== Strategy #2- Enhancing Student Engagement == The primary goal of this is to bring students together purely for the purpose of the social experience. Students that we have spoken with speak very highly of the programs and clubs that are offered, but the common thread is that they all tie to something academic, sports-related, etc. This makes sense, nothing wrong with that. This is an institution of higher learning and funding and support should go towards those endeavors. That said - we believe that there is a gap that can be filled in the social spectrum. After speaking with other UIF fellows about successful programs at their schools, we would like to implement a handful of social clubs that are only for the purpose of bringing good people together. Ideally, out of this students (and maybe even faculty and staff) can form unexpected alliances and share ideas. Participants dictate their own agenda and talking points, the only planned piece is the food. The best part about this - it's incredibly easy. If you bring food into a room, people will show up. That is a tenant of the college experience. I plan to steal an idea from Drew Spooner to kick this off and then we'll go from there. Ideally we'll do this the first Wednesday of the month over lunch in one of the common areas. February - Donut Club March - Bruschetta Club April - Pizza Club
