Add the tentative details of your stakeholder meeting on your Team Workspace mural. We are asking you to only schedule one stakeholder meeting per campus, ideally around week 5 or 6 of training(week of September 27). After this meeting, we will ask you are required to submit artifacts to us. These artifacts may include (such as photos, screen shots, attendee lists, agendas and outcomes.

# The other important aspect of this meeting is to simply bring together the campus I&E community. Innovation and entrepreneurship come from interdisciplinary collaboration. If done right, many of the stakeholders will be from distinctly different departmental/college silos. By networking them together, you greatly improve the chances for student and faculty coordination and collaboration over time. You'll come to understand who is already connected to whom. And, you may catalyze some new connections between potential collaborators. Finally, it'll be valuable for them to meet the Fellows team at your school and see you as a key resource.
# Include your faculty champion and all Fellows currently at your school. By this we mean, don't just leave this responsibility to you and the candidates currently in training. The Fellows and your faculty champion are instrumental to continued success and this is a great way to illustrate that continuity.

Think about making the event a great experience for all involved. Space matters. If the space isn't inspiring, use images and artifacts to inspire participants. As people arrive and during portions of the event when people are networking, play carefully selected background music … not too loud, but just right to set the mood and tone. Here's a [https://open.spotify.com/playlist/0pYV5HEei65HC6EWUbPRA9?si=8d78ed1cc07f4c37 Spotify UIF Chill Playlist] for some ideas. A small budget for snacks or pizza is always helpful to encourage socialization, but if you're lacking a budget, it’s not the end of the world. People are there for a shared purpose. So, be creative and make it meaningful! Post photos and comments about the event in the forum.

|title=Advice from a successful faculty sponsorFaculty Champion
|content=<br>
The following two pages are recommended reading from a very successful faculty champion Faculty Champion who believes in the power of student-led change. His experience in leadership within the military and in business school enables him to mentor several Fellows in the art of understanding the way people can and do exert power. When conscientiously aware of how people are interacting with you, and how best to interact with certain people, we have the ability to go beyond institutional resistance or feelings of your campus not liking ideas being shared. We have the ability to build a coalition of support, and expand our base of power, by leveraging Fellows, and also student leaders across the institution.<br><br>
