<span id="docs-internal-guid-942f1406-64a8-8ec4-6896-5ffcd35813e8"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">This information was gathered by interviewing &nbsp;Macy Tush, a current University Innovation Fellow at William Jewell College. She led a team and selected 20 unique individuals to attend an event at a local pub. Each person was personally invited using a business card with just a time and place to create mystery. The event brought together twenty people, who may not have interacted outside of that event, to voice their opinions and collaborate to come up with solutions to their university's problems. The event had 100% attendance, and the UIF team were happily surprised with the number of problems identified and the quality of solutions proposed. Macy and her team created a movement at her school that elevated UIF on her campus amongst students and faculty. &nbsp;The students who attended were given shirts with a popular joke on it that only William Jewell College students and faculty would understand, which spread awareness about the event and created an outpour of interest in UIF. Seven of the original twenty people who were invited and given a voice at Macy's event ended up being so passionate about making a change they joined UIF in the following semester! This is just one of many examples of UIF cohorts adapting and creating unique events to make a change.</span></span>
