Adivar: /* Empathy when designing */

Very good text, I am glad to know that the tools uif delivers, will be useful in the future at work. Especially if they will be of help to understand the needs or inconveniences of the clients, I think it is something very important and difficult to achieve. I also loved the phrase about the importance of listening to learn, so wise! So I hope to became a badass same day haha.

I think that this article is badass. The fact that I can take these skills from design thinking and social innovation into my career in the future? Amazing. Reading through this article, I found it intriguing that the process is ongoing as opposed to traditional learning styles. Overall, the industries that UIF members go into will be welcoming badasses left and right. -ethan paras
[[Category:This had great information. It is great to know that the skills we learn through our training will have major impact on the decisions we make not only in business, but in our everyday lives. I also believe that mastering the art of listening will take this experience to a completely different level as we innovate and create to make the world a better place.-Jatavion Jackson]]

== Empathy when designing ==

This text is so interesting because it focuses on listening to other's in order to be successful. This idea is often overlooked when listing attributes, however, it is so important. By using empathy and getting to the root of the problem, the solution that is created from this will be so much more successful and really solve the problem. By using the Design Thinking Process, one can learn to avoid jumping to conclusions and instead sitting in the mess and the unknown of a problem in order to find the best way to solve it. Great article!

I love this article because it articulates the value of UIF. It is important for higher education to have a value beyond education itself. It must prepare us for working life. I think the value that we get out of UIF will not only help us in our future, but the design thinking approach will help us make change on our campus so that this mindset of design thinking begins to permeate higher education on a broad scale. -- Benjamin Lukens, Fordham 2023

The author clearly articulated many advantages of the program. As one who is about to start the program, I'm excited to adapt my thinking to become one that makes a difference in the community and in the lives of those around me. Let's see what changes we can make! - Andrew Varvara, University of Tulsa 2022
