Encourage Student Awareness and Involvement on Campus</span></span>''' = <span style="font-size: 13.3333px; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; background-color: transparent;">Encouraging student awareness is key at Morgan State University. Most students are unaware of the opportunities available to have a successful career and be involved with their school. Students don’t know what they are missing, and this develops into a feeling that there are NO opportunities available to be active and involved in campus. We need to create a new channel that shares opportunities and events maximizes the people it reaches around campus. This will make students on campus active and involved overall</span><span style="font-size: 13.3333px; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; background-color: transparent;">in the I&E movement on campus.</span> <span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.3333px; white-space: pre-wrap; background-color: transparent;">A project that can create this type of channel would be to install BearBoards all over campus. This Board would have two sides. One side for members of the Morgan Community to share and promote events/opportunities. The other side would be used for students/faculty to share their thoughts and concerns regarding issues on campus. We would need to install few of these boards, and spread them out around the campus. Since most of the students are commuters who don't spend much time on campus, it needs to be put in front of them and popular areas where they walk through. Some would also be placed around the living areas to let students on campus be able to share their thoughts and concerns.</span> '''<span id="docs-internal-guid-0767d634-8836-22fd-fadf-f56d1a87da3c"><span style="font-size: 13.3333px; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; background-color: transparent;">Project 1: Install BearBoards throughout the campus.</span></span>''' <span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.3333px; white-space: pre-wrap; background-color: transparent;">To implement this project, the steps that need to be taken are:</span><ol style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><li><span id="docs-internal-guid-0767d634-8836-22fd-fadf-f56d1a87da3c"><span style="font-size: 13.3333px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; background-color: transparent;">Present Idea to Stakeholders, and check the interest and support levels</span></span><br/li><li><span id="docs-internal-guid-0767d634-8836-22fd-fadf-f56d1a87da3c"><span style="font-size: 13.3333px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; background-color: transparent;">Ask students on campus how they would like BearBoards</span></span></li><li><span id="docs-internal-guid-0767d634-8836-22fd-fadf-f56d1a87da3c"><span style="font-size: 13.3333px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; background-color: transparent;">Come up with specific design and prototype of BearBoards</span></span></li><li><span id="docs-internal-guid-0767d634-8836-22fd-fadf-f56d1a87da3c"><span style="font-size: 13.3333px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; background-color: transparent;">Reveal the prototype to Stakeholders and possible Sponsors and Donors</span></span></li><li><span id="docs-internal-guid-0767d634-8836-22fd-fadf-f56d1a87da3c"><span style="font-size: 13.3333px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; background-color: transparent;">Begin the installation process for the BearBoards</span></span></li><li><span id="docs-internal-guid-0767d634-8836-22fd-fadf-f56d1a87da3c"><span style="font-size: 13.3333px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; background-color: transparent;">Announce the opening of the BearBoards and promote usage throughout campus</span></span></li></ol> <span id="docs-internal-guid-1aa4553c-88c2-fd8c-aad6-be7fc1c391a4"><span style="font-size: 14.6666666666667px; font-family: Arial; font-weight: 700; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">2. </span><span style="font-size: 14.6666666666667px; font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span><span style="font-size: 14.6666666666667px; font-family: Arial; font-weight: 700; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Help develop a lab catered to students campus wide </span></span> <span id="docs-internal-guid-1aa4553c-88c2-fd8c-aad6-be7fc1c391a4"><span style="font-size: 14.6666666666667px; font-family: Arial; font-weight: 700; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span><span style="font-size: 14.6666666666667px; font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Project 3: Students at the Morgan State Campus do not have access to a center or facility where one can come and create a prototype. Our vision is to create at a lab room where students can come and collaborate on ideas, work on projects, fabricate ideas. Providing a lab room will help students who don’t have access to equipment or materials, and also help them build on ideas or projects which will encourage innovation. Potentially students could actually develop something they could market which would help students get familiar with entrepreneurship. This lab will lay the foundation for innovations and test the ingenious of those willing to market their idea.</span></span> <span id="docs-internal-guid-1aa4553c-88c2-fd8c-aad6-be7fc1c391a4"><span style="font-size: 14.6666666666667px; font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">To Implement this project:</span></span><ol style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><li><span id="docs-internal-guid-1aa4553c-88c2-fd8c-aad6-be7fc1c391a4"><span style="font-size: 14.6666666666667px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Present the idea and business model to stakeholders</span></span></li><li><span id="docs-internal-guid-1aa4553c-88c2-fd8c-aad6-be7fc1c391a4"><span style="font-size: 14.6666666666667px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Contact departments willing to offer a lab room</span></span></li><li><span><span style="font-size: 14.6666666666667px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Obtain a lab room </span></span></li><li><span id="docs-internal-guid-1aa4553c-88c2-fd8c-aad6-be7fc1c391a4"><span style="font-size: 14.6666666666667px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Find sponsors and funding</span></span></li><li><span id="docs-internal-guid-1aa4553c-88c2-fd8c-aad6-be7fc1c391a4"><span style="font-size: 14.6666666666667px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Buy equipment and material</span></span></li><li><span id="docs-internal-guid-1aa4553c-88c2-fd8c-aad6-be7fc1c391a4"><span style="font-size: 14.6666666666667px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Find students to regulate and upkeep the lab</span></span></li><li><span id="docs-internal-guid-1aa4553c-88c2-fd8c-aad6-be7fc1c391a4"><span style="font-size: 14.6666666666667px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Efforts to hold events and competitions to raise awareness</span></span></li></ol>
