Typical buzzwords will cause most students to tune out, so this event is an easy way to connect without requiring follow-up. Its purpose is to encourage students to express share what they are passionate about , and facilitate conversation about innovation.''</span></span> == == <span id="docs-internal-guid-8a0f24c9-6824-10c6-4d4d-8f729836a8ed"><span style="font-size: 17pt; background-color: transparent; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Identify the theme and goals clearly.</span></span> == == <ol style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><li></li></ol> <span id="docs-internal-guid-8a0f24c9-6824-10c6-4d4d-8f729836a8ed"><span style="font-size: 9pt; font-family: Arial; background-color: transparent; font-style: italic; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">To run any successful event, short and long term goals should be identified.</span></span><ul style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><li><span id="docs-internal-guid-8a0f24c9-6824-10c6-4d4d-8f729836a8ed"><span style="font-size: 9pt; background-color: transparent; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Take the first step of identifying what our school community is passionate about.</span></span></li><li><span id="docs-internal-guid-8a0f24c9-6824-10c6-4d4d-8f729836a8ed"><span style="font-size: 9pt; background-color: transparent; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Raise awareness of UIF on campus</span></span></li><li><span id="docs-internal-guid-8a0f24c9-6824-10c6-4d4d-8f729836a8ed"><span style="font-size: 9pt; background-color: transparent; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Connect interested students to further resources Involve like-minded groups and network</span></span></li></ul> == == <span id="docs-internal-guid-8a0f24c9-6824-10c6-4d4d-8f729836a8ed"><span style="font-size: 17pt; font-family: Arial; background-color: transparent; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">2.
