<span style="font-size:xx-large;">'''Strategic Priorities'''</span>
<span style="font-size:large;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">1. '''Encourage student Awareness and Involvement on Campus'''</span></span>
<span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">The University Innovation Fellows at Morgan State University are unique because our team is composed of individuals who have different backgrounds and experiences creating an abundance of ideas and perspectives. The team’s goal is to help bring about a change that the students want to see, and also help raise awareness and understanding of the importance of entrepreneurship and innovation. Morgan State offers many useful resources but they are either limited to certain majors or most students simply do not know they exist. Our goal is to make all labs, workshops and development centers accessible to every student.</span></span>

<span style="font-size:large;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">2. '''Create an Innovation, Commercialization, and Entrepreneurship (ICE) Center:'''</span></span>
<span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">This premier urban innovation center will foster creativity, improve entrepreneurial skill sets, and increase interdisciplinary collaborations. It will include a skills lab for learning hard skills. Weekly tech tutorials and workshops will also be given in this space.</span></span>
<span style="font-size:large;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"> </span></span>
<span style="font-size:large;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">'''3. Install BearBoards throughout campus.'''</span></span>
<span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">To implement this project, the steps that need to be taken are:</span></span>
<span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">1. Present Idea to Stakeholders, and check the interest and support levels</span></span>
<span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">2. Ask students on campus how they would like BearBoards</span></span>
<span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">3. Come up with specific design and prototype of BearBoards</span></span>
<span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">4. Reveal the prototype to Stakeholders and possible Sponsors and Donors</span></span>
<span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">5. Begin the installation process for the BearBoards</span></span>
<span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">6. Announce the opening of the BearBoards and promote usage throughout campus.</span></span>
<span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"> </span></span>
<span style="font-size:large;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">'''4. Product Development Center'''</span></span>
<span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">The University Innovation Fellows plan to bring a Product Development Center to Morgan State University. This center will be a makerspace which allows students to develop prototypes. Morgan is home to many great ideas and wonderful entrepreneurs but students do not have a space to make those dreams come to fruition.</span></span>
<span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"> </span></span>
<span style="font-size:large;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">''' 5.''' '''Design Thinking Workshops'''</span></span>
<span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">Design thinking workshops that involve both engineering and business students will be beneficial because students will collaborate ideas when working with such individuals form different fields. Mixing the two majors can have a huge impact on the university and growth of the students as well. Design thinking invokes a new process for developing answers to problems from multidimensional perspectives making it an excellent project.</span></span>
