Union College needs to further develop innovation and entrepreneurship on campus. A course titled ICE (Innovation, Creativity, and the Entrepreneurial Mindset) will be implemented in the Spring of 2017, however this is merely the tip of the iceberg. We should now start to host more consistent seminars, workshops, and classes pertaining to innovation and entrepreneurship. These activities will all be interactive to allow students to start thinking and delving deeper into these topics. External speakers that are experts in these fields should be invited to talk to increase student attendance. Once these seminars and classes are well-established amongst the campus, this will likely increase overall innovation and entrepreneurship on campus, thus creating a general culture change. Since this is not immediately feasible, this can likely be implemented within a three year period. Gradually Union College can start to host seminars and workshops until they are a regular and consistent part of our community. Target date to start implementing more seminars and workshops: September, 2017

Since college students typically show a lot of concern for career options and windows, I would assume that an opportunity to learn how to network and get your resume reviewed is intuitively valuable. I would try to get my event as much exposure as possible through social medias, posters and mouth to mouth. In the case that my assumption is false, I would connect to the career center and try to get this event advertised and endorsed. With this tactic, I should be able to reach the maximum amount of students.

=== '''Tactic #7: U SHADOW DAY''' ===

''To combat the problem of disconnection between students and alumni, I propose a U Shadow Day at Union College, in which students will choose to shadow an alumnus of their choice who is working in the students’ interested fields. The program will be open to students but upperclassmen are given priorities considering that they are likely to have a more concrete idea of what they want to do after graduation. A similar program has been implemented in many different colleges and universities, but U Shadow Day will be the first program of its kind at Union College. Because Union students have a long winter break (6 weeks), the program is likely to happen then, but Spring Break is not ruled out as a tentative option.'' In order to make the program a success, there needs to be a close collaboration between Career Center, different departments and students on campus. Since this program will increase students’ knowledge on their interested fields and foster a stronger connection between alumni and the school, I expect all parties mentioned above will put in their best efforts.</pspan>
