Changes

In order to create a successful, inclusive movement, one must first have a need on their campus that is not being fulfilled by adiministration administration as well as a clear, well defined goal. For Nadia Gathers, she saw a need on her campus to empower women to use their full potential. For Ryan Phillips, he saw a need for an innovation space to foster creative thinking. To identify a need on campus, it is important to speak to a range of faculty, staff, and students to ensure that a majority variety of people's opinions align to one specific need. Whether that is a need for a new design space, a new major, or more interaction between disciplines, it is very important that a majority wide range of people on campus believe in your cause. Once a wide range variety of people on campus believe in your movement, all that is needed a clear, well defined goal. Once your goal is well defined, you can then begin presenting this idea to important faculty members who can help champion your movement. Both Nadia and Ryan were fortunate to find faculty who believed in their causes. This faculty member can help you to get important meetings or interviews. If you are finding it hard to obtain a faculty sponsor for your cause, get the word out to the student body. Ryan came up with many creative ideas to get the word out about an innovation space to his student body including a 10 ft tall <span data-scaytid="2" data-scayt_word="QR">QR</span> code and buying a dump truck full of bouncy balls with "Innovation Hub" printed on them and dumping them around campus. Nadia was willing to stand in her campus quad and yell until she was heard. It can be difficult to gain attention for your movement as one student, but when you are a group of hundreds or even thousands of students, your movement becomes impossible for faculty to ignore. Ryan and Nadia, and their successes on campus, are proof of this.&nbsp;
