<div>Communicating between areas of study and departments for the purpose of collaboration will benefit the community by expanding the effects of the liberal arts approach at William Jewell College. Inviting faculty from other departments to lectures, shadow a class, collaborate on curriculum, and share ideas are the objectives of interdepartmental communication. For example, if a class is discussing a subject that relates to that of another discipline, it could be enriching to bring a faculty member from the other department to speak on the subject. Furthermore, if a department had a program that could be of interest to a student outside the major, faculty to faculty communication could facilitate communicating this program to their students.</div><div><br/></div>
== Tactic 3: Unifying Silos<br/> ==
<div>As students have expressed, they feel comfortable communicating with faculty in their own discipline, but are hesitant to contact those who are not in their disciple. Breaking down silos that block communication could aid in encouraging students talking to faculty in other disciplines. As William Jewell is a liberal arts institution, it is a goal of the college to create well rounded individuals who value critical thinking. This goal can be facilitated through accessibility to the whole faculty, not just those in one's department.</div>= Priority 5: Prospective Student Outreach =<div>Currently William Jewell Admissions have not made entrepreneurship and innovation a key aspect to market about Jewell when reaching out to students. This is very much related to our marketing initiative. The goal of this initiative would be for our Leadership Circle to build a relationship with Admissions in order to develop different ways for admissions to share about all of Jewell's entrepreneurial resources and opportunities. This will be beneficial in that it will bring in more students who are driven by entrepreneurship and innovation at the same time as having all students coming into Jewell with the knowledge of opportunities and resources that may seem hidden to even current students from the start.<br/div>== Tactic 1: Create a Relationship and Collect Information ==</div>The first step is to create a relationship with Admissions and collect information on specific information the Admissions Department current gives to prospective students through social media, mass marketing, website information, high school career fairs, campus visits, and brochures. Collaborating and building a relationship with Admissions means we will begin to collaborate with them on ideas of ways to get information out to prospective students.</div>== Tactic 2: Idea Collaboration<br/>==<div>The next step would be to collaborate closely with Admissions on ways we can get this information out. For example, we may decide social media is the best way to go, or possibly a brochure. We want to plan out what ways of communication we will use. On campus tours would be a great way to get the information out. If we added it into the tour, all students who visit would have the information; the student could also be given a brochure of the information as well as a link to a site on the Jewell page that talks about all of these opportunities and resources. These ideas will be created with Admissions fully involved so that we can make a significant impact.</div>== Tactic 3: Project Execution ==<div>Lastly, these ideas would then need to be executed. Of course, after and during execution we will need to be evaluating how well the communication works. Hopefully, these projects created in tactic two would have a great impact on the knowledge Freshman have about student resources and opportunities in innovation and entrepreneurship. </div>
