<span style="font-size:small;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; a. Tanner was able to find out that there was a leadership training event going on at his school focusing on innovation. The great &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;thing about leveraging one of these events is the people are already there and you just need to show up with your curriculum.</span></span>

<span style="font-size:small;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; a.&nbsp;</span></span><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">Find another university wide administrative meeting. At some universities this can be called university council or administrative council. &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;You can find this information on the committees section of your universities’ website. Send an email to the committee chair and let them &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; know what you are wanting to do.</span>

<span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; 3. Contacting event planning personal within your president’s office.</span>

<span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:small;">&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; a.&nbsp;Most University presidents or provosts’ office will have an event planning and coordinating staff. If you are able to get the &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; approval of your president or provost, this staff should work with your to put on and coordinate the</span></span></span>

<span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; a.&nbsp;If you are just beginning as a fellow on your campus and do not have relationships with high level leadership, it can be s</span><span style="font-size:small;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">mart to start &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;having sessions with your faculty and administrators from your academic program or major. This will give you a chance to &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;prototype your presentation and make connections with administrators who can introduce you to leadership is greater positions of &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;authority.</span></span>

<span style="font-size:small;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; 5.&nbsp;Using residential life as a stepping stone to other leaders</span></span>

<span style="font-size:small;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; a.&nbsp;Residential life departments are always looking for interesting events and trainings to put on for students and their staffs. Putting &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; on a good event for a dorm community or group of RA’s can be a great way to get on the radar of residential life administrators &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; who might want to use your example.</span></span>

<span style="font-size:small;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; 6.&nbsp;Building trust and respect on your campus</span></span>

<span style="font-size:small;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; a.&nbsp;One of the major things that allowed Tanner to succeed is he had a track record of successful workshops on his campus. He &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;started small, teaching freshman classes or covering for a teacher who had a sick day. For over a year he served his campus &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;and built up good will with administrators around his university who saw he was truly passionate about this topic.</span></span>

<span style="font-size:small;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; b.&nbsp;Though you may not have a year to begin working around your campus, you can start putting on innovation workshops for your &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; peers and serving your campus community today. This will build good will that will be reciprocated back to you in the future.</span></span>

<span style="font-size:small;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; 7.&nbsp;Setting up the event independently</span></span>

<span style="font-size:small;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;a.&nbsp;If you have to set up the event independently, there are a few key logistical things to keep in mind.</span></span>

<span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:small;">&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;i. Identify your target list of attendees and email them early. The key administrators you want at your event have very busy &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; calendars maintained by assistants that set events months in advance. I would email all parties you are interested in &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; attending at least 2 months in a</span>dvance and send follow up emails if you do not hear back.</span></span>

<span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; ii.&nbsp;<span style="font-size:small;">Room availability. You need to begin by doing an inventory of what spaces on campus have all the equipment your need &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; (movable desks, white boards, ect) and it large enough to hold everyone you want to attend. These rooms are also scheduled &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; months in advance so find your campus’s space scheduler and lock up your date before you start sending out personal &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; invitations.</span></span></span>

<span style="font-size:small;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; iii. Find sources of funding for food. It would be great to have cookies, finger foods, or even a light lunch at your event, but you &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;certainly don’t want to foot the bill for this yourself. Talk with your college’s dean, UIF sponsor, and campus’s innovation &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;center about sources of possible funding for this.</span></span>

<span style="font-size:small;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; b. Once you have your room reserved, guest list invited, and preparations for food, all that is left is preparing your curriculum and &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; self to put on a great workshop the day of.&nbsp;</span></span>
