<span style="font-size:small;">As the title of this guide indicates, working with faculty is one of the main parts in creating new course. Faculty have the know-how of the inner workings of the school system, and can get a course funded, approved, planned, and taught faster than any coalition of students. However, this also means working with and adjusting plans to fit these professionals' opinions and advice. One of the reasons the program at Norwich is able to exist is because of the support of multiple faculty members. Without their assistance, the work facing a group of students can seem too daunting for pursuit. Thus, here are a few of the ways that faculty can help you.</span>
=== <span style="color:#008080;"><span style="font-size:medium;">1) Curriculum</span></span><br/> ===
<span style="color:#008080;"><span style="font-size:small;">The curriculum in the course "Intro to Entrepreneurship" that Jake worked to implement was based off of a pre-existing business class, but tweaked enough to give it the innovative flare of entrepreneurial studies that warranted making it a separate course. Having a model to base a newly formed class' curriculum on is helpful. It allows those in charge to edit and adjust the elements that weren't working in the previous course and make the improvements visible in the form of a new class.</span></span>
=== <span style="color:#008080;"><span style="font-size:medium;">2) Financial Support</span></span><br/> ===
<span style="color:#008080;"><span style="font-size:small;">In addition to helping form the curriculum, faculty such as professors are the closest access most students have to grant money. Inspired by outside interest, Norwich's program was funded and back internally through the university.</span></span>
=== <span style="color:#008080;"><span style="font-size:medium;">3) Management</span></span><br/> ===
<span style="color:#008080;"><font size="2">One of the potentially biggest hurdles to conquer in implementing a new class is finding someone to teach it. Just like the other complex issues in this process, this too can be made easier with faculty assistance. The current professors will likely know if someone would be interested in teaching the course and can put you in contact with them.</font></span>
