The following page outlines the UIF Candidate Priorities regarding what we believe needs to be brought to our campus in order to improve the I&E culture at our University.</span>
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; white-space: pre-wrap; background-color: transparent; caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); color: rgb(0, 0, 0); text-indent: 36pt;">An introductory, patent/product development awareness meeting dedicated to simply exposing students to the world of product development and how to take their ideas and turn them into reality. It talks a little bit about patents and a little bit about how to take a product and take it all the way. Could partner with Nashville Inventors for this event so that not only people inside Lipscomb can learn, but people outside. Also, it can help enhance Nashville Inventor attendance. A local expert would come in and talk about what they’ve learned and there will also be COB people there to help students get connected with the business department if they’d want it. </span>
= Priority 3: I&E knowledge and skill advancement - Level Up! <br/> = <span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; white-space: pre-wrap; background-color: transparent; caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">From contacting others, I Ever had positive feedback that feeling that you did not learn enough before graduating ? And also do not want to pursue a graduate degree or start over entirely? Well this is the solution! A weekend program that is dedicated to give opportunities for an informational session, and not as much around an actual club. Most people I’ve talked students to learn from other students to gain skills that will be difficult for them to are primarily interested gain in just gaining their traditional coursework. The students they learn from will get income from the information and moving on from thereschool or participating students. AlsoThis program will be targeted towards college students, engineers are busy. Because of thisLipscomb Academy students, an informational session seems more of something and graduate students would appreciate more in engineering. Also from talking with The students teaching the Nashville Inventors leaders, they are not super interested in driving weekend course will be approved by professors and deans. This will be a long low cost program that should be limited to $25 per weekend course. Great way in order for students to hold their monthly meetingsgain extra income and learn something new for resume or personal building. However, I This will talk hopefully eliminate or lessen the extra educational experience students would like to them more next week if more students are interestedobtain before graduating.This experience will LEVEL UP your educational attributes! </span><div><span style="font-family: -webkit-standard; caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; background-color: transparent; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br/></span></span></div>= Priority 34: I&E Conversations - What If??<br/> = = <span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; white-space: pre-wrap; background-color: transparent; caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">WHAT IF???</span><br/> = <span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; white-space: pre-wrap; background-color: transparent; caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"></span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; white-space: pre-wrap; background-color: transparent; caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">A major problem we discovered when conducting the Landscape Canvas is that there is very little conversation about innovation and entrepreneurship opportunities on campus outside those opportunities themselves. For example, I am in a program in the College of Business called Business as Mission. This program is geared toward equipping students to integrate theological and business knowledge to create sustainable solutions to pressing problems in the world. It flows from the belief that God invites people to partner with him in restoring the broken systems of the world and shattered relationships that naturally accompany them. I have been heavily involved in this program, but very few people outside of the College of Business have ever heard of it (and many in it as well). Thus this amazing opportunity for growth and skill advancement - Level Up!development of innovative ideas is lost for many students simply because of lack of knowledge. </span> <span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; white-space: pre-wrap; background-color: transparent; caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"></span><span style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; white-space: pre-wrap; background-color: transparent;">Two additional pain points with this problem are lack of access to resources for students with ideas and the lack of belief in themselves. The latter is a major issue, and is one that is more the focus of Lydia’s project, Power Hour, above. The former, however, is one that is very important to recognize within the context of the WHAT IF??? problem. Simply stated, what if students with ideas had access to other students, faculty, alumni and other external university supporters with similar ideas?</span>
