If you are fortunate enough to be working with several advisors, then be sure to arrange a system that allows you to maximize your support from each. Set up a strong communication network that everyone can easily access and be sure to help foster relations between your advisors. Periodic meetings will help your advisors to know what they can do to help.
== Pop-Up Classes Class ==
Sample text An example of a Pop-up class idea for entrepreneurial-minded students could be  “Pitching your idea to an Investors” The attendees would form small groups and come up with a business idea.  By the end of the workshop, each group would have to pitch their new, innovative idea to each instructor, like a future investor.             Students, faculty, and the community would be reinforced to remember that no idea is dumb during the workshop. Imagine how many people called the person who created the float, pool Noodle dumb when he or she pitched the idea to someone, that person is now very rich.  The purpose is to be brave when creating ideas, have fun, and learn crucial, hands on skills that will help accelerate their success. One does not learn without taking chances and what a better place to try new experiences than in a Pop-Up class.             University Innovation Fellow, Timothy Moore, discussed with a group of UIF candidates how his team and he created a curriculum for their innovation center.  Moore’s team was so successful with their marketing strategies to get attendees, James Madison University developed locations around campus to “ educate, collaborate, and Innovate” for students, faculty, and the surrounding community.  The JMU X Labs started with very few courses and now have classes that stretch from ''Drones'' to ''Hacking for Defense'' and all the way to ''Augmented & Virtual Reality Design.''             Their team marketed the Pop-Up classes one month in advance with- ·       Flyers and Posters around campus ·       Social Medias- Facebook page, instagram, twitter ·       School T.V screens around campus ·       Stepping into various classes (with the teachers permission of course) and pitching one to two minute informational to the students about what the course will be about.             The awesome part of Pop- Up courses is that it connects students around campus that might have not had the opportunity to meet each other due to a difference in majors.  Students studying chemistry that may have business aspirations also could take a Pop- Up class that is located in the Business department of school or vice versa. These types of expansions throughout campus are going to benefit and encourage students from all walks of life and majors to learn to work together and generate ideas that will change the world.
