Script:
My company will
create a one credit course that focuses on creating positive, healthy, and
consistent living habits for college students that live with roommates. Of the fifteen
students that we have interviewed at the University of Florida, only one never
had an issue living with roommates. Therefore, we want to address the
widespread challenge of roommates not collaborating to clean common areas of
the living space – such as the kitchen and living room.
This
course will be a win-win for students, as they receive applicable life skills
and points towards their GPA. Too often we hear stories about roommates
fighting over a sink full of dishes or dirty clothes left all over the
apartment – and our one goal is to
take away this unnecessary stress students experience.
First, we will present this idea as a mandatory class
for freshman, transfer, and study abroad students to appropriate University of
Florida officials. After each of the two trial semesters, we will adjust the
class based on its effectiveness and reviews written by the students and
teachers.
After at least one year of proven success at the University
of Florida, we plan to expand to other Florida institutions as a resource to
facilitate peaceful living between students and their roommates. By granting
students an understanding of the complexities of living with other people,
universities may witness a decrease in on-campus housing violence and an
increase in test scores across all majors.
Thank you!
Evan,
ReplyDeleteYou have a good idea for creating a positive and healthy environment for roommate agreement. I just don't know how this course will be implemented into Universities and how they will allow an outside company give this course instead of them doing it themselves. I think that you should have this company institute effective living skills and a class and create this course internally. I am not sure the exact process it takes to have a company start a class at a University so this might actually be harder for you then you offering your own classes. The same way that companies offer etiquette classes or dance classes, is the same way that you can do this.
Conflicts between roommates is clearly an issue. You did a great job identifying the issue through your interviews. The script for the elevator pitch helped portray you issue very nicely. The pitch was great, and you really showed people how many positive outcomes can be created from having a healthy home environment. This idea can truly benefit lots of people and you are doing a great job presenting its potential.

ReplyDeleteDear Evan,
ReplyDeleteAs I mentioned in my previous comments to you, I believe you did an amazing job in targeting a real need - especially in our every day college lives. Watching your elevator pitch I was really amazed in the idea you came up with. I know that having a class like this would help MANY students become more organized and ultimately live a cleaner and healthier life style. I've always been some what clean but I've also always been unorganized. It took me moving in with my best friend who has cleaning ocd to finally learn how to actually be clean and organized. I believe your idea could be a huge success. I enjoyed your elevator pitch because you had me very intrigued in what you were going to say next. Overall great job Evan.
Hi there! I think you did an awesome job expressing the need for your service while also detailing the solution your service would offer. You came across as confident and professional, like you’re a natural presenter. It’s interesting you adjusted your product from a mobile app to a 1 credit course. I could see that being incredibly beneficial for students as it’s helpful on many fronts. However, I do think the mandatory element of the course could be off-putting to students that feel they do not need help in this area.
