Built on the blood soaked sod of a former slave plantation, and established in 1896, [https://oakwood.edu/our-story/mission-history/ Oakwood University] is the singular Seventh-day Adventist Historically Black College/University, in Huntsville, Alabama. For just over 125 years, this illustrious institution has molded the lives of young and old, educationally, physically, and spiritually. Guided by the motto, "God First!", Oakwood University faculty, staff and administration impart knowledge and information, to empower students who "Enter to Learn," to "Depart to Serve".

===Promoting Student Innovation and Entrepreneurship===
On a large scale, facilities to promote the increase of innovation and entrepreneurship on campus are lacking. In recent years, however, Oakwood University has developed into an innovation friendly space. Thanks to Julian Waddell, Entrepreneurship as a minor with select entrepreneurship classes have been incorporated into the School of Business and Information. Moreover, across campus, administration has implored to think outside the box and create new ideas for the running of the school. Unfortunately, not much innovation is actually seen in practice, and is still on the very steady increase.

As it relates to entrepreneurship, several students across campus start their own businesses to help facilitate the their tuition payments, and to get a head start for their future careers. The Oakwood University Launchpad (IG: @[https://www.instagram.com/oulaunchpad/?hl=en oulauchpad]) is available to facilitate students' pathway to entrepreneurship, offering support, advice, and guidance. This facility was opened ([https://www.rocketcitynow.com/article/news/local/oakwood-university-opens-ou-launchpad-entrepreneurship-center-unity-authorized-training-partner/525-4725d4e3-a386-4913-9a2b-93c657e74b6c opening]) in 2021 and allows for students to explore the world of entrepreneurship with faculty who are trained to support and encourage. Though this practice of entrepreneurship is not heavily widespread among, it is indeed present, and facilities are available for students to access.

Resource talk:How to create a design thinking class for incoming first-year students

2022-09-02T02:17:40Z

Elizabethleeann11: /* How to create a design thinking class for incoming first-year students */ new section

== Design thinking classes are a great way to introduce incoming first-year students to innovation. ==

I think this is a great idea for incoming first-years! Having them participate in a design thinking class right at the beginning will allow them to find their passion and see if they could potentially be a good fit for UIF. Not only does it help them find a passion, it could very well be a new way to broaden their horizons as they develop deeper thinking skills. Opening their minds encourages them to enter into a new way of thinking that may not be standard in higher education. That will encourage change and more innovation on campus at an earlier age. It all starts with the key stakeholders such as students, faculty, and administration. If they get a large following of students it will be easier to talk to faculty and administration about implementing a new way of teaching class. Even a little demonstration class would help receive student interest on it.

== Ignite-Ideate-Design-Model-Product ==

yes i believe in the above stated procedure because when ever we wanted to create a design thinking class for the incoming first - year students i think we must include these things stated first we have to create a ignition of thought process and make them come up with a creative idea or a problem statement then ideate which means they have come with an idea which can solve the problem thought in the first stage then they must design it in a proper way and then create a sample model and finally it must lead to the development of a perfect and fruitful product. if we create a design thinking class for incoming students in this way this would be more interactive and engaging

== Introduction to problem-solving and human-centered design early on ==

Design thinking, especially when introduced to the student early on, instills innovative and human centered mindsets that will only benefit the student in the future. There is a lot of gravity in the importance of and educator seeing himself as a facilitator, as a learner, a resource. This serves the purpose of the student becoming the co-creator of his/her learning experience and designing something viable for a pre-existing need without judgement. Design thinking classes will change the dynamic between student and teacher transforming them both as learners; it will also make the student an initiator, a better leader, and a more empathetic person overall.
-Georgina F.

== Student Continuity ==

The creativity and innovation that design thinking provokes within students is very valuable. In reading what it takes to design a class, I liked the idea of having students return the following year to help. This continuity can bring a sense of community to the course. The hindsight knowledge that previous students can bring is valuable in sparking confidence and ideas in new students. The result of this design thinking opportunity with this trait gives the potential of creating an alumni network of growth and innovation.
-Julia Yaklich

== Early Exposure to Entrepreneurial Mindsets ==

This is a very beneficial way to introduce first-year students to ideas that could promote them to pursue their own business using design thinking methods of bringing creativity and innovation to their work. Early exposure to these things will also give them enough time to decide what they would like to achieve after graduation. - Isaiah Freeman

== How to create a design thinking class for incoming first-year students ==

The design thinking it’s just going to help the UIF program get better. Having Fellows come back to the program and help/ teach the new students would have a big impact on their learning skills or abilities When u have a fellow who has experience in the field, it just makes it easier for the students to go on the right path to being successful.

==Bio==
Hello, my name is Elizabeth Powell, I am a sophomore, and I am from South Florida as of right now, I live in Coconut Creek. I am a huge fan of computer technology and am pursuing a BS in MIS (Management of Information Systems). I decided to go to Oakwood University because it was an SDA, and HBCU and I wanted to meet people like me. On the plus side, it is far from home. After I graduated from Oakwood University in May of 2025, my career plan is to go back to school for my master's degree as of right now I do not know where yet, then work in my field and one day start my own technology company. I have recently taken on an interest in real estate and hope to get my license in that area. My greatest qualities are helping people, loyalty, honesty, and being very assertive.
