'''STRATEGY #1: IMPROVE COMMUNICATION CHANNELS ACROSS DEPARTMENTS ='''

The communication on the topic of entrepreneurship and innovation between different departments and schools is spotty and unclear. A straightforward method of communication for planning and advertising events could greatly improve efficiency.

·         Identify key contacts from different departments

·         Set up a meeting to discuss common goal and resources

·         Create a regular medium for representatives from each department to keep in contact

'''STRATEGY #2: ESTABLISH COMMUNICATION CHANNEL WITH STUDENTS ='''

There is no clear map of entrepreneurs across students nor a method for students to view all the resources through a single medium. By creating a database and/or cumulative calendar it would be easier for students to keep updated with opportunities.

·         Reach out to campus leaders to identify all present opportunities

·         Collect opportunities on a calendar to be synced with different resources across campus

·         Advertise events on the calendar so students will learn where to find future opportunities

'''STRATEGY #3: INTRODUCE A METHOD FOR STUDENTS TO RECIEVE FEEDBACK ='''

There is currently no main channel for students to go through to receive feedback from both their ~~fellow~~ students and faculty members. Feedback is necessary for dictating where improvement is required.

·         Identify campus leaders who would partake in a feedback panel.

·         ~~Identfy~~ Identify students who would be interested in hearing other ideas and concerns in regards to entrepreneurship and innovation.

·         Plan ~~reoccuring  ~~reoccurring meetings for students to attend to ~~recieve~~ receive feedback on their ideas.

'''STRATEGY #4: Make resources available to students easily ~~acessible~~ accessible and usable ='''

Many first -year students are unaware of the many resources available on our campus.  This results in many students not discovering programs that apply to them until they are already upperclassmen.

·         Identify programs of direct I & E value to undergraduate students

·         Condense those resources onto one singular website of forum

·         Effectively advertise this ~~resoruce~~ resource so that students ~~ffeel~~ feel enabled to pursue the opportunities around them

'''STRATEGY #5: CONVEY TO STUDENTS THE POWER AND IMPORTANCE OF SOCIAL NETWORKING ='''

Many opportunities arise from simply speaking with ~~othr~~ other students, faculty, and alumni.  ~~Evenn~~ Even if your interests lay predominately in STEM, the social networking component is an ~~inescapaable~~ inescapable component needed for ~~sucess~~success.

·         Create workshops to improve ~~students~~ students’ abilities to give elevator pitches/public speaking skills

·         Arrange frequent meeting with faculty involved with I & E programs across campus

·         Encourage students to build a strong resume to convey their value and aspirations to others = =
