I found this article very helpful because I am currently planning on starting a program to engage first year students. While my plan is more of a Capstone project for students, as opposed to an event, I still was able to get some ideas from this article. I specifically liked how the relationship with faculty and the importance of having an idea space was discussed.

I enjoyed reading this article because it touched on ideas that you may not think of. Getting everyone involved in design thinking will get first year students involved, this article mentions the importance of getting upperclassmen support!
