Enable students by creating a collaborative spaces for creativity, design, and innovation.

Many of the most forward thinking companies provide spaces for employees that encourage innovation. Well designed spaces often serve as catalysts for enhanced collaboration and innovation. We will create collaborative spaces for students that allows for greater creativity, design and innovation on campus. By holding events and meetings in the spaces, students across all disciplines will begin to use the spaces to work with others projects.

In addition to having a few dedicated spaces, there are many common areas that would make excellent pop-up spaces. We will provide guides and resources to students to successfully create a collaborative space of their own anywhere on campus.

Establish monthly design, innovation, creativity and entrepreneurship (DICE) events

By collaborating with organizations and faculty across campus, we will hold events that expose students to proven concepts and priciples that lead to truly innovative solutions. Having regular events will help foster a community of innovation and entrepreneurship that doesn't occur in traditional lecture setting.
