=== Connecting the Dots: Cultivating a Culture for Innovation & Entrepreneurship<br/span><br/~~span~~>'''- Primary Contact: [[Shalin Jyotishi|Shalin Jyotishi]]''' ===

<li>'''''Write a proposal to establish a Thinc at UGA doctoral assistantship for students in student affairs and higher ed administration academic departments'''''<ol style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;">

<li>Premise: Currently, UGA's campus-wide entrepreneurial initiative is managed by a part-time committee of administrators and faculty. This makes it difficult for I&E to progress on campus. Greg Wilson, a current fellow and PhD student, has significantly improved Thinc at UGA through his Thinc-a-thon series. Greg will be graduating in May which is why it's essential for fellows to identify ways to ensure sustainability, growth and institutionalization of Thinc at UGA</li>

<li>Meet with campus and community stakeholders to gather feedback, ideas and thoughts</li>

<li>Spring/Summer 2015</li>

<li>'''''Develop infrastructure and strategies for Thinc Planning committee to easily disseminate information to community and student stakeholders'''''<ol style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;">

<li>'''''Establish National Academy of Engineering Grand Challenge Scholars Program at UGA'''''<ol style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;">

<li>Premise: There are a myriad of resources available to students at the University of Georgia. In addition to the issue of awareness, there is little incentive for students to pursue opportunities in innovation and entrepreneurship, especially outside of the business school. The NAE GCSP will galvanize opportunities on campus in the form of one incentive for engineering students. The program is in existence on several UGA peer and aspirational campuses, and will set up the engineering school to continue to develop its culture of innovation and economic engagement.</li>

<li>Work with Leadership Circle to finish program proposal</li>

<li>'''''Create a “What If” Idea book for future fellows/recruit "torchbearers"'''''<ol style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;">

<li>Premise: Under the leadership of President Jere Morehead and Vice-Presidents Jennifer Frum and David Lee, innovation and entrepreneurship along with the broader mission of economic development has come a long way. However, this May most fellows will graduate, leaving a dire gap in student engagement with I&E. UGA needs new champions of I&E to invest time into the ecosystem.</li>

<li>Work with faculty, staff, students and fellows to recruit a stellar, diverse and ambitious Fall 2015 fellowship cohort and request funding from OVPR and PSO for a third set of University Innovation Fellows.</li>
