Changes

The University Innovation Fellows are part of a national movement to ensure that students gain the necessary attitudes, skills and knowledge required for them to compete in the economy of the future. These student leaders from schools around the country work with their peers to catalyze even greater levels of innovation and entrepreneurship activity on their campuses. 

The program is run by Hasso Plattner Institute of Design (d.school) at Stanford University. The program was created as part of the [http://epicenter.stanford.edu/ National Center for Engineering Pathways to Innovation] (Epicenter), funded by the National Science Foundation as a partnership between from 2011 to 2016 and directed by Stanford University and VentureWell, formerly known as NCIIA.
