The Innovation Club, also known as Xc.UDevelop course strategies.CREATE, is an interdisciplinary organization that intends to begin an initiative on campus that promotes creativity and design among students of Including all majors. The club plans to be launched in Fall 2014 possible ideas and several students that are committed to being on topics for the executive board have already started planning out the vision of this interest group. That vision is to truly bring about the imagination that all students embraced as children but has been lost through the journey of our young adulthood. There is great power in the potential of imagination and creativity that can change the world classes, and every college student should be a part take up surveys of that. The goal is to give what students an environment where they are free may want to think big learn. Collaborate with fellows from other universities for help with planning and outside of the classroom about societal/global problems they are passionate aboutstrategies.
From there students can make low prototypes and design ways to solve those problems d. Use Enactus donations and SGA donation for those who are committed to furthering their idea, they will have access to resources from Enactus in the Entrepreneurship Institute to pitch their ideas to investors. Local guest speakers will be invited monthly to talk to students about their own venture journeys and passions. Innovation challenges will also take place once a month with main objects as simple as a spoon or shoe and students will be given crafty materials to design prototypes to get them thinking outside of the box with a reward of a cash prize. The club can meet once a week and discuss problems and work in teams to brainstorm ways to solve them. This club will be an avenue to give the students resources such as internships, venture firm capital information, StartUp Weekend info, etcour first class.

<span style="font-size:large;">Freshman Seminar</span>h. Evaluation by student, faculty, and administration (Spring 2016).
Freshman Seminar (FRSM 1000/FRSM 1100) is a yearlong mandatory course that all incoming freshman must take to satisfy graduation requirementsi. The goals of the Freshman Year Experience are to empower freshmen with the skills Adjust any needed changes and support needed for college success continue (and Xavier successSpring 2016), enhance their professional development, and understand their role and mission as Xavier students. Every year, over 600 students fill the seats in these classrooms and this would be a perfect opportunity to introduce students to innovation and entrepreneurship. This course could give students the chance to start thinking about world problems and collaborating in teams to find solutions to those problems. My advisor plans to set up a meeting with the faculty that teach Freshman Seminar and discuss the goals of the NCIIA, along with the importance of promoting student creativity on our campuses. If all FRSM faculty members could donate at least 30% of each class time discussing these issues, Xavier is that much closer instilling innovation and entrepreneurship in the early curriculum for the college students. Team Leaders: Professor Mark Quin, Dr. Partha Bhattacharjee, Dr. Mandal, Chigozie Dike, etc.
2. A presentation and discussion between faculty members should occur where FRSM professors are informed about the mission of NCIIA and the positive consequences that will result from implementing innovation and entrepreneurship in their classrooms. (Fall 2014)Objectives:

[[File:MS.jpg|thumb]] <span style="font-size:large;">Create a Maker Space</span> An atmosphere conducive to innovation is important to maintain and not just begin an innovative and entrepreneurial ecosystem. The Entrepreneurship Institute has designed an incubator with computers, tables, and chairs for members of Enactus to meet and work on business plans or gain business experience. A similar space is needed for innovation on Xavier’s campus. A space that is set up with white boards, dry erase markers, crafty materials, and tables that student can use to design prototypes and models of their ideas. Having a permanent space allows students to convene on their own time and work on group or independent projects that they might not have otherwise been able to accomplish. An under-utilized classroom or storage area can be transformed into an innovative maker space with the funds gained from fundraising. Approval of this space must also be gained by students, faculty, and administration through petitions or SGA. This will be the long term goal of the innovation club, hopefully to be implemented by 2016. =
<span style="font-size:large;">Invite Guest Speakers </span>The information obtained from the OPEN 2015 conference revealed so many resources that could be brought back to Xavier’s campus. The employees from LinkedIn, Google, and Stanford University were excited to speak with the university innovation fellows and give feedback to improve innovation and entrepreneurship on their campuses. The New Orleans Bio Innovation Center is a local company that is committed to biomedical research and technology. Xavier University places a strong emphasis on health and science and getting people from this organization to speak to Xavier students would encourage creativity. There are local entrepreneurs that currently speak weekly hosted by the Entrepreneurship Institute in the Business Department. However, there are only a small percentage of students that attend. By opening the current gap to include local innovators as well as entrepreneurs, more students might be interested in the NCIIA’s goal and see that this movement is relevant to them as well.

The Student Government Association represents the student body in the university-policy making. They also are responsible for many campus activities that result in a large student turnout. Other organizations such as Xavier Activities Board, Biology Club, Chemistry Club, Public Policy Club, and Enactus are just a few popular organizations on campus that can work with X.U.CREATE to increase the visibility of this new organization to students. By doing fundraisers, community service events, or even sponsoring speakers or activities together, more advanced clubs can help spread awareness to the innovation club.
The executive board of the innovation club needs to create social media networks after a charter has been awarded to the organization. Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn accounts are very popular ways to convey the message of the group. This will increase the amount of students and professionals aware of the organization create a means of attracting more members who may not be on campus as much, and display the ideas/prototypes that members have created. Social media is changing how the world receives information and that is something that should be taken advantage of. The innovation club has a goal of promoting creativity and entrepreneurial mindsets among college students. This positive vision deserves to be shared via these sites and create an environment where students, innovators, and entrepreneurs can share ideas.
An atmosphere conducive to innovation is important to maintain and not just begin an innovative and entrepreneurial ecosystem. The Entrepreneurship Institute has designed an incubator with computers, tables, and chairs for members of Enactus to meet and work on business plans or gain business experience.
