= Overview =
As the Innovation and Entrepreneurship (I&E) culture at UWM continues to build and develop a sense of community becomes even more important. As more events are created, and others continued, there will be a large push for more students from diverse branches of academia to participate. UWM has many organizations and programs, but they hardly ever interact outside of their majors. If UWM hopes to grow further, bridges will need to be built between majors. Future events will work to bring in more branches of academia in a way that encourages students to network and work with people outside of their branch of academia.
= UIF Cohort 2021  =
 
In 2021, the UI Cohort identified three key terms to outline their strategic priorities that work to support the continued innovation of the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee: student connections, transitions to the university (e.g., starting a new program, etc.), and entrepreneurship development. From this starting point, the team focused on four strategic priorities to develop further throughout the year.
 
== '''<span style="background-color:#ffffff">Strategic Priority: Design Thinking Living Learning Dorm</span>''' ==
 
In order to support the connection of students to maximize innovative thinking while simultaneously attempting to close a gap the UI cohort identified in current Living Learning Dormitory opportunities on campus, one tactic currently in pursuit is the creation of a "Design Thinking: Living Learning Dorm". Led by Rudi, the UI cohort are actively prototyping the effectiveness of their design ideas in bringing students of all programs (i.e., business, engineering, art history, etc.) together in a dormitory setting to form a creative space that supports design thinking opportunities. Students that apply and are selected for this new venture will be surrounded by individuals of various backgrounds and expertise, yet find similarity in their common drive to create and innovate. In combining students of all backgrounds under one roof, students will contribute to the well-rounded creation of ideas to push the university forward, all the while mastering the practice of design thinking and applying such skills to both professional and personal growth.

Nina looks to guide and encourage educational paths from high school, undergraduate, graduate and beyond. The key to unlocking diverse potential lies in identifying young talent and providing the opportunities and connections necessary for them to reach their goals. Each step along the way has milestones that are common between each person's unique journey.

This is done through an online, forum-led platform in which new topics are introduced and visitors/peers are able to contribute however they wish. This helps shed light on innovation and helps build a network of those who are able to help but otherwise would not have been aware of the proposed topic, helping to strengthen student connections through cross-disciplinary collaboration.

'''<span style="font-size: large"><span style="font-size: small">In the fall of 2015, the UI Fellows and candidates conducted a campaign to engage new students and drive awareness about innovation and entrepreneurship. We asked the question "In 2025, what product will UWM students use everyday." We invited people to sumbit their ideas and also participate in workshops to brainstorm innovative new products. The purpose of teh campaign was to engage people who had never before considered I&E at UWM as a part of their college career. By allowing people to submit ideas in a very low risk environment, more people we're interested in what we as a cohort had to offer.&nbsp;</span></span>'''
The pilot program of the campaign was a success with great room to expand moving forward. In the future the campaign will be a workshop series teaching students ranging anywhere from first year to graduate across diciplines about design thinking and business model canvasing. This way, we will be able to fuel awareness and drive the pipeline of innovation and entrepreneurship at UWM.

The prototype consisted of diverse questions that brought students into deep self thought, guiding them to reflect and ask themselves questions to help them discover the routes of their passions. After multiple interviews with the questions, first being done separately then followed up with discussion, the UIF cohort found a trend in the responses with certain thought processes and emotions. With each interview and discussion, they altered the questions to best help the student reflect and get the best, unbiased responses. These responses and discussions helped them come up with some answers to why things may be as they currently are, and opened up thought to what can be solutions. At the end of each interview, we discussed possible solutions on what would have to be true to progress forward.</span></span><br/><span id="docs-internal-guid-5b3ba9c6-7fff-25f2-8d0a-e9d891776f1d" style="font-family: -webkit-standard; caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; background-color: transparent; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Frequent and detailed discussion of students’ passions and the resources outside of the classroom available to allow students to actually pursue their mission, insighting opportunity, may be very helpful first steps for students.

== Innovating the Freshmen Orientation ==
 
<font color="#000000">Every school wants to get freshmen excited about coming to campus and beginning a new journey in life, but UWM's freshmen orientation feels like it's trying to do the opposite. The orientation gets the job done in terms of checking all of the typical orientation boxes, however, it lacks being the first step in creating lasting campus connections.&nbsp;</font>
 
<font color="#000000">To fix this, a few objetives have been identified to create a better experience for incoming students.&nbsp;</font>
 
<span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">First, changing the time frame from early in the summer to a couple days right before school starts will give students more time to get acclimated with the campus.&nbsp;</span>
 
Second, adding in more events where new students get to interact with clubs and other resources on campus will give them the opportunity to become part of a group and feel more comfortable as they adjust to a new place.&nbsp;
 
Third, having optional trips around the greater Milwaukee area or staying on campus to do other events such as design thinking workshops would give incoming students the opportunity for discovery on campus and in the surrounding community.&nbsp;
 
As a forward-thinking campus there are always room for improvement, and gving students a better first year experience is one way UWM can connect students to the campus and city.&nbsp;
 
== Diversity and Inclusion in Entrepreneurship: Zero Barriers ==
 
To increase diversity and inclusion at UWM by having different entrepreneurial presenters from different backgrounds come and present to cater to the needs of the community would be the strategic priority of this event.
 
It would allow those without a voice to be heard or anyone that may have been marginalized in the past. The faculty, staff, and students here at UWM to include directors, vice-chancellors, presidents, and numerous leaders to provide a network to use their connections to ensure a successful event of diversity and inclusion in entrepreneurship. Branding would be used for awareness and to use the "1 Million Cups" reputation to draw in the general public.
 
We would cater to the needs of the individuals and provide an open-forum, laid-back environment that is laissez-faire in nature where it is okay to fail and not know all of the answers. Our customer archetype would be those who are in the minority and from varying creeds, backgrounds, ethnicities, socio-economic statuses, and more.
 
We hope that this event can be done in a quarterly fashion to increase its momentum and keep on going by celebrating diversity and inclusion on different months, like Black History Month, National Hispanic Heritage Month, and National Coming Out Month.
