<span style="font-family: Arial; background-color: transparent; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">One of the most confusing and challenging aspects of adjusting to college life is learning how to access resources. During our first interactions with campus life, students are often given many business cards, phone numbers and pamphlets about campus resources that are quickly lost or forgotten about. From health services to student organizations, there are information networks across campus that are available to students but not interconnected. This can make it difficult for students to find out what is going on across campus and how to access resources available to them. This strategic priority is focused on integrating those information networks for student access. This includes fostering cooperation between academic and administrative units that disseminate information, creating new networks of information and new distribution and reviving old networks that are underutilized. This will be accomplished through revitalizing and reopening the television broadcasting studio on campus and making it available for student use. The studio will serve as the new hub for information dissemination across campus, from academics to administration to student life; there will be one source to fuel and connect many networks.

==== Spreading Knowledge of I&E and Available Resources Through Collaboration ====

While our campus offers diverse opportunities and resources in the field of innovation, many students are unaware of the possibilities. In addition, several opportunities are reserved for students from specific departments. My idea is to introduce the various aspects of I&E by building a club of students from different majors and backgrounds who will learn about I&E through a hands-on approach. The re-establishment of iCARE, a social entrepreneurship club, will make this introduction possible. The goals of iCARE are to introduce and explain the concepts of innovation and entrepreneurship, inspire students to take an active role in the well-being of their community, and integrate the ideas and skills of students across campus. iCARE will work to complete these goals in several different ways. We will invite speakers who have mixed innovation with social entrepreneurship to build interest in I&E. The first project of iCARE will be a collaboration with a local Senior Center. Students will learn about the design process throughout this project. They will communicate with the older adults at the center to determine any difficulties they may face on a day-to-day basis. The older adults and students will work together to brainstorm possible solutions and develop a prototype. This will serve as an introduction to the I&E resources (such as the iMakerSpace) available on campus. By collaborating with the outside community we hope to introduce and promote I&E on a larger scale.

== '''RUSH UIF BEGINNING OF THE YEAR EVENT SERIES[[File:RushUIFlogo Purple.png|frame|RushUIFlogo Purple.png]]''' ==

RUSH UIF is a four part event series which seeks to expose students to Innovation & Entrepreneurship in fun and exciting ways and increase student awareness of the underlying prevalence of Innovation & Entrepreneurship in our culture today. Each event is very different from the last, targeting a different reason or avenue for I&E involvement. This year's series took place August 29th, 2016 - September 1st, 2016.
