<span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span id="docs-internal-guid-e0c6c1a9-7fff-1ad7-d9c0-e60a605224ac" style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><span style="font-size: 11pt; background-color: transparent; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">The lack of connections between students with different backgrounds is a real issue at Menlo College. This situation became even worse because of the Covid-19 pandemic. We want to engage all students with on campus activities, competitions, events and much more (House system). Inspired by the Harry Potter houses, this strategy will foster Menlo College and it’s beautiful diverse community to another level. It is time to break the systematic, societal, and institutional chains and comfort zone to move to the next chapter.

== <span style="font-size:large;">'''Strategy #3: Foster professional development opportunities for all students.'''</span> == <span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; white-space: pre-wrap; background-color: transparent; caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Due to the varying socioeconomic statuses of students on our campus, we recognize that not all students have the means to participate in events/programs/etc out of Menlo College such as conferences that historically have high prices for attendance. Through a student development fund, students would be able to apply for the cost of admission, as well as travel or lodging, if applicable. With this opportunity through funds by either donors or government grants we can empower students' professional development. Along with this, the creation of a student selection committee can review and approve any applications for funding which can provide further engagement and professional experience. Professional conferences provide an opportunity to network and gain knowledge that otherwise would not be available.
