*''Description: A great resource '' My idea for students on campus is an entrepreneur in residence. In the spring 2014 the Wake Forest ICE program Start is bring their first entrepreneur in residence to campus to co-teach classes a combination of both 1,000 pitches and be a resource for studentscrowd sourcing aspects. I think that having bring a ''student ''entrepreneur in residence would also benefit our website to campus. The idea where students can post videos of their venture or meaningful impact ideas would be a great addition to have several successful student entrepreneurs act as mentors the I&E ecosystem. Furthermore, I think adding a crowd sourcing aspect to upcoming ventures the website could be helpful and aspiring entrepreneursdifferent. Student entrepreneurs in residence In my mind, students would have an idea of university resourcesshort videos on their ideas and other students could watch them, contactsprovide funding, technologyoffer other resources, IP, legal clinics, and other support or join teams. It would be a combination&nbsp;of funding also team formation for students with nascent new student ventures. This I think this would also fill the gap for break down barriers across campus between science, business, engineering, and liberal arts students who wish to start a venture but are not sure where to begin. Overall, they would help navigate students I think interdisciplinary teams could form and assist in ways the entrepreneur in residence may not have knowledge aboutgain momentum with a strong online presence. &nbsp;

I think that bring a website to campus where students can post videos of their venture or meaningful impact ideas would be a great addition to the I&E ecosystem. Furthermore, I think adding a crowd sourcing aspect to the website could be helpful and different. In my mind, students would have short videos on their ideas and other students could watch them, provide funding, offer other resources, or join teams. It would be a combination&nbsp;of funding also team formation for new student ventures. I think this would also break down barriers across campus between science, business, engineering, and liberal arts students. Overall, I think interdisciplinary teams could form and gain momentum with a strong online presence.   *Team Leader: John Marbach (Program Developer and Project Leader)   *Milestones: Refine project idea and plan Jan 2014, develop website March 2014, run trials May/Summer 2014, Launch 2015   <u>Tactic #3: Improvement of I&E Infrastructure</u>&nbsp;   *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 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 develop but would take innovation and entrepreneurship on Wake Forest's campus to a completely new level.   *Team Leader: Mike <span data-scayt_word="tantum" data-scaytid="7">Tantum</span> and future University Innovation Fellows&nbsp;   *Milestones: ' Develop short and long term plan for improvement along with methods "How to" May 2014, Continue with plans/contact ICE leaders/University leadership Fall 2014, refine plans and reevaluate Jan 2015&nbsp;
