==Tactic #1: Regional Meet-up==
*Description: The goal is to connect corporate environments with higher education. We will approach this by connecting with well-known and widely respected corporate entities such as Google in order to organize "high-demand/interest" events and talks out of our ICE resources. All events should be informational, interactive and the hope is to connect students with corporate resources as they progress through their course-load and approach graduation.
