== Tactic #2: An I&E LLCInnovation and Entrepreneurship Living-Learning Community<br/> ==
*Description: Creative ideas are best faciliated when in the right mindset. Being in a creative mindset means being surrounded by support, encouragement and often just an open ear for feedback. UNC has living and learning communities geared towards everything from sustainable living to immersive-language adaption programs. Yet there are 32 residence halls at UNC and only 9 living-learning communities. There is certainly the room and precedent for an LLC for innovation and entrepreneurship to come to Carolina. There is undoubtedly a need for a program like this where incoming students can live an immersive environment with creative, like-minded (yet diverse!) minds. The movement around innovation and entrepreneurship on campus is fastly growing, so the time is prefect to bring this program to life and equip the next class of entreprenurial students with the tools to pursue big ideas right at the beginning of their college careers.
