===Ideas for Pages=Campus-wide Institutions==

Somethings might be sections within pagesThe five main institutions supporting entrepreneurship across campus are the [[Rice Entrepreneurship Initiative]], the [[About the McNair Center| McNair Center for Entrepreneurship and others might be pages. When we have whole pages on things we can include sections of them automatically elsewhereInnovation]], the [[Rice Alliance]], [[OwlSpark]], and [[Rice Launch]].

We should consider adding content for the following.*University institutions:**McMurtry Innovation Space**OEDK**Sewall Arts Studio (that basement thing?)**The Technology Transfer Office**We should also build a timeline of entrepreneurship institutions at ===Rice*Classes**Business School classes - although this is covered on the REI website, we should probably have our own too**Engineering classes**Classes from other faculties. If we put together a list, Ed can call department heads and ask what they have.*Clubs and Societies*Start-ups at Rice**We might do case studies and follow their progress**Some 'projects' are pre-startups. We should think about how we can classify them and record info about them.Entrepreneurship Initiative===

We should probably work out how to quantify university ecosystem performance. To start with, let's find out who ranks universities, what their methodologies are, ===The McNair Center for Entrepreneurship and whether we can get their data.Innovation===

Possible metrics{{:*No. classes, students trained, degree of training*Relevant faculty and experts*No. start-ups by students, faculty/staff, and alums**And value created!**Resources provided (flex-space, fab shops, etc.)About the McNair Center}}

They invite 5 alums *[[Rice Conversations]] ==Sources==To build these pages, we first searched for entrepreneurship organizations, clubs, and a max classes at Rice. We then pulled the most relevant information from those websites (who the organizations are, the parties they serve, dates of 25 studentsmajor events, application information, etc) and have 1 alum with 5 studentsconsolidated this information into a concise Wiki page. This isnWe also contacted a few organizations't really networking, more life spokespeople for further information. We could do something better?Specific citations can be found within each organization's unique Wiki page.
