= 2015 Cohort Strategy#1  Expose students to Innovation and Entrepreneurship =
<span style="font-size:medium;">The following are the&nbsp;three major strategic priorities for Innovation and Entrepreneurship on Berea College Campus:</span>= Tactics#1.1 UIFresh ==
== <span style="font-size'''Description:x-large;">Priority '''Through the #1UIFresh initiative we plan to introduce the entrepreneurial mindset to the freshmen class. We would arrange a ‘Creativity & Innovation Orientation Workshop’ for the entire incoming class to discover the breadth of innovation in the liberal arts and to think creatively about potential opportunities in the future. For example: Start-up weekends/ Idea Pitches</span> ==“Innovation Tours” to expose students to makerspaces and resources.
<span style="font-size'''Milestones:medium;">Provide an opportunities for budding entrepreneurs to work on their ideas, pitches, and get funding for and feedback on their ideas. Hosted on the college campus, students will have the chance to build upon an idea that engages problems occurring on the micro level, while also being mentored/judged by experts in the field. We will have professors from Computer Science, Business, Economics, Technology and Applied Design to act as judges, and have local businesses provide financial awards that creates a partnership through I&E principles. The first night of the event, we will teach students concepts such as Design Thinking which can help in their idea processes, and skills they can use after the weekend it complete.</span>'''
