there are very few spaces on campus where students can come together and work collaboratively and have access to prototyping tools and supplies.

This space will allow us to obtain student feedback in order to potentially expand to a much larger and extensive invention space on campus.</span> <span style="font-size: larger;">This space will serve multiple purposes outside of providing a collaborative workspace. It can be used to hold classes in an non-traditional style classroom with an alternative setup.
