<span style="font-size:larger;"><u>Tactic #4:</u> Campus Room Availability Texting Service </span>
<div><br/></div><div>The idea of a texting service actually came about amidst a discussion with several of my housemates. I initiated the topic of how students do not know even half of the spaces available to them, and together my housemates and I attempted to figure out a solution to this problem that would be the absolute fastest, easiest, and simplest. </div><div><br/></div><div>The solution we chose to prototype for this problem was a campus-wide texting service. When in use, this service allows students to see what rooms are available at a moment’s notice, without having to download an app or go through any extra time-consuming research. This solves two problems, the first being that students will have an easier time finding available study environments, especially during midterm/finals weeks. The second and most important to the initiative, students will be given a better idea of what kinds of spaces are available, and what they have access to in these spaces. This will give students a better idea of the resources they have at their disposal on an everyday basis, and will give them the information they need to innovate and be creative within these spaces. </div><div><br/></div><div>- Samantha Kruzshak - </div>

<span id="docs-internal-guid-f4a5acbd-6cef-0315-7468-062d6526d387" style="font-family: Arial; white-space: pre;"><span style="font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Every January, Union students come back from their winter breaks for a school-wide pitch competition with real investors in the crowd judging. The winner(s) (teams permitted) is allowed to connect with investors if they really want to go through with their ideas and is awarded a prestigious “Winner of UPitch 20xx” each year and the runner up could gain something similar. This promotes our school as an entrepreneurial hub and gives students a chance to show what they got. The winner could also win cash prize. We w</span></span><span style="font-sizefamily: Arial; white-space:largerpre-wrap;">orked with student body to figure out what ways students could participate to produce a unique product and how they would display their work, this is what we came up with.</span>
