Innovation and Entrepreneurship is not well known as something that Loyola supports. Innovation and Entrepreneurship has increasingly become more important on campus over the past three years, resulting in a new minor and maker spaces around campus. However, the majority of our students do not know that this exists or that they have the option of going along this route. They have never heard of the University Innovations Fellows or these resources in general. Our cohort decided that we should expand upon the resources that are already here as well as making these resources more well known.
'''Strategy #1: Allowing for Monthly Meetings with Stakeholders Once a Month, Accessible for All Students'''
*The hosting of meetings once a month with prominent faculty members to make them accessible to all students.
*The formation of committees of faculty members interested in innovating specific facets on campus: sustainability, technology, etc.
'''Strategy #2: Expand our innovation minor to an Innovation and Entrepreneurship major'''
*Offering classes on design thinking and brainstorming and problem solving
*Offering classes on owning personal business and innovating policies/programs that are already in place
*Offering classes on how to make changes on campus or in the workplace
*This major could be part of the Sellinger School of Business
'''Strategy #3: Housing Students Based on Interest'''
*Create a community based around certain interests that allows students to be creative and collaborative
*Reorganize the housing system on campus to live with others that hold similar interests but come from different majors
*Upgrade common spaces in the dorms to account for different interests such as innovation, entrepreneurship, sustainability, etc.
