For a lesson in “How to setup and teach a new class or academic offering”, we will be walking you through the development of a new on-campus organization. We will discuss some pointers and checklist items that should be considered for each step and then it will be applied to the club of interest.
Gregory Wilson, a second year PhD student at the University of Georgia and former current University Innovation Fellow, was interviewed for his experience in founding an innovation and design club known as the What I.F.? club.

''Gregory was named a UIF in May 2013 when he generated a Landscape Analysis of his University of Georgia campus. In the spring, he obtained initial interest from four main people, but once the summer began, the interest diminished until the fall of 2013. Gregory attended a class the second week of classes to introduce the idea for the club and noticed a large majority were interested. The first meetings were then held in early September. The timeline for this individual club from idea to implementation was May to September, four months.''
