== Strategy #1 Develop a unified voice for the Innovation and Entrepreneurship (I&E) movement ==
Currently, IUPUI has a variety of maker-spaces located within schools and departments. The current goal (as of Spring 2018) of the students is to include these spaces in our efforts to unify the I & E landscape across campus.

<span id="docs-internal-guid-70f1966b-7fff-851b-0e92-61367946156d"><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;">Students at IUPUI have skewed ideas on what innovation and entrepreneurship entail as a whole. Holding monthly workshops to help explain innovation and design thinking would bridge the gap between schools while also educating other students about innovation, entrepreneurship, and design thinking. These workshops would be held in the newly established IDEA Garden, a space for innovation and design thinking, which aligns with the previous cohort’s goal of bringing awareness to innovation spaces at IUPUI.</span></span>

With the goals of creating a culture of innovation on campus and bridging the gap between schools, we have helped plan an IDEA Sprint event with a previous cohort. This prototype will launch in November full force and full scale.</span></span>

These “case studies” can pave the way for aspiring students to gain connections with their innovative side.</span></span>

<span id="docs-internal-guid-70f1966b-7fff-851b-0e92-61367946156d"><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;">This issue applies to almost any major on campus where students have to wait a lot to get hold of their academic advisors to determine their ideal degree map. Also because of the limited appointment time, students don’t get to know a lot of options or career paths and just have to stick what their advisor suggests.</span></span>
<span id="docs-internal-guid-70f1966b-7fff-851b-0e92-61367946156d"><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;">One way to solve this issue is having peers of higher class standings (eg: Juniors or Seniors), act as academic advisors for students in their initial college years.</span></span>

It also reduces wait time and students can get their classes scheduled on time.</span></span>
