Currently== Career Videos for Freshmen at Mines; CSM 101 Lesson ==Many students face trouble on choosing a major - not just because they are scared of taking certain classes, we are acquiring feedback on but because they realize for the major that they have chosen, what they do in the industry is not what they wish to do. To help with this initial idea , there can be outreach made by Mines to Mines Alumni to see if it record a videos of their day/conduct an interview of their life in the industry (we would collect videos from all majors offered at Mines). These videos will be feasibleset as Canvas modules for the CSM 101 classes as a Lesson Plan, and more importantly if it would benefit for students to watch a few videos for majors that they themselves are interested in. The ultimate goal is to help offer insight for studentsto understand what life is like in the industry, with a guidance of showing what each major does in the industry. After thhis periodThis is planned to not cost the school anything, we plan but to unite the departments, Alumni, and students in helping the future in knowing the direction in which they wish to take pursue in life. This is in the idea hopes that this topic will alleviate the stress of students from choosing a specific major that they would hope to stakeholders on campusstrive for. A prototype was created to show an example of what these videos can look like (see link below).https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R0f29jGsunU

== Fall 2021 ==
As the sole member of the Fall 2021 Cohort, Adam Schwartz is looking to expand academic majors and opportunities to further match the needs of students and the future trajectory of the economy, particularly in the energy sector. Opportunities to expand Majors, Minors, Areas of Special Interest, industry connections, and societies of engineers in unrepresented industries are all under thorough review. The project Adam is most interested in is getting a Renewable Energy Area of Special Interest in the immediate future, with key tactics of collaborating with academic departments, enthusiastic faculty, and industry experts. Raising awareness and gauging need of this project are critical components.

=== TedX-Style Platform ===
There is currently not a forum on the campus of CSM where students can go to hear productive discussions on topics that are generally off-the-table for STEM students. A platform of this sort would serve to broaden the horizons of Mines students and introduce them to new ideas and challenge them to think critically about the large issues that face society and the responsibility that Mines students have as future technical professionals of these societies. Speakers on this platform would be professors, public intellectuals, and selected students. If the turnout is great enough, debates could even be held on this platform with the assistance of a well-equipped moderator. The goal of establishing a platform like this would be to help change the way that Mines students think about the broader contexts of society, the very foundation for Innovation and Entrepreneurship. We would love to see a club created with a faculty champion to help make this group a little less transient as well as aggregate a list of potential topics and speakers to populate events on campus through polling with the Mines student body.

There will be a trial run for a MakerSpace to be implemented on campus. If this space is a success, the Mines UIF leadership circle will analyze feedback around the space and try to implement a permanent building for design thinking, innovation, and entrepreneurship with a floor dedicated to being a functional MakerSpace.
=== Creative Space ===
Although Mines has a lot of workshop and maker spaces, there is not really anywhere for our more artsy students to go. I think it would be beneficial to have an area with various art supplies to allow students a creative outlet. After surveying students, I found that many would like to see instruments, a vast range of art supplies (different paper, cardboard, paints, etc), and even possibly a rehearsal space and a sound-proof room.
== Establish regular Design, Innovation, Creativity and Entrepreneurship (DICE) events ==
One idea we are currently pursuing is the creation of a "No Work Zone." This would be a place for students on campus to take a break and relax. Mines is a highly esteemed engineering school which promotes intense focus on academics. Many study and design areas are located around campus. We don't any of these spaces to be taken away, but we do want a new space to be implemented.
Our goal for this space is to make mental health a bigger priority on campus. Students commonly express their levels of stress, but there are not many resources on campus to help combat the high -pressure work environment. Currently, we are acquiring feedback on this initial idea to see if it would be feasible, and more importantly, if it would benefit students. After this period, we plan to take the idea to stakeholders on campus. == Buddy System == Incoming freshmen and transfer students can opt-in to the “buddy system” - possibly called Mines Mates. They would be paired with a current Mines student who could help the new student with anything and everything. Whether they need help finding a class, desire a study buddy, or just want someone to talk to. The buddy would be the new students' go-to person. Unlike peer mentors, the buddy would only have one student, allowing for more personal interactions.
