textasdfasfdsdafAt the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, we have is known as the “Innovation Engine” this is the sum of the widespread opportunities for students to get involved in academic research, pursue business ideas, participate in entrepreneurial courses, enter business competitions, or simply get involved with an innovative student organization. When looking at our landscape canvas there are a great deal of opportunities that exist for students. However, in the past weeks to months, we have been able to really take a pulse of the campus and examine if the students are really being engaged. This seems to be the case for few, but far more students do not know about the resources available to them and far more students do not execute their ideas. There is a sense of close mindedness that needs to be addresses. Students need to be excited and given a chance to truly let their creative juices and passions pour into an idea free of judgement...where they can take on the risks and pursue new opportunities. We need to ignite a new fresher more open exciting and exhilarating innovation engine. One that inspired students and makes them believe that they too can change the world. For these reasons the following six strategies are designed to maximize the hidden potential that lies within the student body and the faculty and administrators that teach students each and everyday.
