Changes

In order to support the connection of students to maximize innovative thinking while simultaneously attempting to close a gap the UI cohort identified in current Living Learning Dormitory opportunities on campus, one tactic currently in pursuit is the creation of a "Design Thinking: Living Learning Dorm". The UI cohort are currently actively prototyping the effectiveness of their design ideas in bringing students of all programs (i.e., business, engineering, art history, etc.) together in a dormitory setting to form a creative space that supports design thinking opportunities. Students that apply and are selected for this new venture will be surrounded but by individuals are of various backgrounds and expertise, yet find similarity in their common drive to create and innovate. In combining students of all backgrounds under one roof, students will contribute to the well-rounded creation of ideas to push the university forward, all the while mastering the practice of design thinking and applying such skills to both professional and personal growth.
