<span style="font-size:small;" When reflecting on our mobilization, parking is an issue when it comes to campus, as such, we were thinking of numerous ideas to help solve this problem. Approximately 85-90% of students are living off campus. To help diminish this problem, we could implement scooter stations around campus that would be able to be checked out, like a program that the city of Denver has. We chose scooters because of the ease with which it takes to use one, and because of the small amount of space, they take up, compared to a bike taking up an entire sidewalk. Along with these, there would be stations scattered throughout the whole campus, which would allow students, staff, and faculty to check out the scooter through our Shocker Cards (ID's). The scooters would be electric and charged in the stations, so they would be able to tell you which has the most battery life. Also, with the scooters, we would map out Wichita State's campus so that the entire campus would be on it, and a route would be able to generate the path that is fastest from station to station, similar to a GPS system. Overall, this intends to help studentss students for parking and mobility, and if they park far away, they can reach their classes quicker and get to heir their intended destination faster and with ease. == <span style="font-size:larger;">'''Strategy 15: Assisting First Year Students in Learning Wichita State's Campus'''</span> == === '''Tactic #1: ICT Tour'''<br/> ==='''Project Lead: Mikah Betterton''' <span style="font-size:small;"></span><span style="font-size:small;">ICT Tour</span><span style="font-size:small;">is for </span><span style="font-size:small;">first-year students who are not from Wichita and want to explore more of their college town. ICT Tour will take the students around Wichita's local restaurants and shops, who would then punch a hole in their card. Once, they fill up their card and take it to the Office of First Year Programs they will be awarded a gift. This will help drive first-year students to become more active in their community and help the local businesses get more customers at their stores.&nbsp;There will be a list of recommended local restaurants and shops that are part of the program based on vendors that are interested, and willing to participate. This is loosely based on Kansas State University's tour of Aggieville, and could even feature WSU's "ShockStops" which give students discounts at participating businesses.</span> == '''<span style="font-size:larger;"Strategy 16: How to Increase Interdisciplinary Connections Across Campus</span>'''<br/> == === '''<span style="font-size:medium;">Tactic #1: WUIFx Goes Greek!</span>'''<br/> === '''<span style="font-size:medium;"></span>''''''<span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-size:small;">Project Lead: RJ Clark</span></span>''' '''<span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-size:small;"></span></span>'''WUIFx Goes Greek draws its inspiration from WSU's very cohesive Greek community. This community is comprised of 13 different fraternities and sororities, each of which would contribute members to participate in this 48-hour design competition. The competitors would compete to solve a pre-determined problem, and then present their solution in the form of a 90-second video, an 8-minute presentation, as well as defend their position in front of a panel of judges. Throughout the competition, UIF and faculty/staff will provide materials, resources, information, and assistance as necessary. Overall, this would not only improve the interdisciplinary connections that WSU already has but also create connections across the different chapters of Greek life. This program would ideally start next fall, as the timing would be ideal to also incorporate Greek recruitment and events into the schedule, as well as serve as a "back to school" event to improve student participation on Wichita State's Campus.
