== Convocation Series ==
== Freshman Orientation ==Students are required to attend a number of events in different categories every semester in order to develop all aspects of the human spirit. these events span everything from art installations to resume building workshops. The Convocation Series' leadership component seeks to strengthen the professional capabilities of students through participation in student government and career development workshops. We believe that this requirement is an excellent way to introduce students to the world of Innovation and Entrepreneurship. Through partnerships with organizations like Venture for America, we will bring in lecturers in the fields of I&E to share their stories. If students cannot envision a future in which they apply these skills, they will never decide to pursue them. Females especially suffer from a lack of strong depictions of women in I&E. Bringing in success stories to share everything from the details of education tracks, to what a personal life looks like when entering these fields will provide a basis against which students can begin to envision themselves. The Convocation series, leadership events in particular, also includes professional skill development. These events would be great places to introduce skills in technology, communication and creativity. Introducing themes seen in I&E will make the transition to explicit I&E a little easier.
