<div><div><div>In this class, professors at Converse would connect students with local businesses, with which partnerships with the college would be made. This class would allow students to learn how to reach out to businesses, along with getting the hands on experience and networking experience with companies throughout the school year. Students would have the opportunity to intern with a company for a semester, volunteer at events on campus, have an entry level position with a company, and much more. This would allow students to network more with the community, and possibly find future job opportunities after college. </div><div><br/></div></div></div>
= Priority 5: Create Pipeline for I&E Students = <span style="color:#000000;"><span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;">In developing students' passion about this movement, we must also understand that they require a path necessary to follow once they are dedicated. Priority four is tasked primarily with the development of concrete institutional pathways which these students can easily navigate. </span></span><br/span> '''<span style="color:#000000;"><span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;">INTERDISCIPLINARY, COLLEGE-COMMUNITY BASED PROGRAMMING</span></span></span>''' <span style="color:#000000;"><span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;">An area of potentially impactful growth is the establishment of sustainable relationships between Converse and Spartanburg area businesses and nonprofits.</span></span> <span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;">Converse already offers team taught courses, bridging disciplines like English and Biology to give students a new perspective in various topics. We propose that business focused students pair up with students in other disciplines to form new solutions for problems. As a school with a history in social entrepreneurship, solving problems in innovative, business focused ways would be a natural progression in programming. These programs could be tailored to help external entities like the Rape Crisis Center, the regional school system, and local nonprofits. </span></span></span>
