Ohio State is a very large university and it makes it challenging to not only connect with people outside of our majors but also to navigate the 1,400+ student organizations and several different branch campuses throughout the state. I think this could be very useful and something my cohort has discussed in the past as an issue at Ohio State.

Hey! This innovation council idea was really good. I think this helps students to increase their cross campus interactions. people coming together and discussing about the same ideas will works out for sure , because it's very unique and useful. Every student will have many ideas but some people are lacking in implementing it . If they met any new people with the same idea, Then they will get confidence to continue. So, there will have many chances to share and implement their ideas. Developing an innovation council on campus can attribute to many new developments from the campus. Also with this various majors and disciplines can connect and understand one another. Conducting events and fun activities people will finds it interesting and feels relaxed . Surely it helps to build more connections .This makes people to work unitedly which makes the end product efficient.


Universitas Terbuka or Open University Indonesia is a campus with many branches that aim to provide high education in all regions in Indonesia. Open University has students from all over Indonesia and even abroad. This makes the Open University a university that has many students from various regions and backgrounds. Not only majors but we have different backgrounds. With this innovation council, students from open universities throughout Indonesia will gather to develop and implement their innovative ideas according to their interests and talents. This is very good because, with the innovation council program, students will get a place to channel their interests and get many relationships from various backgrounds which makes this very unique.


This post is so cool the idea of cross-campus student innovation council is a unique but engaging one. I think that if many campus can create this they could give so many opportunities and idea. And i think this can also help each university to share their mindset and culture enhancing much more on student activity

This is an awesome idea, drawing from student activism in multiple different fields to foster changes on campus. It does require extensive research into the campus student activism landscape (i.e the type of student societies present on campus & their objectives, students' affinity for innovation) before implementation, though. Trying to create such an innovation council in a university with more leisure student societies might be difficult. I can only imagine the difficulties my student team will face trying to draw innovation ideas from the Kanye West Appreciation Society & the Quidditch Society then merging those ideas with the Law Society, for example.
