Rachael Huebler is a University Innovation Fellow and an undergraduate student studying biology at York College of Pennsylvania (YCP). Her hope is to continue [[File:Profile 2.png|thumb]]onto medical school, studying to become a pediatrician. Rachael is a part of the women’s lacrosse team, Newman Club, Graham Innovation Scholars, and the Big Brothers Big Sisters Program. She grew up in Severna Park, MD and attended high school at Mercy High School in Baltimore, where she first developed her passion for hospitality towards and empathy for others.

At York College of Pennsylvania, Rachael was able to develop a partnership with a local community center in need of program formation. This allowed for her to connect the college with the center and third-party affiants to challenge students to use design thinking skills to solve the problems within the center and the community.

Since Rachael was young, she always had a niche for helping others, so much so that during her first ever basketball game at the age of 5, she gave the ball to a girl on the other team because she had not gotten the chance to score yet. This has carried over and develop into the longing to see everyone displaying hospitality and empathy to all regardless of characteristic and value variation.

On her campus, Rachael is interesting in expanding design thinking to include solving problems within the community, serving the greater population of York.

== Promoting Student Innovation and Entrepreneurship ==

York College of PA offers a wide variety experiential courses, spanning multiple disciplines and fields of study. It starts the first semester with the First Year Seminar (FYS) class, open only to Freshman and those students transferring in. This course serves as a hands on jump start for the students’ college careers. Courses like Entrepreneurial Thinking provide first year students with the skills and experiences needed to suceed in not just academics but also in an entrepreneurial mindset. The constellation program builds off of this first class. This is York’s general education program and provides specific areas of study such as Sustainability but with a multidisciplinary curriculum, allowing students to draw from a wide range of perspectives. The Kinsley Engineering center serves as a place for product or technology development. The engineering program at York College also requires students to dedicate three semesters to co-ops to graduate emphasizing entrepreneurship and business skills. The Graham Innovation Sholars have overseen the creation of a new makerspace on campus to promote innovation and entrepreneurship outside of the engineering center. The Graham Innovation Zone or GIZ as it's called by the scholars is a space for collaboration and ideation between the different cohorts of Graham Scholars. The Graham Scholars also created a design thinking class for York community middle schoolers called Guppy Tank Ink. Guppy Tank seeks to introduce these students to the processes of Design Thinking and innovation, helping them build confidence in their ability to be creative in and out of their formal schooling.The art department offers partnerships with the college’s art studio, Marketview Arts, an off campus art gallery and community hub in the heart of downtown York, PA. Student art gets put on display and allows art students to explore the spirit of entrepreneurship in their field. York College also posesses a large nursing program and nursing students partner with local hospitals to gain hands on experience during their clinicals.

== Encouraging Faculty Innovation and Entrepreneurship ==

The Center for Teaching and Learning at York College awards grants for faculty to provide them with opportunities to receive funding for resources towards developing innovative pedagogies. Grants from this center will allow all applicable faculty to test new teaching strategies, support student learning outcomes, replicate results in multiple disciplines, and enhance faculty understanding across all departments of new teaching methods. These grants are awarded for twice a year. The faculty proposals must include a problem that needs fixing, the method of innovative teaching, the expected impact of the program, and the evaluation of the program. The grants could be used to purchase and teach new technology or sponsor workshops or guest speakers. Previous grants have been awarded to faculty to fund Poverty Simulations to sensitize participants to uncomfortable situations. Our grant program is the most prominent and successful faculty funding program on campus.  

== Actively Supporting the University Technology Transfer Function ==

Tech transfer is not available at York College.

== Facilitating University-Industry Collaboration ==

York College of PA has an engineering co-op program with many business partnerships. These include and are not limited to: Johnson Controls, Voith Hydro, and Harley Davidson.  In addition to engineering, industry contacts exist for nursing majors who do clinicals. For those majors which are not specified, the Alumni Relations Office and many schools have contacts in various industries.

In the engineering department, there are many adjunct professors who work in the industry as optics engineering, consulting engineerings, etc. In nursing, many classes are taught by local nurse practitioners.

The Intelligence Analysis program at York College is another example of this cross collaboration between the college and external industry actors. Intelligence students not only get chances to hear and participate in panel discussions with intelligence agency officials but are also given the opportunity to co-author a book on U.S. national security threats and interests. The past iterations of this book have been recognized by the Director of the National Geospatial-Agency Robert Sharp and give students the experience of becoming published authors.

== Engaging with Regional and Local Economic Development Efforts ==

York College of Pennsylvania has multiple programs and departments that relate to the continuous furthering of innovation in the market. The Kinsley Engineering Center, in the engineering department is filled with machinery that allow engineers to explore and tinker. There are multiple oscilloscopes, tensile tester, an 3-D printers. The Stabler Department of Nursing has cutting edge simulation labs that mirror hospital facilities as nurses would see them in the work force. The J.D. Brown Wet lab space in downtown York city is a space owned by the college for anyone to use to develop a start-up business. The Graham Innovation Scholars is an application based program that helps accepted students mentor students to utilize innovation and entrepreneurial skill sets. The campus counseling services are available free to any student that attends York College. Counseling services include; one on one counseling, group counseling, referrals to local resources, all at no additional cost. The Career Development center works one on one to polish resumes, host networking events on campus, does mock interviews, real interviews, as well as mini internship fairs and career planning workshops. This is a resource for all students attending York College to utilize at no additional cost. College students have opportunites to mentor in their desired skills by partaking in the local efforts of developing Guppy Tank, Generations of Hope, and Salem Square; all programs that are implemented to engage and connect the campus with the city's youth.
