With our liberal arts education, few requirements, and encouragement to think collaboratively, Smith students have developed interdisciplinary mindsets that thrive on an innovative campus. With three makerspaces on campus, classes in design thinking and entrepreneurship, and workshops for faculty, Smith has an abundance of resources to help cultivate innovation within the student body. Yet, due to lack of advertising and lack of reaching out, many students with great ideas have missed the opportunity to develop them further. Our goals, which are detailed below in greater detail, will help foster this growth and awareness of innovation on campus. From a concentration to a maker market, our goals engage with students in a variety of settings in order to reach out to a wider set of scholars. While this is our first year with University Innovations Fellows on campus, we hope to start a dialogue amongst students, faculty, and the administration in which we instigate change and advocate for a more entrepreneurial campus.</span></span></span>

<font face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif" color="#000000"><span style="font-size: 14.6667px; white-space: pre-wrap">Program Pitch: Many students from the Picker Engineering Department feel unwelcomed in the I&E culture on Smith campus and that it was directed more towards business and humanities students. On the contrary, students from the humanities fields felt that the I&E culture was more for engineering and other STEM students. However, students from both fields were interested in learning ways that they could be of use in I&E culture.</span></font>
