Mechanical Engineering and German Minor, York College of PA '20[[File:4.18 headshot small.JPG|thumb|4.18 headshot small.JPG]]<br />
<br />
Hello all! I’m John. In addition to academics, I am very involved at school. I am a Graham Innovation Scholar, Student Senator, and&nbsp;Orientation Leader. I’ve played sax in the jazz band, and currently play string bass in the college's community orchestra.&nbsp;&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Growing up in Reading, PA, I was lucky to have passionate teachers who instilled a love of science and math in me at a young age. I’m forever thankful for Mrs. Lorah who taught me algebra, and forced me to join a science competition in 6<sup>th</sup>&nbsp;grade! This sparked my love for math and science, which continued through high school. Like any true nerd, physics and calculus were classes that I loved.<br />
<br />
Going through school, I learned to love music and languages in addition to STEM subjects. I wanted to study some type of engineering, but I also wanted to go to a college where other interests could be pursued... and York was the perfect fit. Talk to me passionately about something, or show me a TED Talk, and I’m hooked! My interests in lots of things lead me to apply to the Graham Scholars Program at YCP. This is a program for highly motivated students interested in business skills and innovation. In this program, cross collaboration between majors is required, and learning in our cohort classes is project based. The Graham Scholars Program allowed me to take a First Year Seminar about Design Thinking, network with business leaders on day one,&nbsp;participate in a student run business, and APPLY TO UIF! Learning design thinking last year changed how I thought about problem solving and creative confidence.&nbsp;With successful completion of UIF Training, I hope to have the skills to introduce innovation to the entire campus, and bring a creative mindset to every encounter in my life.<br />
<br />
In my spare time, I practice German, talk about travel, take pictures, eat chocolate, and practice mindfulness! Language learning has opened so many doors in my life. Currently, I’m starting to apply for co-ops, and hopefully next summer I’ll be working in Germany. Travel to Europe in previous summers has created never-ending Wanderlust in me, and an interest to learn another language. So now I’m taking a Spanish 101, and boy is learning a language from scratch a humbling experience.<br />

<span style="background-color: transparent; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-weight: 700; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Overview: </span><span style="font-size:larger;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">York College has the possibly to become an institution that fosters design thinking and innovation. To do this will be a lot of work, but it is possible. The faculty here care about their students and want to hear their opinions and ideas. Well here they are! Described on this page is the Three-Phased plan to turn YCP better campus. A better campus is one where we collaborate with each other, learn more about design thinking and innovation, and all have access to resources that will make us better professionals.</span></span><br />
<br />
<br/><span id="docs-internal-guid-905fe941-cb45-1767-5d16-431d80ad8a4a"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-weight: 700; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Phase 1: Create Design Thinking Courses</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size:larger;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Arial; white-space: pre-wrap;">During our experience interviewing freshmen, many of them expressed in design thinking and innovation and entrepreneurship classes. Unfortunately, many of them were unsure of their ability in the field, or didn’t consider themselves creative enough to be a part of entrepreneurship avenues on campus. To remedy this issue we would create design thinking courses on campus. "Design Thinking I" would fulfil a Gen-Ed requirement, potentially Humanitites, Quantitative Fluency, or Arts. It would focus on using design thinking methods to solve a problem on campus. It would be taught similiarly to how "Entreuprenurial Thinking" was taught. "Design Thinking II" would build upon the concepts of "Design Thinking I" to solve a larger problem in the York community. It would be highly encouraged to take "Design Thinking I" before "Design Thinking II". "Design Thinking II" would be the starting point for part II of Phase I, creating custom constellations.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size:larger;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Arial; white-space: pre-wrap;">A constellation is a group of 4 classes from a minimum of 3 disciplines. Students could choose these classes that comprise the constellation, allowing for greater flexibility within the discipline. "Design Thinking II" would be required for this custom constellation, and the ideals taught in the class would lend itself to the general theme of the constellation.</span></span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size:larger;">&nbsp;&nbsp;</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br/><span id="docs-internal-guid-905fe941-cb45-1767-5d16-431d80ad8a4a"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-weight: 700; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Phase 2: Graham Innovation Zone</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size:larger;">The Graham Innovation Zone (GIZ) is currently under construction and only availible to Graham Scholars, but we see this as a stepping stone in the innovation culture at York College. We intend to use the space to work closely with the Design Thinking classes to further their education. Within the space we can hold specialized classes, workshops, and events to bolster the innovation reputation at York College. This space can also be used as a collaborative zone for other group on campus such as FYS Fellows, RA's, or other students leaders. Working with other student leaders is the final phase of our plan, to create the Center for Collaborative Innovation.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: larger;">'''Phase 3: The Center for Collaborative Engagement'''</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size:larger;">This proposed organization aims to "break down silos within the college's five schools." The goal is to create an organization focused on interdisciplinary collaboration. The Center for Academic Innovation, Center for Community Engagement, Library Technology Services, Leadership Development Center, and the J.D. Brown Center for Entrepreneurship would all be brought together to collaborate on ideas to improve the campus. They would have free use of the GIZ. This organizational interdependence can also create a collaborative climate for other groups on campus. We believe the school will have better results the more different campus organizations work together, and this programs aims to create that mentality.&nbsp;</span><br />

Mechanical Engineering and German Minor, York College of PA '20[[File:4.18 headshot small.JPG|thumb|4.18 headshot small.JPG]]<br />
<br />
Hello all! I’m John. In addition to having major X and minor Y, I am very involved at school. I am a Graham Innovation Scholar, Student Senator, and&nbsp;Orientation Leader. I’ve played sax in the jazz band, and currently play string bass in the college's community orchestra.&nbsp;&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Growing up in Reading, PA, I was lucky to have passionate teachers who instilled a love of science and math in me at a young age. I’m forever thankful for Mrs. Lorah who taught me algebra, and forced me to join a science competition in 6<sup>th</sup>&nbsp;grade! This sparked my love for math and science, which continued through high school. Like any true nerd, physics and calculus were classes that I loved.<br />
<br />
Going through school, I learned to love music and languages in addition to STEM subjects. I wanted to study some type of engineering, but I also wanted to go to a college where other interests could be pursued... and York was the perfect fit. Talk to me passionately about something, or show me a TED Talk, and I’m hooked! My interests in lots of things lead me to apply to the Graham Scholars Program at YCP. This is a program for highly motivated students interested in business skills and innovation. In this program, cross collaboration between majors is required, and learning in our cohort classes is project based. The Graham Scholars Program allowed me to take a First Year Seminar about Design Thinking, network with business leaders on day one,&nbsp;participate in a student run business, and APPLY TO UIF! Learning design thinking last year changed how I thought about problem solving and creative confidence.&nbsp;With successful completion of UIF Training, I hope to have the skills to introduce innovation to the entire campus, and bring a creative mindset to every encounter in my life.<br />
<br />
In my spare time, I practice German, talk about travel, take pictures, eat chocolate, and practice mindfulness! Language learning has opened so many doors in my life. Currently, I’m starting to apply for co-ops, and hopefully next summer I’ll be working in Germany. Travel to Europe in previous summers has created never-ending Wanderlust in me, and an interest to learn another language. So now I’m taking a Spanish 101, and boy is learning a language from scratch a humbling experience.<br />

Mechanical Engineering and German Minor, York College of PA '20[[File:4.18 headshot small.JPG|thumb|4.18 headshot small.JPG]]<br />
<br />
Hello all! I’m John. In addition to having major X and minor Y, I am very involved at school. I am a Graham Innovation Scholar, Student Senator, and&nbsp;Orientation Leader. I’ve played sax in the jazz band, and currently play string bass in the college's community orchestra.&nbsp;&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Growing up in Reading, PA, I was lucky to have passionate teachers who instilled a love of science and math in me at a young age. I’m forever thankful for Mrs. Lorah who taught me algebra, and forced me to join a science competition in 6<sup>th</sup>&nbsp;grade! This sparked my love for math and science, which continued through high school. Like any true nerd, physics and calculus were classes that I loved.<br />
<br />
Going through school, I learned to love music and languages in addition to STEM subjects. I wanted to study some type of engineering, but I also wanted to go to a college where other interests could be pursued... and York was the perfect fit. Talk to me passionately about something, or show me a TED Talk, and I’m hooked! My interests in lots of things lead me to apply to the Graham Scholars Program at YCP. This is a program for highly motivated students interested in business skills and innovation. In this program, cross collaboration between majors is required, and learning in our cohort classes is project based. The Graham Scholars Program allowed me to take a First Year Seminar about Design Thinking, network with business leaders on day one,&nbsp;participate in a student run business, and APPLY TO UIF! Learning design thinking last year changed how I thought about problem solving and creative confidence.&nbsp;With successful completion of UIF Training, I hope to have the skills to introduce innovation to the entire campus, and bring a creative mindset to every encounter in my life.<br />
<br />
In my spare time, I practice German, talk about travel, take pictures, eat chocolate, and practice mindfulness! Language learning has opened so many doors in my life. Currently, I’m starting to apply for co-ops, and hopefully next summer I’ll be working in Germany. Travel to Europe in previous summers has created never-ending Wanderlust in me, and an interest to learn another language. So now I’m taking a Spanish 101, and boy is learning a language from scratch a humbling experience.<br />

<span style="background-color: transparent; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-weight: 700; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Overview: </span><span style="font-size:larger;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">York College has the possibly to become an institution that fosters design thinking and innovation. To do this will be a lot of work, but it is possible. The faculty here care about their students and want to hear their opinions and ideas. Well here they are! Described on this page is the Three-Phased plan to turn YCP better campus. A better campus is one where we collaborate with each other, learn more about design thinking and innovation, and all have access to resources that will make us better professionals.</span></span><br />
<br />
<br/><span id="docs-internal-guid-905fe941-cb45-1767-5d16-431d80ad8a4a"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-weight: 700; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Phase 1: Create Design Thinking Courses</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size:larger;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Arial; white-space: pre-wrap;">During our experience interviewing freshmen, many of them expressed in design thinking and innovation and entrepreneurship classes. Unfortunately, many of them were unsure of their ability in the field, or didn’t consider themselves creative enough to be a part of entrepreneurship avenues on campus. To remedy this issue we would create design thinking courses on campus. "Design Thinking I" would fulfil a Gen-Ed requirement, potentially Humanitites, Quantitative Fluency, or Arts. It would focus on using design thinking methods to solve a problem on campus. It would be taught similiarly to how "Entreuprenurial Thinking" was taught. "Design Thinking II" would build upon the concepts of "Design Thinking I" to solve a larger problem in the York community. It would be highly encouraged to take "Design Thinking I" before "Design Thinking II". "Design Thinking II" would be the starting point for part II of Phase I, creating custom constellations.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size:larger;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Arial; white-space: pre-wrap;">A constellation is a group of 4 classes from a minimum of 3 disciplines. Students could choose these classes that comprise the constellation, allowing for greater flexibility within the discipline. "Design Thinking II" would be required for this custom constellation, and the ideals taught in the class would lend itself to the general theme of the constellation.</span></span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size:larger;">&nbsp;&nbsp;</span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size:larger;">The Graham Innovation Zone (GIZ) is currently under construction and only availible to Graham Scholars, but we see this as a stepping stone in the innovation culture at York College. We intend to use the space to work closely with the Design Thinking classes to further their education. Within the space we can hold specialized classes, workshops, and events to bolster the innovation reputation at York College. This space can also be used as a collaborative zone for other group on campus such as FYS Fellows, RA's, or other students leaders. Working with other student leaders is the final phase of our plan, to create the Center for Collaborative Innovation.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: larger;">'''Phase 3: The Center for Collaborative Engagement'''</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size:larger;">This proposed organization aims to "break down silos within the college's five schools." The goal is to create an organization focused on interdisciplinary collaboration. The Center for Academic Innovation, Center for Community Engagement, Library Technology Services, Leadership Development Center, and the J.D. Brown Center for Entrepreneurship would all be brought together to collaborate on ideas to improve the campus. They would have free use of the GIZ. This organizational interdependence can also create a collaborative climate for other groups on campus. We believe the school will have better results the more different campus organizations work together, and this programs aims to create that mentality.&nbsp;</span><br />

It starts the first semester with the First Year Seminar (FYS) class. This course serves as a hands on jump start for the students’ college careers such as Entrepreneurial Thinking. 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. The Kinsley Engineering center serves as a place for product or technology development. The labs are only available to engineers. There is a makerspace being built by the Graham Innovation Scholars to promote innovation and entrepreneurship outside of the engineering center. The Graham Scholars also have created a student business to promote the entrepreneurship effort the program intends to accomplish. The engineering programs at York require three co-op semesters to graduate emphasizing entrepreneurship and business. The art department offers partnerships with the college’s art studio, Marketview Arts. Student art gets put on display and allows art students to explore the spirit of entrepreneurship in their field. Nursing students partner with local hospitals to gain hands on experience during their clinicals.</span></span><br />

<div>Hi!<br />
<br />
My name is Miranda Gajda and I am a nursing student at York College of Pennsylvania. I am also a member of the Graham Innovation Scholars on campus.Through this program, we learn how to use design thinking and apply it to our everyday life. This is how I got involved on the University Innovation Fellow program to further my knowledge and ability to work with innovation and entrepreneurship.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
On campus, I am also a First Year Experience Fellow. In this role, I act as a student mentor to the freshman on campus, bridging the gap from high school to college. I present mini-lessons to the class educating them on topics such as time management, fun activities on campus, and housing registration. I also am in charge of planning events for freshman to attend to socialize and meet new people while becoming more comfortable with campus. I am also an Anatomy and Physiology laboratory assistant. Here I help students to understand concepts and teach them study methods for the class.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
I am currently employed at Evangelical Community Hospital as a Nursing Assistant. There I am able to interact with patients and care for them while I attend nursing school. This is a great experience to get more interaction with the field I will eventually work in. I am also employed at Ideal Pediatric and Adolescent Care. This is a pediatric office where I have similar duties as a nursing assistant to triage patients and take their vitals. There I am able to work with pediatric patients and their families. In the future, I hope to work in the pediatric field of medicine.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
In my free time, I am a very active person. I am an avid runner and swimmer competing in community races I also enjoy CrossFit and competing in Crossfit competitions. In the summer I love to participate in the Tough Mudder races for the wounded warrior project.&nbsp;<br />
<br />

<br />
<span style="font-size:small;"><span style="font-family:lucida sans unicode,lucida grande,sans-serif;">Victoria Cox is currently in training to become a University Innovation Fellow at York College of Pennsylvania in York, PA, USA. At YCP, she is pursuing a B.A. in Mass Communication as well as a B.A. in Public Relations, with a Speech Communication Minor. Along with her academic endeavors, Victoria actively engages in several extracurricular activities at York College. She is an Eisenhart Scholar, Student Ambassador, Orientation Leader, and sister of Phi Sigma Sigma. Victoria is also involved with York's theatre department and is the Social Media Chair of WVYC, York College's radio station.&nbsp;</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size:small;"><span style="font-family:lucida sans unicode,lucida grande,sans-serif;">Originally from a small town in Southern New Jersey, community is a big part of Victoria's life. In high school, Victoria held the pageant title for her town and worked closely with town officials, volunteering at community events and attending town hall meetings. She has been fortunate enough to be able to continue her love of community and service while at York College, volunteering to teach an after school dance program for elementary students, working with a college preparedness outreach program, and coordinating future projects at a local school.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size:small;"><span style="font-family:lucida sans unicode,lucida grande,sans-serif;">As a part of her scholars program, Victoria was enrolled in a design thinking first year seminar course that completely changed the way she viewed creative thinking and problem solving. The techniques and processes that she learned in that course are things that have stayed with her and greatly impact the way she views every day life. Victoria has a strong belief in the design thinking method and it's ability to get to the route of the problem to create an innovative, useful, and possibly even revolutionary solution. Keeping this into consideration, Victoria wants to have a positive impact on higher education. She has been lucky enough to have access to enlightening and life changing courses, (such as design thinking) as well as Maker Spaces on and off campus, but she knows that students everywhere do not have those luxuries. Victoria believes students should have more opportunities to create, explore, develop, test, and learn - not what is just required of their major studies, but of what interests them as individuals in conjunction with their field of study. As Albert Einstein once said, "Creativity is intelligence having fun," and students should be able to explore education in a way that will produce never before seen, revolutionary results.&nbsp;</span></span><br />

<br />
To William, mathematics has described the world with indifferent elegance. He, as a human, cannot hold the weight of indifference. Where mathematics fails in description is where he creates written or visual expression. With the passion of an artist and the thoughts of a writer, he pursues a career in space exploration. The thought to help humanity achieve status as a space fairing civilization hangs on his head.<br />
<br />
William is attending York College of Pennsylvania where he is studying mechanical engineering. He has worked in the community and campus on a variety of projects as a member of the Graham Innovation Scholars program at York College. He was accepted into this elite program that focuses on innovation and entrepreneurship as an incoming freshman. Together the group of scholars have founded and run a student business in the beating heart of York City. At its inception William served as the marketing director managing social media accounts and graphic design. Most recently he completed an independent research project on reusable space launch vehicles where he set out to gain a deeper understanding of the emerging field.<br />
<br />
For nearly 8 years William has been an amateur graphic designer and for his whole life he has been an artist. The desire felt 40,000 years ago from cave dwellers to draw on rock walls remains as an everlasting itch in William's fingers. It only makes sense he is helping to design a makerspace with walls covered in white boards. A picture is worth a thousand words and when he becomes inspired by his imagination and sees wonder, he attempts to write those thousands of words as poems, stories, and random strings of thought.<br />

<div>Hi!<br />
<br />
My name is Miranda Gajda and I am a nursing student at York College of Pennsylvania. I am also a member of the Graham Innovation Scholars on campus.Through this program, we learn how to use design thinking and apply it to our everyday life. This is how I got involved on the University Innovation Fellow program to further my knowledge and ability to work with innovation and entrepreneurship.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
On campus, I am also a First Year Experience Fellow. In this role, I act as a student mentor to the freshman on campus, bridging the gap from high school to college. I present mini-lessons to the class educating them on topics such as time management, fun activities on campus, and housing registration. I also am in charge of planning events for freshman to attend to socialize and meet new people while becoming more comfortable with campus. I am also an Anatomy and Physiology laboratory assistant. Here I help students to understand concepts and teach them study methods for the class.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
I am currently employed at Evangelical Community Hospital as a Nursing Assistant. There I am able to interact with patients and care for them while I attend nursing school. This is a great experience to get more interaction with the field I will eventually work in. I am also employed at Ideal Pediatric and Adolescent Care. This is a pediatric office where I have similar duties as a nursing assistant to triage patients and take their vitals. There I am able to work with pediatric patients and their families. In the future, I hope to work in the pediatric field of medicine.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
In my free time, I am a very active person. I am an avid runner and swimmer competing in community races I also enjoy CrossFit and competing in Crossfit competitions. In the summer I love to participate in the Tough Mudder races for the wounded warrior project.&nbsp;<br />
<br />

<div>'''John Kershner''', UIF Fall 2017<br />
<br />
Mechanical Engingeering and German Minor, York College of PA '20<br />
<br />
Hello all! I’m John. In addition to having major X and minor Y, I am very involved at school. I am a Graham Innovation Scholar, Student Senator, and [[File:4.18 headshot small.JPG|thumb|200x300px|4.18 headshot small.JPG]]Orientation Leader. I’ve played sax in the jazz band, and currently play string bass in the college's community orchestra. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
Growing up in Reading, PA, I was lucky to have passionate teachers who instilled a love of science and math in me at a young age. I’m forever thankful for Mrs. Lorah who taught me algebra, and forced me to join a science competition in 6<sup>th</sup> grade! This sparked my love for math and science, which continued through high school. Like any true nerd, physics and calculus were classes that I loved.<br />
<br />
Going through school, I learned to love music and languages in addition to STEM subjects. I wanted to study some type of engineering, but I also wanted to go to a college where other interests could be pursued... and York was the perfect fit. Talk to me passionately about something, or show me a TED Talk, and I’m hooked! My interests in lots of things lead me to apply to the Graham Scholars Program at YCP. This is a program for highly motivated students interested in business skills and innovation. In this program, cross collaboration between majors is required, and learning in our cohort classes is project based. The Graham Scholars Program allowed me to take a First Year Seminar about Design Thinking, network with business leaders on day one,&nbsp;participate in a student run business, and APPLY TO UIF! Learning design thinking last year changed how I thought about problem solving and creative confidence.&nbsp;With successful completion of UIF Training, I hope to have the skills to introduce innovation to the entire campus, and bring a creative mindset to every encounter in my life.<br />
<br />
In my spare time, I practice German, talk about travel, take pictures, eat chocolate, and practice mindfulness! Language learning has opened so many doors in my life. Currently, I’m starting to apply for co-ops, and hopefully next summer I’ll be working in Germany. Travel to Europe in previous summers has created never-ending Wanderlust in me, and an interest to learn another language. So now I’m taking a Spanish 101, and boy is learning a language from scratch a humbling experience.<br />

<div>Robert Nicholas Vandemark (preferred name Nick) is currently training to become a University Innovation Fellow. Nick attends York College of Pennsylvania (YCP), where he is pursuing a B.S. in Computer Engineering, a B.S. in Computer Science, a minor in Mathematics, and a minor in Physics. Along with his dedication to his education, Nick’s active in one of his campus’ honors program the ''Graham Innovation Scholars'', and he’s also involved in a number of extracurricular activities. These include, but are not limited to:<br />
<br />
*Co-organizer of YCPHacks, YCP’s hackathon<br />
*Co-developer of YCP’s first makerspace, the Graham Innovation Zone<br />
*Developing robotics for a local York startup company<br />
*Member of Tech Tinkerers, an initiative that gives young kids the tools and resources they need to learn and get excited about computers and programming<br />
<br />
<br />
<p style="text-align: center;">&nbsp;[[File:--Nick Vandemark.jpg|400x300px|--Nick Vandemark.jpg]]</p><p style="text-align: center;">The Kinkaku-Ji Temple (the Golden Pavilion) in Kyoto, Japan</p><br />
<br/>Nick has lived in Pennsylvania all his life – born in Paoli, lived in Exton until the age of three, and has since moved around in West Chester. Nick was lucky enough to attend B. Reed Henderson High School, recently announced to be the number four public high school in the nation. The environment there promotes creative/hands on learning with a welcoming atmosphere, and gave him the resources he needed to succeed. Because of his experience there and the AP tests that were offered to him, he went into his freshman year at YCP with 45 credits, allowing him to graduate on time with a double major and double minor. Overall, Nick has had a fantastic experience with higher education, something that’s been important to him for a long time.<br />
<br />
&nbsp;<br />
<br />
As part of the Graham Innovation Scholar program, Nick was offered a seat in a design thinking class, one that stressed the importance of hands on learning, innovative mindsets, etc. He left this course with a completely different view of efficient business practice and principles. Throughout his college experience, Nick has been offered plenty of great opportunities like these to advance his academic career and shape his future, and he wants to do everything he can to improve his classmates higher educational experience.<br />

<br />
<span style="font-size:small;"><span style="font-family:lucida sans unicode,lucida grande,sans-serif;">Victoria Cox is currently in training to become a University Innovation Fellow at York College of Pennsylvania in York, PA, USA. At YCP, she is pursuing a B.A. in Mass Communication as well as a B.A. in Public Relations, with a Speech Communication Minor. Along with her academic endeavors, Victoria actively engages in several extracurricular activities at York College. She is an Eisenhart Scholar, Student Ambassador, Orientation Leader, and sister of Phi Sigma Sigma. Victoria is also involved with York's theatre department and is the Social Media Chair of WVYC, York College's radio station.&nbsp;</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size:small;"><span style="font-family:lucida sans unicode,lucida grande,sans-serif;">Originally from a small town in Southern New Jersey, community is a big part of Victoria's life. In high school, Victoria held the pageant title for her town and worked closely with town officials, volunteering at community events and attending town hall meetings. She has been fortunate enough to be able to continue her love of community and service while at York College, volunteering to teach an after school dance program for elementary students, working with a college preparedness outreach program, and coordinating future projects at a local school.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size:small;"><span style="font-family:lucida sans unicode,lucida grande,sans-serif;">As a part of her scholars program, Victoria was enrolled in a design thinking first year seminar course that completely changed the way she viewed creative thinking and problem solving. The techniques and processes that she learned in that course are things that have stayed with her and greatly impact the way she views every day life. Victoria has a strong belief in the design thinking method and it's ability to get to the route of the problem to create an innovative, useful, and possibly even revolutionary solution. Keeping this into consideration, Victoria wants to have a positive impact on higher education. She has been lucky enough to have access to enlightening and life changing courses, (such as design thinking) as well as Maker Spaces on and off campus, but she knows that students everywhere do not have those luxuries. Victoria believes students should have more opportunities to create, explore, develop, test, and learn - not what is just required of their major studies, but of what interests them as individuals in conjunction with their field of study. As Albert Einstein once said, "Creativity is intelligence having fun," and students should be able to explore education in a way that will produce never before seen, revolutionary results.&nbsp;</span></span><br />

As Albert Einstein once said, "Creativity is intelligence having fun," and students should be able to explore education in a way that will produce never before seen, revolutionary results.&nbsp;</span></span><br />

It starts the first semester with the First Year Seminar (FYS) class. This course serves as a hands on jump start for the students’ college careers such as Entrepreneurial Thinking. 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. The Kinsley Engineering center serves as a place for product or technology development. The labs are only available to engineers. There is a makerspace being built by the Graham Innovation Scholars to promote innovation and entrepreneurship outside of the engineering center. The Graham Scholars also have created a student business to promote the entrepreneurship effort the program intends to accomplish. The engineering programs at York require three co-op semesters to graduate emphasizing entrepreneurship and business. The art department offers partnerships with the college’s art studio, Marketview Arts. Student art gets put on display and allows art students to explore the spirit of entrepreneurship in their field. Nursing students partner with local hospitals to gain hands on experience during their clinicals.</span></span><br/><span id="docs-internal-guid-6e67f5e3-35ae-52d5-5cdc-5997d361650d"><span style="font-size: 10.5pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(29, 33, 38); background-color: transparent; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Encouraging faculty innovation and entrepreneurship:</span></span><br />

To William, mathematics has described the world with indifferent elegance. He, as a human, cannot hold the weight of indifference. Where mathematics fails in description is where he creates written or visual expression. With the passion of an artist and the thoughts of a writer, he pursues a career in space exploration. The thought to help humanity achieve status as a space fairing civilization hangs on his head.<br />
<br />
William is attending York College of Pennsylvania where he is studying mechanical engineering. He has worked in the community and campus on a variety of projects as a member of the Graham Innovation Scholars program at York College. He was accepted into this elite program that focuses on innovation and entrepreneurship as an incoming freshman. Together the group of scholars have founded and run a student business in the beating heart of York City. At its inception William served as the marketing director managing social media accounts and graphic design. Most recently he completed an independent research project on reusable space launch vehicles where he set out to gain a deeper understanding of the emerging field.<br />
<br />
For nearly 8 years William has been an amateur graphic designer and for his whole life he has been an artist. The desire felt 40,000 years ago from cave dwellers to draw on rock walls remains as an everlasting itch in William's fingers. It only makes sense he is helping to design a makerspace with walls covered in white boards. A picture is worth a thousand words and when he becomes inspired by his imagination and sees wonder, he attempts to write those thousands of words as poems, stories, and random strings of thought.<br />

<div>'''John Kershner''', UIF Fall 2017<br />
<br />
Mechanical Engingeering and German Minor, York College of PA '20<br />
<br />
Hello all! I’m John. In addition to having major X and minor Y, I am very involved at school. I am a Graham Innovation Scholar, Student Senator, and [[File:4.18 headshot small.JPG|thumb|200x300px]]Orientation Leader. I’ve played sax in the jazz band, and currently play string bass in the college's community orchestra. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
Growing up in Reading, PA, I was lucky to have passionate teachers who instilled a love of science and math in me at a young age. I’m forever thankful for Mrs. Lorah who taught me algebra, and forced me to join a science competition in 6<sup>th</sup> grade! This sparked my love for math and science, which continued through high school. Like any true nerd, physics and calculus were classes that I loved.<br />
<br />
Going through school, I learned to love music and languages in addition to STEM subjects. I wanted to study some type of engineering, but I also wanted to go to a college where other interests could be pursued... and York was the perfect fit. Talk to me passionately about something, or show me a TED Talk, and I’m hooked! My interests in lots of things lead me to apply to the Graham Scholars Program at YCP. This is a program for highly motivated students interested in business skills and innovation. In this program, cross collaboration between majors is required, and learning in our cohort classes is project based. The Graham Scholars Program allowed me to take a First Year Seminar about Design Thinking, network with business leaders on day one,&nbsp;participate in a student run business, and APPLY TO UIF! Learning design thinking last year changed how I thought about problem solving and creative confidence.&nbsp;With successful completion of UIF Training, I hope to have the skills to introduce innovation to the entire campus, and bring a creative mindset to every encounter in my life.<br />
<br />
In my spare time, I practice German, talk about travel, take pictures, eat chocolate, and practice mindfulness! Language learning has opened so many doors in my life. Currently, I’m starting to apply for co-ops, and hopefully next summer I’ll be working in Germany. Travel to Europe in previous summers has created never-ending Wanderlust in me, and an interest to learn another language. So now I’m taking a Spanish 101, and boy is learning a language from scratch a humbling experience.<br />

<div>Hi!<br />
<br />
My name is Miranda Gajda and I am a nursing student at York College of Pennsylvania. I am also a member of the Graham Innovation Scholars on campus.Through this program, we learn how to use design thinking and apply it to our everyday life. This is how I got involved on the University Innovation Fellow program to further my knowledge and ability to work with innovation and entrepreneurship.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
On campus, I am also a First Year Experience Fellow. In this role, I act as a student mentor to the freshman on campus, bridging the gap from high school to college. I present mini-lessons to the class educating them on topics such as time management, fun activities on campus, and housing registration. I also am in charge of planning events for freshman to attend to socialize and meet new people while becoming more comfortable with campus. I am also an Anatomy and Physiology laboratory assistant. Here I help students to understand concepts and teach them study methods for the class.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
I am currently employed at Evangelical Community Hospital as a Nursing Assistant. There I am able to interact with patients and care for them while I attend nursing school. This is a great experience to get more interaction with the field I will eventually work in. I am also employed at Ideal Pediatric and Adolescent Care. This is a pediatric office where I have similar duties as a nursing assistant to triage patients and take their vitals. There I am able to work with pediatric patients and their families. In the future, I hope to work in the pediatric field of medicine.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
In my free time, I am a very active person. I am an avid runner and swimmer competing in community races I also enjoy CrossFit and competing in Crossfit competitions. In the summer I love to participate in the Tough Mudder races for the wounded warrior project.&nbsp;<br />
<br />

<br/>Nick has lived in Pennsylvania all his life – born in Paoli, lived in Exton until the age of three, and has since moved around in West Chester. Nick was lucky enough to attend B. Reed Henderson High School, recently announced to be the number four public high school in the nation. The environment there promotes creative/hands on learning with a welcoming atmosphere, and gave him the resources he needed to succeed. Because of his experience there and the AP tests that were offered to him, he went into his freshman year at YCP with 45 credits, allowing him to graduate on time with a double major and double minor. Overall, Nick has had a fantastic experience with higher education, something that’s been important to him for a long time.<br />
<br />
&nbsp;<br />
<br />
As part of the Graham Innovation Scholar program, Nick was offered a seat in a design thinking class, one that stressed the importance of hands on learning, innovative mindsets, etc. He left this course with a completely different view of efficient business practice and principles. Throughout his college experience, Nick has been offered plenty of great opportunities like these to advance his academic career and shape his future, and he wants to do everything he can to improve his classmates higher educational experience.<br />

<div>[[File:--VickyCox.jpg|right|300x400px|--VickyCox.jpg]]<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size:small;"><span style="font-family:lucida sans unicode,lucida grande,sans-serif;">Victoria Cox is currently in training to become a University Innovation Fellow at York College of Pennsylvania in York, PA, USA. At YCP, she is pursuing a B.A. in Mass Communication as well as a B.A. in Public Relations, with a Speech Communication Minor. Along with her academic endeavors, Victoria actively engages in several extracurricular activities at York College. She is an Eisenhart Scholar, Student Ambassador, Orientation Leader, and sister of Phi Sigma Sigma. Victoria is also involved with York's theatre department and is the Social Media Chair of WVYC, York College's radio station.&nbsp;</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size:small;"><span style="font-family:lucida sans unicode,lucida grande,sans-serif;">Originally from a small town in Southern New Jersey, community is a big part of Victoria's life. In high school, Victoria held the pageant title for her town and worked closely with town officials, volunteering at community events and attending town hall meetings. She has been fortunate enough to be able to continue her love of community and service while at York College, volunteering to teach an after school dance program for elementary students, working with a college preparedness outreach program, and coordinating future projects at a local school.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size:small;"><span style="font-family:lucida sans unicode,lucida grande,sans-serif;">As a part of her scholars program, Victoria was enrolled in a design thinking first year seminar course that completely changed the way she viewed creative thinking and problem solving. The techniques and processes that she learned in that course are things that have stayed with her and greatly impact the way she views every day life. Victoria has a strong belief in the design thinking method and it's ability to get to the route of the problem to create an innovative, useful, and possibly even revolutionary solution. Keeping this into consideration, Victoria wants to have a positive impact on higher education. She has been lucky enough to have access to enlightening and life changing courses, (such as design thinking) as well as Maker Spaces on and off campus, but she knows that students everywhere do not have those luxuries. Victoria believes students should have more opportunities to create, explore, develop, test, and learn - not what is just required of their major studies, but of what interests them as individuals in conjunction with their field of study. As Albert Einstein once said, "Creativity is intelligence having fun," and students should be able to explore education in a way that will produce never before seen, revolutionary results.&nbsp;</span></span><br />
