<span style="font-size:larger;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">The implementation of workshops related to Innovation and Entrepreneurship is one of the greatest key ideas for getting the students involved on these matters. As of today, many workshops are held on the Aggie Innovation Space, although more promotion to these events should be given, as well as a higher level of hands-on experience, probably by bringing people specialized on these topics.</span></span>

<span style="font-size:larger;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">NMSU is hosting a 3DS (3 Day Startup) starting on Sunday, April 13, 2014. This will definitely pull students interested on developing ideas, and put them to work by making them participate on online-based workshops. By having at least a bi-monthly event like these, a high number of students would be exposed to the intent of this strategic plan.</span></span>

<span style="font-size:larger;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">Currently, there are no specific courses targeting students innovation and entrepreneurship. There are courses related to some kind of business entrepreneurship, but they are merely theoretical and lack hands-on experience.</span></span>

<span style="font-size:larger;">The University has taken the first steps on launching an Innovation Space on NMSU College of Engineering, but more input on this space is needed, as well as more spaces like this on campus.</span>

<span style="font-size:larger;">A partnership between I&E Student Organization and faculty such as the Arrowhead Center for working out some of the possible strategic plans such as bi-monthly workshops would make events and workshops be of greater quality, and would definitely attract more students.</span>
<span style="font-size: larger;">A coordination between students and faculty would allow I&E to be a bigger deal on campus, since both groups could input a greater value to these matters.</span>

<span style="font-size:larger;">Networking is the single most powerful tool marketing strategie to accelerate and sustain success for any individual or organization. By working with other Fellow Universities to implement and work on ideas together would make them be feasible, and not let them to reamin just as mere plans.</span>
<span style="font-size: larger;">Getting and providing advise from/to others can make projects be of a greater value than just sticking to your own ideas. As they say, two heads are better than one.</span>
