*'''Description''':Start-Up Clemson University (SUCU) will be a 3-4 day bootcamp in design, innovation, creativity, & entrepreneurship for incoming freshmen students at Clemson. Based off the concept of similar programs at the university, SUCU will bring freshman on campus 3-4 day early and engage them in a design challenge, exploratory trips around innovation spaces on campus, workshops on design thinking, and social events to weld together friendships based on the shared experience. Ulitimately, the goal of Start Up Clemson is for freshman students to successfully take charge of their education and start up their career at Clemson with the necessary tools and support network.*'''Timeline'''**Ideation (October 2016)**Design & Prototype (November 2016) - develop a timeline of events. Consider a 3-day versus a 4-day experience. Determine which events would be of highest value. Start considering costs, logistical challenges, and key stakeholders related to each aspect of the program. Bring prototypes to stakeholders for feedback.**Finalize sequence of events (December 2016) - in order to secure financial and political support, the program will need to be more formally pitched. This will require design of the program and well as the development of important metrics of success (e.g. X students attend, Y% knew more about I&E at Clemson, Z% felt more confident in their choice of major.**Secure Resources necessary for progra (January 2016) - Watt Family Innovation Center and University Housing & Dining will be key partners in order to host events and enable freshmen to move into their residential spaces early. This tactic will dramatically reduce the cost of the program, as housing would otherwise be a large cost. Funding will be necessary**Develop marketing & recruitment materials (February 2017)**Launch and continue recruitment efforts (March-July 2017) - this will include partnering with New Student & Family Programs in order to recruit potential freshmen for the program. Orientation will be a great space to get the message across to recruits. The Residents in Science & Engineering (RiSE) program will also be an excellent partner in spreading the word.**Launch and run SUCU (August 2017)**Begin recruitment and sustainability planning for the next year's SUCU (September 2017)
