In the Classroom
Entrepreneurship majors and certificates are a fantastic step in the right direction for increasing student access to I&E, but we can't stop there! Far too [[File:WalterHall.jpg|thumb|WalterHall.jpg]]many students are under the impression that they need to be a business or engineering major in order to benefit from basic entrepreneurship knowledge. Long story short, those students are as good as excluded regardless of the decidedly inclusive pamphlets and course descriptions that are sent out. 
Because of this, our first strategy for augmenting Ohio University's entrepreneurial impact is getting basic entrepreneurship coursework into every introductory and career orientation class. English major or pre-med, basic entrepreneurial knowledge will help to set students up for success after graduation by instilling in them the fact that entrepreneurship is an option, and one they have an understanding of, regardless of wether they pursue their own company,
Residential Aspect
There are many universities that have living/learning residential options available to their students that wish to commit themselves to an idea or project for the semester, year, or longer. Ohio University could benefit from having this sort of immersive entrepreneurship experience where everyone in a dorm was excited to brainstorm and innovate in hopes of creating a better tomorrow.[[File:NewSouth.jpg|thumb|NewSouth.jpg]]

Online Resources
The online resources available through the University Innovation Fellows Program have been invaluable in developing a better understanding of Ohio [[File:MakerSpace.jpeg|thumb|MakerSpace.jpeg]]University's entrepreneurial ecosystem; our wish is to give that same benefit to students on campus by having some solely online entrepreneurship and innovation resources. For those students who have great ideas but aren't yet ready to "commit to entrepreneurship" (because as we know, it ''does'' change your life), these resources will be a way for them to explore and get more information, without "alerting the media." Additionally, many of the online resources will be relevant for anyone with a new idea -- a club, event, travel -- in order to figure out what the most important tasks are for them to complete (design thinking in action)!
