Changes

There is a lack of engagement in the community, both inside and outside of I&E. It is difficult to ignite change on campus and connect with faculty and staff outside of the classroom, aside from various clubs. Many clubs are focused to specific majors or programs, and it would be benefital to all of campus to add clubs that focus on the broad topic of creating change and business, socially and professionally.

== Strategy #2: Programs <br/> ==

== Strategy #3: Extracurriculars <br/> ==

Outside of the classroom setting, there is little to no way for students to further their I&E understanding. As mentioned in Strategy #1, clubs focused towards I&E would be relevant to nearly all majors and minors, and would allow for a more entertaining platform for students to expand their horizon.

Develop stronger communication about I&E

<span style="font-size: 12px;">EMpwr (Entrepreneurial Mindset Power) is a new recognized student organization that promotes I&E and involves all majors. The five pillars of EMpwr are:&nbsp;<br/span><br/span>#Leadership: Identify and pursue opportunities to develop the mindset, skillset, and world view related to being entrepreneurial.&nbsp; <br/>#Service: Address the local needs and apply the mindset to serve the community.&nbsp; <br/>#Outreach: Influence the future leaders, inspire innovators, and participate in enterprise.&nbsp; <br/>#Mentorship: Create meaningful peer to peer and professional relationships critical for networking and development of the individual mindset.&nbsp; #Competition: Innovate ideas and create novel solutions to real-world problems… Front-end of design with emphasis on the mindset.

Innovation & Entrepreneurship Newsletter Currently, there is no newsletter dedicated to I&E related news. There should be a newsletter, by print, email, or both, that places focus on the developing the entrepreneurial mindset and reporting recent innovations. For example, most individuals are aware about the popular product, the Sperry Boat Shoe. However, the majority are unaware of its origins. Inventor and sailor Paul Sperry slipped on a boat and fell overboard. The traumatic experience inspired him to develop a non-slip shoe. He observed his cocker spaniel's superior traction capabilties as it ran down an icy hill without slipping thanks to the grooves within its paws. The patented technology has evolved into a multi-billion dollar product and navy item still used today. Similar stories should be shared to inspire future innovators and to promote thinking above and beyond.&nbsp; Entrepreneurship Hour The University of New Haven has its own radio station that broadcasts various musics and shows. Often, it encourages colleges and clubs to advertise events or facilitate hour-long discussions. There should be an hour dedicated to a conversation that promotes I&E and makes students and faculty aware of I&E events on campus. A possible candidate to host the show could be the newly initiated club EMpwr (Entrepreneurial Mindset Power).

== Strategy #3: Promotion <br/> ==

Discussion Dinners&nbsp; &nbsp;<br/>The E²-LLC has piloted a series of discussion dinners that have proven successful in the past year and a half. Starting at 6:30 PM, students of all majors (mostly engineering) gather for a meal, socialize, and then participate in an interactive discussion centered around innovation and entrepreneurship. Focus is placed on curiosity, creating value, and making connections. EMpwr has been cosponsoring discussion dinners. There are hopes to expand the discussion dinners to include more participants and encourage more majors to attend.&nbsp; 24 Hour Imagination Quest The 24 Hour IQ is inspired by Villanova University and will be held for the second time this upcoming spring. In the span of 24 (non-consecutive!) hours, randomized groups of students must get inspired, find opportunities, and create a business proposition. The weekend-long competition yields cash prizes to the top three winners and provides excellent first-hand innovation and entrepreneurship experiences. K-SIDE The KEEN Summer Interdisciplinary Design Experience (K-SIDE) will be a week and a half long intensive program offered during May at the University of New Haven. Inspired by Bucknell University, interdisciplinary teams work for no credit or pay to imagine, prototype and pitch a device that will contribute to the solution of a social problem. More details will come as the event nears.

Description: Several students want to get involved in big projects but there aren’t many going on, on campus. The University has the ASME Super Mileage Vehicle, and the ASCE Concrete canoe. Both of these projects are senior design projects and have very limited creative freedom. There should be more projects that undergraduates can participate in and have more freedom. Milestones<br/>·Discuss with faculty about possible funding sources<br/>·Get in touch with sources that were given by faculty and on landscape canvas<br/>·Find a Faculty member who can be in charge and help spread the word.<br/>·Find on campus advertising sources and use them to spread the word.<br/>·Talk to people around campus and see if they are interested.<br/>·Meet with students and faculty to discuss if it will be a club or program<br/>·Faculty and students can pitch/come up with ideas &nbsp;and discuss the marketability<br/>·Discuss Possible project ideas for now and future.

== Strategy #2Description: Increase Awareness of Innovation Students should be more informed about innovation and entrepreneurship on campus because it is something that anyone can get involved in. Being innovative and having an entrepreneurial mindset are both good traits for several majors to have, and not only business and engineering.<br/><br/> ==Tactic #1: 3-day Startup<br/>Description: This is a three day program similar to Startup weekend. Students pitch ideas and come up with a marketable business model and a company in an intensive 3 day event. [http://3daystartup.org/about/ http://3daystartup.org/about/]
