2. Project ScopeElon’s engaging intellectual climate is distinguished by supportive and collaborative human relationships that promote personal growth; and in 2013, work began on a new Intellectual Climate Strategic Plan. The question was raised by a group of students with a similar passion, “how might we improve the intellectual climate at Elon?” (Elon University, n.d.). This thought-provoking question led to smaller groups within the Elon community coming together to work on one common goal. The strategic plan is founded on four pillars: challenge, mentored experiences, student leadership opportunities, and community. The pillars that apply to this project are challenge and student leadership opportunities. The challenge pillar states that the underpinning of a solid intellectual climate begins with a challenge in the classroom and curriculum, which includes effective use of advanced and innovative pedagogies. Second, the student leadership opportunity pillar speaks to preparing students to actively and effectively shape the community in which they live through high-quality intellectual engagement (Elon University, n.d.). Elon-by-design was launched to introduce a novel, innovative pedagogy to create a set of opportunities that stretch across undergraduate and graduate experiences.Acceptance criteria for this project include guidelines for both the pop-up and curriculum infusion portions. The pop-ups created must provide opportunities for students, faculty, staff, and community partners to be exposed to design thinking methodologies. Similarly, the curriculum infusion must include undergraduate and graduate students as well as community partners. This includes students in any health science related field of study on the undergraduate campus and physician assistant and physical therapy students in the graduate School of Health Sciences (SHS). The requirement that applies to both portions of the project is that for the purposes of the consultancy project, the pop-ups and curriculum infusion must be in place within a 3- year timeline that began in August of 2016.
