<span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.4; font-size: larger;">Project: Develop a D-School</span> <span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.4; font-size: larger;">By implementing a location for the students of CU Denver to be able to have a place to sit and discuss research, innovation, and new ideas we will be able to sponsor new ideas from all different disciplines. I have already allocated space within the campus and will work to get enough funding to get a building put together. This facility will have engineering labs to simple conference rooms where students can convene and let their minds develop themselves and the world with their futuristic thinking. It will be imperative to also have this D-School be student led, student initiated, and student run where if we are to keep this a student space for students we need to make sure that the major policy makers are the students that will occupy that space.&nbsp;</span>

The idea would be to be able to have courses that students can take within engineering that will count as needed credit even if they are a biology or physics major. By doing this you are incentivizing the innovation idea by having students who want to learn about it take a small courses that is not centralized on their major.&nbsp;</span>

<span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.4; font-size: larger;">Project: RaCAS, innovation conference</span> <span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.4; font-size: larger;">It would be pointless to have all these solutions and not have an avenue to have students present their work and their ideas. I would like to see events where students have opportunities that most Universities can’t give on the Front Range. One of these events is what is called RaCAS as it has already been implemented at our University however there are many improvements to be made. I was able to arrange to get students from the school of education and the business school to participate along with the conventional majors. I would like to see this expand even more and have disciplines from all over the university. As for the conference, I would love to see us partner with other universities around the Denver area to throw an innovation conference where we can pull student innovators into the middle of central Denver to be able to meet CEO's of major development companies ect.</span>

<span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.4; font-size: larger;">Project: Form a Committee of Students and Faculty</span> <span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.4; font-size: larger;">As the University of Colorado Denver moves toward implementing more innovative plans to develop innovation and entrepreneurship here on campus a committee must be formed to make sure that things are moving in the direction that the students want it. It is imperative that if we are to strive for innovation here on this campus we need to make sure that our student's voices are heard. They are the ones that this effort is built for, so it only makes sense to actually have students be the guiding source of this initiative. The committee would include deans of all colleges or their designee, along with student government members, and students at large.&nbsp;</span>

<span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.4; font-size: larger;">Project: Integrate Anschutz Medical Campus with the Downtown Campus</span> <span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.4; font-size: larger;">Currently the Anschutz Medical Campus is an hour drive from the downtown campus, creating a separation that is very hard to fix. However Anschutz has many facilities for innovation and design as it has a center for bioengineering and our tech transfer office is located on their campus. I would like to see those doors open up more to undergraduates than just the conventional graduate student already at the medical school. By doing this you open up the amount of resources that the university can give to students that are trying to be innovative and those that have done it all before can provide the much needed insight in relation to future design and development ideas.&nbsp;</span>

<span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.4; font-size: larger;">Project: Freshmen Seminar courses in Innovation</span> <span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.4; font-size: larger;">Currently at the University of Colorado Denver we have freshmen seminar courses that our freshmen are required to take. It would be my goal to make one of the options for freshmen seminar an innovation focused course. By doing this you are opening the eyes of freshmen to the idea of innovation and by introducing them to the idea you can better publicize the idea of research. CU Denver has been known for its undergraduate research however there is no way to get students to know about it. By doing a class such as this you can ensure that the students here know they have options to be innovators and researchers.&nbsp;</span> <span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.4; font-size: larger;">&nbsp;</span>
