These students are unique because they are not looking to “hang out” around campus or get involved with traditional students who do not share their interests and perspectives. Some of our previous strategies will be able to cater to non-traditional students, but there are some specific tactics we can implement to reach these students. Tactics: -As part of innovation week hold a night for non-traditional students, that welcomes children and provides food - Post information about campus innovation and entrepreneurship activities in newsletters - Random innovation “happenings” throughout campus in between classes -Innovation fair, an event that is aimed at children where students of all ages can come learn about and practice innovation -Currently active or veteran military student night, casual atmosphere where students can practice and learn about innovation
