Although Penn State has done a great job in building up these opportunities, there are still some ways we believe we can improve. We would like to provide more inspiration for students to become entrepreneurs, provide a greater culture of entreprenuership, and increase the visibility of suitable entry points in to the community. We will carry out these goals by increasing VC presence, providing entry information to freshmen, and elevating successful entreprenuerial alumni.

We want to include this resource in the NSO materials that accepted students receive when they first arrive on campus. The checklist will be a simple flyer with little tasks that students can accomplish to "get their feet wet" in the ecosystem.<br/></div><div style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br/></div>== Tactic #2: Spend A Summer Day ==<div style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br/></Entrepreneurial Section div><div style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Description: The university has a "Spend A Summer Day" program that allows prospective students to explore academic disciplines or colleges that they may be interested in at Penn State's Career Fair ==.

Additionally, students voluntarily sign up for these session, which means we would be getting in front of the interested demographic.</div><div><br/></div>
