*<span style="font-size: 17px; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; background-color: transparent">Description: To implement a database with Alumni profiles and information that can be accessed by current students and other alumni with a secure log in. Alumni can also opt out of having their profile on the database, if not willing to share personal information. This database will be similar to linked-in just for Wofford. This will allow students and alumni to access information conveniently and efficiently so that they have better communication and connection within the Wofford community. Also, I hope to update Terrier Link, which is our career database and possibly join it with the Alumni database. Many current students are unaware of this resource and not using it to the best of their ability, because it is not easy to understand or quick.</span>*<span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 17px; white-space: pre-wrap; background-color: transparent">Team Leader: Alex Arsi</span>

<span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 17px; white-space: pre-wrap">Our intention is that this database will help students connect easily to internships, careers, and alumni, and visa versa. This is important for innovation and entrepreneurship because it allows students to be able to take self intiative to have lunch or a meeting with people older and wiser than themselves. This will allow students to branch out of their avenues of their major and explore themselves and their futures. Our hope is that through this database that we can change the sigma of people sole focus on themselves, whether it be grades or having fun. College is preparing us for life and we must look forward to make sure we are the most prepared.</span>

Among these topics should be recognising a need, product design, design thinking, risk taking, startup management, and other topics that are central to entrepreneurship and innovation. The event will be held in the fall of 2015, as the event will require at least five months to plan and get off the ground, as estimated by TED.</span></span></li>

Even so, someone will likely pick up this project, as we find it important. The startup weekend will follow from the TEDx event, and we plan to use them both to effectively cultivate the entrepreneurship environment.</span></span>
