As a fellow, she learned about innovation, entrepreneurship, and design thinking. After her training, Meenu was able to apply these concepts to her own campus when she found that her peers were unable to make their own ideas come to fruition despite their education. By helping her peers, Meenu was able to find passion in innovation coaching, leading her to her current job today, working as an Innovation Specialist at the Academy for Innovation and Entrepreneurship at the University of Maryland. Following, you will find a how to guide on creating an innovation coaching program much like Meenu’s at the University of Maryland.</span></span>
