As the university becomes more siloed with the growth of its individual colleges, I&E projects continue to be held in the dark due to the lack of communication. The University Innovation Fellows have decided that it will be our continuous priority to own the state of the I&E landscape by creating board </span></span><ul style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;"><li><span id="docs-internal-guid-0ba5e4f8-7fff-cced-612c-5770acb77b3b"><span style="font-size: 11pt; background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Fellows Involved: Andrew Benisek, Lauren Saggar, Kai McKinney, Jen Schlegel </span></span></li></ul> === <span id="docs-internal-guid-0ba5e4f8-7fff-cced-612c-5770acb77b3b"><span style="font-size: 15pt; font-family: Arial; background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Milestone 1: Conduct Stakeholder Meeting - November, 2018</span></span> ===<ul style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;"><li><span id="docs-internal-guid-0ba5e4f8-7fff-cced-612c-5770acb77b3b"><span style="font-size: 11pt; background-color: transparent; font-weight: 700; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Description: </span><span style="font-size: 11pt; background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">During the month of November, our leadership circle shall facilitate a stakeholder meeting with key faculty and administrative personal.

Getting together the UIF faculty board will not only assist in with the longevity of the UIF program but will help us have the connections across the university required to push new initiatives. </span></span></li></ul> === <span id="docs-internal-guid-0ba5e4f8-7fff-cced-612c-5770acb77b3b"><span style="font-size: 15pt; font-family: Arial; background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Milestone 3: Hold 1st Faculty Board Working Session </span></span> ===<ul style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;"><li><span id="docs-internal-guid-0ba5e4f8-7fff-cced-612c-5770acb77b3b"><span style="font-size: 11pt; background-color: transparent; font-weight: 700; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Description:</span><span style="font-size: 11pt; background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">After the board has been set, the UIF program will attempt to host working sessions every semester to help align the groups priorities, create sub-working groups, and get a pulse of changes that have occurred to the campus landscape. </span></span></li></ul> === <span id="docs-internal-guid-0ba5e4f8-7fff-cced-612c-5770acb77b3b"><span style="font-size: 15pt; font-family: Arial; background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Milestone 4: Industry Invitations to the Board - April, 2020</span></span> ===<ul style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;"><li><span id="docs-internal-guid-0ba5e4f8-7fff-cced-612c-5770acb77b3b"><span style="font-size: 11pt; background-color: transparent; font-weight: 700; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Description:</span><span style="font-size: 11pt; background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">After multiple semesters in operation, the UIF I&E board would hope to add members of industry onto the board. Industry members will help guide the board in with perspective from outside the university and would ideally help to source resources outside of the reach of students and faculty. </span></span></li></ul> = <span id="docs-internal-guid-0ba5e4f8-7fff-cced-612c-5770acb77b3b"><span style="font-size: 21pt; font-family: Arial; background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">PRIORITY 2: RE-ESTABLISHMENT OF THE STUDENT INNOVATION & ENTREPRENEURSHIP COUNCIL </span></span> = <span id="docs-internal-guid-0ba5e4f8-7fff-cced-612c-5770acb77b3b"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Last year, the UIF team helped to create the Student Innovation and Entrepreneurship Council at The Ohio State University. The council was focused on bringing student leaders in the I&E space together from around campus to discuss what they are doing and encourage open collaboration between organizations. The general idea was that together, we could increase access to entrepreneurship and innovation at Ohio State. </span></span><ul style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;"><li><span id="docs-internal-guid-0ba5e4f8-7fff-cced-612c-5770acb77b3b"><span style="font-size: 11pt; background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Fellows Involved: Andrew Benisek, Lauren Saggar, Kai McKinney, Jen Schlegel </span></span></li></ul> === <span id="docs-internal-guid-0ba5e4f8-7fff-cced-612c-5770acb77b3b"><span style="font-size: 15pt; font-family: Arial; background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Milestone 1: Send invitations to be a member of SIEC - Dec 2019</span></span> ===<ul style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;"><li><span id="docs-internal-guid-0ba5e4f8-7fff-cced-612c-5770acb77b3b"><span style="font-size: 11pt; background-color: transparent; font-weight: 700; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Description: </span><span style="font-size: 11pt; background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">SIEC meetings have been discontinued for over a semester.

However, at a university of Ohio State’s size, it is very difficult to have a sustained impact as cohorts change and projects last outside of the scope of an academic year. As the UIF program, we will be working towards developing a sustainable model for UIF in order to ensure that the program has strategic and constant presence within the University. </span></span><ul style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;"><li><span id="docs-internal-guid-0ba5e4f8-7fff-cced-612c-5770acb77b3b"><span style="font-size: 11pt; background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Fellows Involved: Andrew Benisek, Lauren Saggar, Kai McKinney, Jen Schlegel, Astha Rastogi, George Varcarcel </span></span></li></ul> === <span id="docs-internal-guid-0ba5e4f8-7fff-cced-612c-5770acb77b3b"><span style="font-size: 15pt; font-family: Arial; background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Milestone 1: Addressing Key University Stakeholders - Nov 2019</span></span> ===<ul style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;"><li><span id="docs-internal-guid-0ba5e4f8-7fff-cced-612c-5770acb77b3b"><span style="font-size: 11pt; background-color: transparent; font-weight: 700; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Description: </span><span style="font-size: 11pt; background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">At the November Stakeholder meeting, the entire UIF program will not only be addressing current progress but setting up discussions to set up a permanent board for guidance over our program. </span></span></li></ul> === <span id="docs-internal-guid-0ba5e4f8-7fff-cced-612c-5770acb77b3b"><span style="font-size: 15pt; font-family: Arial; background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Milestone 2: Defining a permanent home - Feb 2020</span></span> ===<ul style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;"><li><span id="docs-internal-guid-0ba5e4f8-7fff-cced-612c-5770acb77b3b"><span style="font-size: 11pt; background-color: transparent; font-weight: 700; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Description: The UIF program at the Ohio State University has been housed within a specific college of study.
