*Milestones: TBD

*Washington State University Vancouver is a relatively small school.  The campus is quickly explored on foot with every building mere minutes from each other.  Students share library and study space and have classes for multiple topics in every building.  Despite the tight campus and small student population there is little to no interdisciplinary collaboration on projects that aren’t specifically for a general education course.  It is not uncommon to hear rumors that the collaboration is halted by faculty who are dedicated to their research and unwilling to interact with professors outside their expertise.  This mindset halts the progress that could be achieved by bringing together opposing and differing views among students.  Often times it isn’t that the students are unwilling to work together but merely that there are no opportunities to do so.  This tactic is ultimately vague but is something that needs to be considered and addressed.  It is a tactic that will forever be ongoing through the willingness of students to work with one another.  This could include student to student teaching, interdisciplinary competitions or gallery showcases that require multiple disciplines participate.  A successful venture is one that takes into consideration every possible outlet and makes use of the resources that other people can provide.  To see an innovation or entrepreneurship project go through to success and fill the reframing gap at WSUV there must be a deeper interdisciplinary connection on the campus.
