By introducing the First University Class, we will be able to unite students across campus and share with them the rich history of OU, let them hear from some of our most notable alumni, and share with them the resources on campus that can turn their I&E dreams into (works in progress or) reality. By working to break down the subject major silos, we expect to have a more fruitful I&E environment at OU as collaboration will surely lead to great ideas.</span></span></span></span>

A resource that enables students to talk anything entrepreneurial with another student would encourage and inform students to pursue innovation and entrepreneurship. As more and more walk up hours are held, students will become more familiar with this programs purpose which will result in more participation. Advertising through the Center for Entrepreneurship and other media outlets will drive the participation up higher and the peer mentoring service will grow and evolve. Since this program is focused on collaboration and diversity students who use the service will be encouraged to get involved and take a peer role. In a few years this program will be able to connect students to student peers who love ideating and collaborating.

The first session of this program involved one participant, but yielded great feedback. The participant came to the table and inquired about entrepreneurship in general. After sitting down and encourage to ideate the participant came up with her first business idea, transporting college students around using a bicycle and a trolley. Through collaboration, the participant and the peer worked through the business model canvas and their time together resulted in a new found interest for entrepreneurship and a filled out canvas.
