The world is currently experiencing a climate change crisis. Host a political cartoon drawing competition where students can use their artistic and comedic skills to help inform others about the innovation and entrepreneurship. By organizing this competition, students would be given a platform to express their opinions on the Week and stimulate students to come up with new innovative ideas to the world's problems. |

Set up a university challenge where students from different or rivaling campuses compete. One competition could be to find the next best way to advertise and market for the school. Another competition could be to do the same, but for the opposing school. For example, USC students would create ideas that would benefit UCLA and its students, and vice versa. Local business leaders and professors could serve as judges for the event. |

Put Your Community on the Map II |
|
“Do you think there are things lacking in your community? What do you think can be done to make it better? Create a video, presentation, short story, or business plan that highlights how you could make your community better!” The point is to imagine an entrepreneurial venture that would make the greatest social impact. Ideally, members of the local government would be involved in judging and offering feedback, because this event focuses on their districts and involves their constituents. It would help bring a sense of community to all people involved. |

This event will focus on marketing through a team activity. Teams will consist of artists, musicians and business-oriented people. The objective is to take an original idea and produce a short video featuring a sales pitch accompanied by song and art. A business concept will be transformed via a marketing strategy involving music, art, graphs, charts and thoughtful sales pitches. This will challenge and encourage future entrepreneurs to work together and push an original idea as a viable business venture. |

Series of Panel Sessions with Group Involvement |
|
Host a series of panel discussions on issues pertinent to entrepreneurship, such as environmentally conscious business practices, ethical entrepreneurship, motivation, getting started, finding financing, etc. After the panels are completed, split up into groups and discuss the most relevant issues facing entrepreneurs. Give the groups a time limit and ask them to create a simple PowerPoint presentation, which outlines strategies to overcome hurdles with starting a new business. Have them discuss how to maintain a successful enterprise, utilizing the advice and thoughts of the previous panels. Groups will take turns presenting their thoughts with the rest of the participants. This would primarily be suitable in a high school or classroom-like setting. |

High school student fundraisers need to deviate from traditional paths. Looking outside the box of the yester-year lemonade stand, bake sale, or car wash, high schools need to encourage novel and original ventures. High schools need to provide their students with an objective but allow for the student to examine what will work in their community. In this activity, these students would attempt to improve their communities by seeking out possible business ventures and providing them with creative and original solutions. The community would benefit from these fresh approaches and students would build their entrepreneurial skills. |
|
Students majoring in the arts, either studio or art history, could provide after school art courses to students lacking the facilities in their schools to express their creativity. These students could volunteer or provide the service for profit. This could be offered as an elective course or an independent internship. They would be required to create a business plan and establish a self sufficient small business. They would have to attract potential consumers, create a schedule, and a location for the activity. The school children could then compete in a talent show to illustrate the skills imparted by the student. |

Extreme Commercial Makeover |
|
This is a play on the popular series “Extreme Home Makeover.” Commercial properties wishing to alter their interior aesthetics would receive help from the visual art and design departments at the local university. Students in both disciplines would collaborate on design and style initiatives to renovate these properties. Students in the business school focused on Strategy and Marketing may also provide insight and provide quantitative and qualitative support to the design suggestions. A big part of having a popular business is the way you brand and present yourself. This sort of collaborative activity between the two schools would enable art theory to combine with business theory to create spaces that psychologically and visually affect the consumer. Again there may be several teams competing on a design- thus, the owner of the commercial property will have a choice in the renovation. The property can then be evaluated by an appraiser to quantify the value added |
|
Local businesses, which seek to create a new marketing campaign or image, come to your university. The marketing department and the art department collaboratively form teams of both marketing students and arts students. These teams work together to come up with unique campaigns for the business. The team competition will result in a winning idea, which would be chosen from a panel consisting of various professors in both disciplines and the owner from the business. |
