Building the bank of new student information will require a significant time commitment, but not a monetary one.</span></span>

Rather than dropping it in a folder titled ‘New Student Information’ we will refer to it as the Saluki Survival Guide.</span></span>

From providing simple ways to discover RSO’s that match their interests, to how to get involved with undergraduate research, to how to file a maintenance report if their shower is leaking.</span></span>

All three of them said that they thought the idea was good, but only two of them said they would have taken the time to read through it. When we presented this idea to one of our stakeholders, she responded positively to the lack of cost involved.</span></span>

<span id="docs-internal-guid-e32f1f42-7fff-bae1-c35e-619671517011"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-weight: 700; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Process:</span><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">The innovation course would teach students for a few weeks about design thinking and the process of creating a project. For the rest of the semester, the students are tasked with creating their own project that interests them. For example, if the student studies biology, they could task themselves with creating a research project. If the student studies business, they could create a plan to start their company. If the student studies engineering, they could create their own engineering project. At the end of the semester, the students will be required to show a detailed plan for their project or an actual product.</span></span>

The honors students are required to take honors classes so by placing the innovation course as an honors course, there is a good chance that students will take it. After being tested as an honors course, we would like to open up the innovation course to the entire campus.</span></span>
<span id="docs-internal-guid-e32f1f42-7fff-bae1-c35e-619671517011"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-weight: 700; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Long-term Plan:</span><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">In the long run, the course could be utilized like Senior Design course but for targeted towards freshman. This would introduce freshman to design thinking as soon as they come to campus and teach students how to create their own projects. The course has the potential to mold SIU into a more innovative campus.</span></span>
