Do you have a plan for making Clark a greener campus? Is there enough musical talent on campus to create a Clark compilation album? Or do you feel there is a need for a club dedicated to making the art of break dancing more appreciated on campus?
The Innovation & Entrepreneurship program is holding the first Big Idea contest to encourage students to help make improvements to the Clark campus community. This contest is open to all undergraduate students who see a problem on campus they want to fix or an idea for something that would make the Clark community even better.
Here’s how it works: Students must fill out and submit a 3 question Big Idea application by Friday, February 1, 2008. We want to know what your idea is, how you can make it happen and turn it into reality, and why you think this is such a good idea (what will it add to the Clark community). All applications will be reviewed and 4 finalists will be selected. All finalists will then present their idea during the week of Feb. 25 (National Entrepreneurship Week) to an audience of student peers who will vote on the winner.
We don’t want to just reward a good idea. We want to see your idea happen, so thewinner will receive $5,000 to help turn their idea into reality. We’ll provide you with both financial support and guidance throughout the process to help you bring your idea to life.
Do you have lots of ideas? Students can submit more than one idea/application. However, only one idea per student can move on to the final round.
So enough talking. Let’s get started. And remember, in the early stages, there are no bad ideas.
