The problem with the current setup with the Holmes Center is that due to its location it is mostly only visible to and utilized by Calrson students. Students in other colleges don't have easy access to the resources available through the Holmes Center. One possible solution to this problem is to disassociate the Holmes Center form Carlson and make it university-wide. Another approach would be to open up another branch or two of the Holmes Center on the other campuses of the university. Our priority we have as University Innovation Fellows is to find some way to increase the visibility and accessibility of the resources available at the Holmes Center to all students of the university.

Currently, the University offers a wide variety of seminars to Freshman with the intention of giving a small taste into different fields. These seminars are quite unique and are very popular among incoming students. However, these opportunities are not offered as students progress in their college education. As University Innovation Fellows, we believe it is very important to continue being exposed to different and interesting fields and ideas.
Looking through current seminars offered, there are very few that revolve around Innovation and Entrepreneurship. The 2017 UIF team hopes to further expore courses under the I&E realm and create a curriculum that can be open to all years. The main themes that courses will fall under is: Collaboration, Ideation, Implementatino, and Value Creation. These themes will be covered in a variety of exciting and engaging manners, but at a high level will cover topics as shown below:
*Collaboration
**Team Based Innovation
**Networking Tools
**Utilizing Campus and Community Resources
*Ideation
**Individual Based Innovation
**User Research Tools and Methods
**Blue Sky Ideation Methods
*Implementation
**Creating Sustainable Business Models
**Storyboarding and Product Pitching
**Prototyping Tools and Methods
**UX/UI
*Value Creation
**Human Centered Design
**Start-up Accelerator Program
