==Priority 1: Building a Commuter Space==
A commuter space provides a dedicated environment for off-campus students to feel included, meet others, and access resources. Since commuters might feel disconnected, this space serves as a central hub for engagement with campus services, by providing equal opportunity to feel welcomed on campus.

*Our cohort is looking to have a functioning prototype / model by the end of the 2024 / 2025 school year.

==Priority 2: Improving Tutoring Services with Mentorship and Incentives==
A stronger tutoring program with mentorship and incentives makes academic support more attractive and effective. This program can work in tandem with the other two projects by bringing mentors or tutors into the commuter space to reach more students, ensuring those resources and support systems are readily accessible and encouraging a culture of peer support.

==Priority 3: Developing Resources for Higher Utilization==
When more students are aware of and comfortable using available resources (like technical equipment), it builds a stronger mindset for innovation and growth. This helps increase the likelihood that students will succeed academically and socially by reducing stress and cultivating creativity.

===Key Tactics===
*TBD*TBD*TBDIdentify why students have not heard of the spaces and/or why they do not use them.
*TBDBring awareness to the different maker spaces and labs available on campus.*Create resources to help students feel more comfortable using the equipment.*Host events to get students into the spaces and familiarize themselves with each space.*Campaign for professors to involve the spaces more than they already do.
