<span style="font-size:small;"><span id="docs-internal-guid-0590a73b-7fff-a7f7-0eff-cc20d0293092"><span style="font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Every first Friday of the month Wichita holds a city-wide art crawl event for thousands of Wichitans to engage with local art at unique locations around town. It is a grassroots event that promotes the arts and the community. As Wichita State has a renowned outdoor sculpture collection, a large art museum, and talented student artists and faculty, it does not make sense as to why WSU is not a part of this. At the Shocker Street Market held on our campus, students and faculty would be able to sell and show their art. Students will be able to apply to hold a booth at the market and gain experience in selling their products. There will also be local artists at the booths as well in order to increase community engagement. We would have student bands, food trucks, yard games, picnic areas and more. This event would bring not only the campus community together but would also bring the Wichita community to us.</span></span></span>

'''Project Lead: Matthew Colborn'''
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; white-space: pre-wrap;">Student pride and campus community is low in comparison to other universities of our caliber. In addition to this networking and finding new people to meet (which is becoming increasingly important to younger generations) is another challenge students are having. By creating a lawn party that is offered to students for free and non students for a ticketing price we can bring in celebrities to perform for our students and the community while offering additional value to our partner companies on campus by strategically placing the event in locations that would increase their foot traffic. By throwing this event it kicks off the semester and creates natural collisions for students and businesses. </span>

=== <span style="font-size:medium;">'''Tactic #2: Let's Go Full STEAM Ahead'''</span><br/> ===
'''Project Lead: Sierra Bonn''' [http://letsgofullsteamahead.com "Let's Go Full STEAM Ahead!" ] is an educational initiative to empower young women to see their potential within the fields of science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics. Of all the science, engineering, and tech workers in the United States, only 24% are women. To address this gender disparity, young women need to be encouraged to pursue their dreams. Starting with students at Colvin Elementary School, we have prototyped teaching methods to explore STEAM sith with 2nd and 3rd-grade girls. At Girl Scout camp, we prototyped activities for their new Science and Engineering Exploration Badges. In Augusta Public Schools (elementary, middle, and high school), we will be prototyping short STEAM workshops that can be taught in 30 minutes-1 hour, that tie into what the students and teachers are already doing with their classrooms.

WUIFx Goes Greek draws its inspiration from WSU's very cohesive Greek community. This community is comprised of 13 different fraternities and sororities, each of which would contribute members to participate in this 48-hour design competition. The competitors would compete to solve a pre-determined problem, and then present their solution in the form of a 90-second video, an 8-minute presentation, as well as defend their position in front of a panel of judges. Throughout the competition, UIF and faculty/staff will provide materials, resources, information, and assistance as necessary. Overall, this would not only improve the interdisciplinary connections that WSU already has but also create connections across the different chapters of Greek life. This program would ideally start next fall, as the timing would be ideal to also incorporate Greek recruitment and events into the schedule, as well as serve as a "back to school" event to improve student participation on Wichita State's Campus.

There have been complaints about the bus not going to walmart often enough or at a convenient time for everybody. If we had WSU students sign up to volunteer a couple hours to take international students places like Walmart or Walgreens or anywhere else they may need to go, it would not only allow them to obtain their essentials for living, but it could also help international students make a connection with other students on campus.</span> == '''<span style="font-size: larger;">Strategy 18: Innovation Living Learning Community- Creating Community for First-year students and gaining experiences in entrepreneurship and innovation in our community and campus</span>''' '''<span style="font-size: medium;">Tactic #1: Innovation LLC</span>''' '''<span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: small;">Project Lead: Savannah Redfern</span></span>''' <span style="background-color: transparent; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">An Innovation Living Learning Community would provide first-year students with opportunities to gain experience in </span><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">design-thinking and innovation.

This will be a hands-on class where students not only learn about the design-thinking process and the resources on campus, but also about issues in our community and campus. There will be guest speakers of changemakers in our community and our campus. Students will learn how to be changemakers in our community as well as what needs to be changed. </span></span> <span id="docs-internal-guid-ce81d5aa-7fff-3e1d-4128-99d326bff553"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">In the second semester, students will work in teams to develop and cultivate unique ideas and concepts. During this semester, they will develop these ideas into a successful event, product, club or program for Wichita State or the Wichita community. They will collaborate together and keep each other and the RA and professor updated on their progress. Finally, students will have the opportunity to showcase their efforts in a semester-ending competition with the other teams within Innovation LLC.</span></span> == '''<span style="font-size: larger;">Strategy 18: Early look into Innovation, outreach, and marketing of Innovation Resources</span>''' == === '''<span style="font-size:medium;">Tactic #1: WuShock Tank</span>''' === '''<span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-size:small;">Project Lead: Angelique Banh & Corbin Prichard</span></span>''' WuShock Tank is an annual Innovation competition aimed towards new students or those with budding interests in innovation and entrepreneurship. Being aimed at beginners helps students foster and grow their love for innovation without the pressure or stress of a conventional competition. As well, this would allow students studying majors not typically associated with innovation or entrepreneurship develop their skills and confidence early on in their school career. === '''<span style="font-size:medium;">Tactic #2: Innovate @ Wichita State!</span>''' === '''<span style="font-size:smallermedium;"><span style="font-size:small;">Project Lead: Alexander King</span></span>''' Innovate @ Wichita State! is a video series that serves as marketing for the existing innovation resources here on Wichita State's campus. Providing location, information, and an interview with a member of the resource would help spread the word and increase students' use of the existing resources. This is a weekly/biweekly series that employs video production majors or marketing majors to help develop their skills with a tangible marketing campaign to ensure the effective use of WSU's innovative resources at students' disposal. === '''<span style="font-size:medium;">Tactic #3: LAS Connected</span>''' === '''<span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-size:small;">Project Lead: Jadie Chauncey</span></span>''' LAS Connected is a once a month seminar to help connect Liberal Arts students on the Wichita State Campus and encourage innovation within their disciplines.
