Motto
Your
phone
is
an
extension
of
your
life.
Protect
it.
Mascot
A
single
red
flame,
representing
the
life
force
of
students
at
the
University
of
Houston,
their
pride
in
their
school
and
Cougar
Red,
which
aligns
with
the
brand
of
the
University
of
Houston
Vision
Our
top
priority
is
to
ensure
that
as
mobile
phones
increasingly
become
integrated
into
our
daily
lives,
students
will
become
aware
of
equally
increasing
threats
to
their
livelihood.
Mission
Ignite
is
a
collective
group
of
students
who
saw
increasing
mobile
phone
security
issues
at
the
University
of
Houston
and
decided
to

4. do
something
about
it.
As
a
group
we
are
using
available
resources
to
raise
awareness
of
the
growing
need
to
inform
and
educate
students
regarding
mobile
phone
safety
and
security
to
ensure
a
safer
learning
environment.
Through
working
together,
several
of
us
have
noted
we
each
possess
different
skills,
knowledge
and
experiences
which
when
shared
and
approached
correctly
provides
for
a
synergistic
effect.
Through
various
media,
interviews
and
an
event
to
raise
awareness,
our
hope
is
that
University
of
Houston
students
will
be
more
aware
of
their
surroundings,
especially
when
using
mobile
devices.
Within
a
few
weeks
we
intend
to
begin
raising
awareness
through
school-­‐wide
campaigns
using
print,
web
and
social
media,
and
within
a
few
months
we
expect
to
host
a
video
documentary
premiere
to
gather
attention
and
support
for
our
campaign.
Eventually
we
hope
to
spread
this
awareness
to
other
campuses.
Goals
Utilizing
viable
and
interactive
methods
for
propagating
mobile
device
safety,
we
will
strive
to
ensure
that
the
present
state
of
phone
related
thefts
on
campus
decrease
by
20%
of
its
current
rate
within
a
four-­‐month
period.
We
must
first
take
action
to
present
phone
theft
as
a
serious
issue
on
campus.
We
will
encourage
our
fellow
students
to
be
aware
of
the
existing
threats
as
well
as
to
adopt
the
methods
of
phone
safety
we
present.
In
effort
to
achieve
our
ultimate
objective
within
a
timely
and
organized
manner,
we
will
adhere
to
following
goals:

Self
Assessment
Plan
To
capture
team
assessment
data
and
implement
positive
change,
we
need
we
will
use
the
Analysis
of
Team
or
Group
Effectiveness,
the
Team
Development
Scale,
and
the
Sensing
Survey.
These
will
be
completed
twice
throughout
our
project.
Once
in
the
middle
and
another
time
at
the
end.
The
tools
in
the
middle
will
be
used
to
see
how
we
can
improve
upon
our
teamwork
and
the
tools
at
the
end
will
tell
if
we
were
able
to
improve
as
a
team
from
the
previous
assessments.
If
we
are
ever
to
meet
in
person
we
will
also
use
the
Team
Meeting
Evaluation
Form
-­‐
3
and
the
Team
Meeting
Critique
at
the
end
of
each
of
our
meetings
to
see
how
effective
our

13. meetings
went
and
what
we
can
improve
on
before
the
next
meeting.
We
will
also
keep
an
agenda
on
what
each
team
member's
roles
and
tasks
are
throughout
the
project
to
keep
track
of
all
of
the
work
that
everyone
does.
