== Tactic #2: Connecting UNC with the greater Research Triangle Park region and surrounding universities. ==
== Tactic #etc. 3: I&E Student Ambassadors for academic departments without an I&E Agenda at UNC == Students from every academic discipline and corner of the university possess the potential to employ the entrepreneurial framework to their ideas and there is some incredible research and new knowledge being produced at UNC. However, we do not have an efficient and effective way to capture much of this work and reach out to many of the faculty and students who do not traditionally fall in the I&E network. For example: English, Philosophy, History etc.<br/div>The goals of this approach are as follows: #Bring a focus on innovation and the entrepreneurial framework to every department at UNC#To find cutting research and innovative ideas that are being worked on and communicate it to the rest of campus in an effort to accelerate progress, magnify impact or inspire others to act#Map with more granularity the innovative and entrepreneurial endeavors throughout the university so we can address their needs and market their work#Encourage students and faculty in different departments to embrace entrepreneurial framework and take advantage of the momentum that’s building on campus for their respective work.#Create a team of students who will be committed to creating I&E programming in different departments and finding students/faculty with ideas who could use the I&E network resources to further their work. '''Team Leader: '''Rangoli Bhattacharjee '''Milestones:''' #Leverage the Chancellor’s Student Innovation Team to create a small team of 4 students who will lead this idea#Identify academic programs/departments at UNC that have not communicated an I&E agenda#Find students in each of these departments who are willing to be I&E Ambassador for these representatives#Develop training for the I&E Ambassadors#Provide these students ambassadors resources such as design thinking training and event management training such that they can host events and start conversations in each of these departments Host a symposium/showcase (we host the Innovation Showcase every year) at the end of the year to invite faculty and students from these departments and officially welcome them into the I&E network. This will be chance for these departments to showcase their latest advancements and a chance for Innovate Carolina to understand how we can support them.
