Despite the many great resources Georgia Tech currently has, the innovation and entrepreneurial movement, which is currently overtaking the nation, has been stalled on our campus due to lack of organization.

Students are unsure of, and mostly unaware of , the opportunities ~~that they can utilize~~ available to them beyond big ~~names~~ -name resources such as [http://inventionstudio.gatech.edu/ the Invention Studio ] or the [http://inventureprize.gatech.edu/ inVenture ~~Competition~~Prize] competition.

Organizations are struggling to grow, hold large events, or simply stay operational , because of ~~the~~ a lack of assisted communication and constant overlap.

Professors are additionally wasting large amounts of time trying to connect to with students , due to a lack of protocol and standardized connection.

Our program will ~~exists~~ exist to foster a passion and ~~define a~~ create sustainability for ~~innovative~~ innovation and ~~entrepreneurial~~ entrepreneurship (I&E) among all members of the Georgia Tech community.

The University Innovation Council will support three main areas: the student body, current campus organizations, and faculty/administration. ~~ ~~This will improve the community by: eliminating overlap, bringing students of all backgrounds and ages together, and encouraging administrative involvement. This will be done in the following ways.:

<li>'''For Student Members of the Georgia Tech Community'''<ul style="margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><li>Provide access to a an umbrella calendar of I&E events</li>

<li>Connect individual student interests to the I&E movement with others in the Georgia Tech community</li>

<li>Formulate methods to encourage innovation at Tech</li>

<li>Provide updates and other opportunities on a regular basis</li>

</ul></li>

<li>'''For I&E Campus Organizations'''<ul style="margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;">

<li>Host Forums</li>

<li>Connect I&E organizations</li>

<li>Provide a yearly I&E wheel featuring individual organizations</li>

</ul></li>

<li>'''For the Administration'''<ul style="margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;">

<li>Dissolve the communication barrier between students, organisations, and the administration</li>

<li>Form strategic partnerships with supporters of entrepreneurship</li>

<li>Provide ‘voice’ of I&E for consulting</li>

<li>Create a mentoring program for faculty to get involved in ~~helping~~ ; help students develop ideas and turn them into a reality</li>

</ul></li>

</ol>

Additionally, please refer to our [https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AkIeZwL27QHbdFY5bXZtWkZJcUhFQ0JiN2ZwbVZtclE&usp=drive_web#gid=0 Campus Landscape Canvas] for both on-campus and off-campus resources, ~~and~~ as well as local Atlanta-based resources.

This Campus Landscape Canvas illustrates all of the ~~resource~~ resources on Georgia Tech’s campus for undergraduates, graduates, organizations, and faculty through perceived, potential, applied, realized, reframing, and institutional resources.Through this map, we ~~will be~~ are able to fully maximize student to , faculty, undergraduate, and graduate student interactions and improve it the map for the future , based on our knowledge of the current environment.
