*<span style="font-size:larger;">Description: Based on the Clemson University Landscape Canvas, this school is committed to the I&E cause. According to "Forward20" the name of Clemson's plan of action to become an even greater university, Clemson is focused on establishing a culture of innovation and entrepreneurship on campus. What is not clear is the strategy Clemson plans to use to establish such a culture. Based on personal experience, trying to explain what innovation and entrepreneurship really means is usually a conglomeration of vague buzzwords, which often means different things to people of different backgrounds/disciplines/motivations. However, I&E's meaning to each individual quickly becomes clear once the tools are in their hands. To put I&E in the hands of students, we propose a series of activities targeted to first year students. These activities are tailored to show first year students how their specific interests/values can fit in a career force committed to I & E. The culmination of these events is a multi-disciplinary hackathon/3 day startup that brings students from various disciplines together to put their passions to good use. The goal of these activities is to inspire students to realize they can participate in the I&E movement (and why they should), as well as funnel students into more established I&E orgs on campus (like the DEN, or Clemson IDEAS)</span>
