= Student Group Campus Converge =
The University of Minensota has over 900 student groups. Some are more active than others but all engage students in some way that improves the student experience. Some groups even have tangible affects in the area of Innovation and Entreprneurship. The idea behind a campus converge would be to bring leaders from the most prominent or high potential groups together so that they can learn about eachother's initiatives and find ways to improve their operations and collaborate.
The student's haven't directly been asking for an event like this. It's hard to conceive the potential of such an event when one is so focused on their own student group. Still, the chance to get passionate peopel talking about what they're passionate about seems like a high potential opportunity and it's one we'd like to pursue.
As UIF, our job would be to figure out what groups would most benefit from meeting eachother and then arranging for the actual event. Costs are minimal and the real obstacles lie in convincing student leaders that they have something to learn from working with others accross campus.
