Home to a variety of events and organizations working to develop a community of cross disciplinary creators and thinkers. Kent is home to Kent Hack Enough, the largest hackathon in Ohio. It is one of the only, if not the only, school to have a University specific Makers Faire. The issue is that the university is very decentralized, so every department and college acts as a separate entity and communication is sometimes lacking. Each part of the University has events and groups that are actively doing cool things, but it is very difficult to join all of the different groups on campus as one. This issue expands across Kent State University's main campus as well as between all 8 regional campuses. Kent is beginning to recognize and celebrate it’s makers and entrepreneurs more than ever before, it just needs to develop a way to get more of a community involved in the conversation.</span></span>

At the time of this writing, we have successfully implemented a physical coworking space in the University Library, called The Fridge. The next step to take with this is to expand the community we have around this space.
== <span style="font-size:large;">Tactic 1: Network Expansion </span> ==
The easiest way to expand our community is to use the resource we already have on hand - the students who already frequently work in The Fridge. We should encourage these students to reach out to their friends and encourage them to become a part of this community of makers.
== <span style="font-size:large;">Tactic 2: Student Org Expansion </span> ==
Currently, the only organization involved with The Fridge is HacKSU. However, there are many other organizations on campus also doing cool stuff! We need to find a way to bring these organizations into The Fridge and become part of our community.
 
== <span style="font-size:large;">Tactic 3: Build Team</span> ==
 
Use teacher recommendations to build a team of representatives for each school.
 
From there set up a online network for students to access so they can begin their ventures.
 
== <span style="font-size:large;">Tactic 4: Attract Students</span> ==
 
Host event that promotes innovation and allow students to understand what resources they have, and entice them to join out network.
 
== <span style="font-size:large;">Tactic 5: Follow-up</span> ==
 
Have follow-up constantly and recieve feedback from our team to see how we can contnue to expand our network.

Students are often unaware of numerous internships, scholarships, organizations, and competitions that they can participate in. The main line of communication for these types of resources is e-mail; however, many students refuse to read them. We will make an engaging publication that includes internship, scholarship, events, and organization information. This publication will be distributed by the advisors.</span></span></span></div><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><span style="font-size:small;"><span id="docs-internal-guid-925b1d77-7e3a-d8d0-3df8-881383bb36dd"><span style="font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; background-color: transparent;">·</span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; background-color: transparent;">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</span><span style="font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; background-color: transparent;">Meet with the head advisor: Heather Ryan –November, 2015</span></span></span></div><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><span style="font-size:small;"><span id="docs-internal-guid-925b1d77-7e3a-d8d0-3df8-881383bb36dd"><span style="font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; background-color: transparent;">·</span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; background-color: transparent;">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</span><span style="font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; background-color: transparent;">Gather internship, event, organization, and scholarship information and build a team of writers –December, 2015</span></span></span></div><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><span style="font-size:small;"><span id="docs-internal-guid-925b1d77-7e3a-d8d0-3df8-881383bb36dd"><span style="font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; background-color: transparent;">·</span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; background-color: transparent;">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</span><span style="font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; background-color: transparent;">Print and distribute publication to advisors – January, 2016</span></span></span></div><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><span style="font-size:small;"><span id="docs-internal-guid-925b1d77-7e3a-d8d0-3df8-881383bb36dd"><span style="font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; background-color: transparent;">·</span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; background-color: transparent;">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</span><span style="font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; background-color: transparent;">Target Implementation – Spring, 2016</span></span></span></div><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><span style="font-size:small;"><span id="docs-internal-guid-925b1d77-7e3a-d8d0-3df8-881383bb36dd"><span style="font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; background-color: transparent;">Team Leader: Kristen Boye</span></span></span></div><div><span style="font-size:small;"><span id="docs-internal-guid-925b1d77-7e3a-d8d0-3df8-881383bb36dd"><span style="font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; background-color: transparent;">Member: Katie Patterson</span></span></span></div><div><br/></div>

For example, what they look for in a candidate, how they can stand out, what organizations and activities help prepare the applicant, and how to look good on a resume. Students could ask questions as well. Corporations could also hold mock interviews so students have an idea of the questions they will be asked and how to respond properly. The mock interviews could be done by new hires who are familiar with the position our students are in at this point, and could almost act as mentors to prospective individuals.</span></li></ul> == <span style="font-size:large;"><span id="docs-internal-guid-9badf65b-0db4-f612-fae3-7d67437bca41"><span style="font-family: Arial; background-color: transparent; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Tactic 2:</span></span><span style="white-space: pre-wrap; background-color: transparent; font-family: Arial;">Reach Out to Younger Generations</span></span> ==<ul style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><li><span style="font-size: 11pt; white-space: pre-wrap; background-color: transparent; text-align: justify;">There need to be more programs geared towards younger generations to generate interest early on. &nbsp;There are a few existing programs at Kent State, but only cater to pilots. &nbsp;Aviation includes air traffic control, aerospace engineering, dispatch, airport management, propulsion studies, and many other subjects. &nbsp;Exposing these opportunities to kids will create more jobs in aviation.</span></li></ul> == <span style="font-size:large;"><span id="docs-internal-guid-9badf65b-0db4-f612-fae3-7d67437bca41"><span style="font-family: Arial; background-color: transparent; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Tactic 3:</span></span><span style="white-space: pre-wrap; background-color: transparent; font-family: Arial;">Increase Internship Opportunity</span></span> ==<ul style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><li><span style="font-size: 11pt; white-space: pre-wrap; background-color: transparent;">Many regional airlines invest in the KSU flight program and are eager to participate in events such as the Aeronautics Career Fair. This is because airlines are desperate for pilots at this time, and are seeking out college students who are close to getting their minimum hours. &nbsp;By creating more internship opportunities for students, ones that are more flexible in scheduling and are geared towards a learning and networking experience, those individuals will be more apt to apply to that airline. &nbsp;Internships would also help better prepare pilots for being a part of a professional aviation environment, and not just the flying aspect. &nbsp;</span></li></ul>
