The division currently has about 80 designers and front -end developers , but is hiring over 2000 2,000 new graduates over the next 5 years. The head manager of this new division is an OU alumni and has been extremely interested in a partnership. We believe a partnership with this new division could help is in 3 different ways. First, IBM design Design could sponsor monthly speakers and/or design workshops to get not just designers focused more on design but get people from all majors integrating design thinking into their projects. Second, the big name of IBM will get more students interested in the programs. This will help spread the innovation and design thinking across campus. Finally, this would create an easy path for students from OU to be hired into by a major company that is beginning to focus on design and has been known for innovation.</span></span></span></span>*<span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: transparent; white-space: pre-wrap; line-height: 1.15; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Team Leaders - Ryan Phillips (Computer Science), Sridhar Radhikrishnan (Dean of CSComputer Science)</span></span></span>
