Currently, the website does not have nearly all events that are happening around campus. Most of these event’s information is sent to students through their emails which get overlooked more often than not. When the Center for Entrepreneurship and Innovation Technology sends an email about upcoming events, for example; students often never see it because they are overwhelmed with so many other events. If this calendar was updated then all events could be filtered through to find exactly what students wanted to see and would also eliminate the need for student organizations to send so many emails. </span></span>

Students receive crash course By working with the Student Government Association on campus who organizes the design thinking processstudent organizations on campus, they find out where we could work on making sure that the Thingery is located, emails being sent are more pertinent to students and that emails are given only sent for important notifications. This would eliminate a lot of the opportunity to sign up emails that are sent by organizations which aren’t applicable for workshops in the school year most students and don’t contain clear information.

<span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">Support creation and development of a “Collaborative Community” with space on campus for entrepreneurial students to work on startup ideas, collaborate with others working on their own startups, and have opportunity to develop network for after graduation.
