Having cooperative relationships with faculty and administrators is pivotal to making ideas and dreams become a reality. Without being able to break down the walls between the students and faculty, innovative ideas can be pointlessly abandoned and passion can be lost.</span></span>

<span id="docs-internal-guid-b36f306d-4e35-1f35-6bc7-5a58bd3dde69"><span style="font-size: 13px; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(52, 52, 52); vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Albert Einstein remarked that if given an hour to solve a problem, he would spend the first fifty-five minutes thinking about the problem. With this in mind, research is key. Before approaching a faculty member and pitching an idea, the student must clearly identify both the stakeholder and the stakeholder’s problem. Further, the student must develop a plan of action, covering all of his bases. By preparing to such a degree, upon approaching a peer, professor or administrator, the student will appear confident, prepared, and ready to start making progress. If a student approaches a professor with a disorganized plan, without answers to potential conflicts the idea may find, and without a practiced sales pitch, there will be an instant loss of credibility and consequently lower chances of success.</span></span>

As the number of supporters for your idea grows and relationships form, the ability to communicate will become increasingly difficult. It is pivotal to your success to understand diverse methods of communication and how they best correspond to different groups of individuals.</span></span>
