We have chosen learning communities because we can implement a well structured,helveticacreative,sans-serif;">majorand interactive IE workshop to a large majority of the freshman class during their critical first weeks in higher education. Along with the work shop,&nbsp;we plan on implementing an innovation challenge that incorporates substantial monetary value. This will hopefully encourage students to participate in an event that bolsters creative thinking and really gets students into an innovative and entrepreneurial mindset early in their college carrer.</span></span></span></span> <span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span id="docs-internal-guid-f06ca199-7fff-7037-50c6-f5ed1d77d538"><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">and Our second strategic initiative is an IE lecture series. We think that there first-year students can not see how IE is a lack of awareness relevant to them. We plan on bringing speakers from different disciplines to talk about what I&E looks like on campus innovation and what the resources are for I&E at OUentrepreneurship mean in their field. By introducing the First University Class, we will be able We also plan to unite students across campus and share with them the rich history of OU, let them hear bring speakers from some of our most notable alumni, Appalachia to showcase that IE and share with them the resources on campus that design thinking can turn their I&E dreams into (works in progress or) reality. By working to break down the subject major silos, we expect to have a more fruitful I&E environment at OU as collaboration will surely lead to great ideashappen anywhere.</span></span></span></span><div><br/></div>
