Fellow creates a proposal for a problem</span></span>'''<div><span id="docs-internal-guid-72b63453-6100-7738-121c-4140fb8e7bdd"><span style="font-size: 16px; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">The initial step towards solving a problem is to create a solution proposal. A one-page document that lists the problem and the proposal in short will suffice. Thanks to Dr. Mary Foster of Morgan State University, the following attached template can be used towards your proposal. Here is an example:</span></span>
<span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px; white-space: pre-wrap; line-height: 1.38; background-color: transparent;">Problem: Lack of communication between stakeholders/students and students/students</span>

<span id="docs-internal-guid-72b63453-6100-7738-121c-4140fb8e7bdd"><span style="font-size: 16px; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Connecting with an advisor is supercritical. Find a faculty member who has a serious dedication towards entrepreneurship and someone who has the ability to break through departmental silos. It is very important to check up with your advisor often to make sure that you are both on the same page. If the person you have chosen to be as your advisor does not seem motivated or interested, then find a new advisor!</span></span>

At this meeting, you can collaborate with them, bounce ideas off of them, and potentially create a better solution.</span></span>

Your advisor should have had some sort of contact with a dean to smooth over the introduction process. The main reason to have your advisor make the first approach is so when you pitch your proposal the dean, your name resonate with them.</span></span><ol start="5" style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><li>'''<span id="docs-internal-guid-72b63453-6100-7738-121c-4140fb8e7bdd"><span style="vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">5.

You should not be afraid to speak with a dean, as they are all interested in improving the education of their students.</span></span>
