== <span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">Strategy #1: Enhancing the engagement of off campus resources for students / Breaking the students comfort zone / Lack of involvement with the Silicon Valley community</span> ==
<span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span id="docs-internal-guid-e0c6c1a9-7fff-1ad7-d9c0-e60a605224ac" style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><span style="font-size: 11pt; background-color: transparent; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">We want to engage the students in more off campus opportunities so students can experience the true entrepreneurship culture of Silicon Valley. Tapping into the companies and organizations around campus will not only build Menlo’s professional reputation but also create a larger sense of community for students and Menlo Park/Atherton residents. Besides trying to engage the students in more off campus activities, we also want to enable the chance for students to experience more of Silicon Valley’s resources right here on campus. Menlo College’s current trend to a more entrepreneurial mindset can be reflected by giving room for students and alumni to share their entrepreneurial success stories. By offering both opportunities students will have their pick of community engagement, whether that be directly on campus or off.</span></span></span>
== Strategy #2: Creating a more real-life hands-on experience for students focused on Finance and Entrepreneurship ==
<span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span id="docs-internal-guid-36af8d9a-7fff-111e-a6e4-3609454288de" style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><span style="font-size: 11pt; background-color: transparent; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Hands-on experiences are highly valued by employers all around the world. Menlo College has the opportunity to offer a lot more opportunities as such by creating a Bloomberg trading center, where students learn to know the software and the actual day to day use. A potential student-led investment fund and can use this hands-on experience in the future for employment or their own individual venture, after the trading lab has come to fruition. Menlo College will benefit from more specialized classrooms and the increased intimate learning environments.</span></span></span>

<span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span id="docs-internal-guid-3dced13f-7fff-9d0d-6924-c8767166cdd4" style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><span style="font-size: 11pt; background-color: transparent; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">We want to harness all of the momentum from students concerned about social issues and integrate those discussions into the general ed classrooms. If Menlo College wants their graduates to create sustainable businesses for the future, it’s necessary for faculty to add socially relevant issues into Menlo’s curriculum for a full circle connection in hopes of producing more diverse, socially conscious, and critical thinking entrepreneurs.</span></span></span>
== Strategy #4: Creating a more technological literate community on campus ==
<span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; white-space: pre-wrap; background-color: transparent; caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Since we’re a business school in the heart of Silicon Valley it’s silly that we don’t offer any 21st century Literacy in Tech courses. There’s so many organizations around campus that are consistently looking for more college students to work or intern and get their feet as an entrance into the industry. Menlo will not be doing it’s job if students are not technically prepared for opportunities that require a bit more literacy than the average job in human resources-- we’ll all benefit from the extra edge!!!</span></span>

<br/><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span id="docs-internal-guid-39aa0a41-5458-3973-461d-2a2a4daeb337"><span style="font-size: 12pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Menlo College is currently lacking of connections with the community in our area. Creating a new space entirely dedicated to the community involvement would be helpful to increase our impact on the society. The space can contribute in a wide variety of activities dedicate to our community including tutoring for children in the community, and tax assistance through the Menlo Accounting Club. It would be beneficial both for Menlo and for the community. It would create awareness of Menlo College, SERV hours opportunities for the students, networking opportunities and hands on experience for all the students who will be involved. On the other hand, the community would receive an affordable tutoring and tax service and it would motivate children to continue their studies at higher level institutions.</span></span></span>
