Changes

*Description: My plan for improvement of the Wake Forest ICE program infrastructure has many short and long term goals. My beginning goals would be to assess all of the ways to improve the infrastructure, develop a going forward plan, and develop a step by step process and timeline. This plan would include improvements to the Deacon Babcock Demon incubator which is off campus. This would be moved back onto campus with new space and be better advertised to students. Next I will consistently work with leadership in the ICE program and the university to find or develop innovation space on campus. Wake Forest is in need of design thinking, innovation space, and lab space for entrepreneurs. This is a big task but would provide a plethora of resources for student entrepreneurs at Wake Forest. Furthermore, I would like to see the Wake Forest undergraduate school foster a closer relationship with the downtown Biotech Place. This would be an interesting relationship to look into and see the potential for undergraduate students. All of these aspect will take many years to developbut would take innovation and entrepreneurship on Wake Forest's campus to a completely new level.
