Changes

<span style="font-size:larger;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">Here we need to put 4-5 priorities and our project ideas.&nbsp;</span></span> <span style="font-size:larger;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">Huy's Prority to Increase Entrepreneurship at Washington University in St. Louis:</span></span> <span style="font-size:larger;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">I want to address the “learn” category of Washington University’s landscape canvas. In particular, I want to create a Start-up weekend just for undergraduates to give students the opportunity to explore entrepreneurship and their own ideas. Many undergraduates interested in participating in entrepreneurship are intimidated by more experienced graduate level entrepreneurs or industry veterans. I seek to solve this problem by creating a program similar to the Start-Up studio hosted by James Madison University’s Society of Entrepreneurs. The setup of such a program would involve teams that require representation from all undergraduate schools (ie. business, engineering, arts, and sciences). These teams will work to identify and solve a problem on Washington University’s campus (ie. parking, scheduling classes, housing, etc.) In this way, students can demonstrate/learn interdisciplinary collaboration skills, see a direct impact of their innovation in their daily lives, and become inspired to become more entrepreneurially involved. Judges can be recruited from industry to judge the final product ideas, mentor, or provide seed funding. This can also be a hiring opportunity for students because industry values entrepreneurial/creative thinking. I plant to use our new campus wide incubator space that is open to students of all majors.</span></span> <span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: larger;">Below are my outlined steps to carryout this plan of action:</span>   <span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: larger;">[[File:Huymilestone.PNG|border|Huymilestone.PNG]]</span>
