Collin Braeuning is a University Innovation Fellow and undergraduate student studying Computer Engineering at

Clemson University. He was born and raised in historic Charleston, South Carolina where he spent a majority of his childhood at the beach with friends and family. After exploring the endless possibilities after high school he decided to commit to Clemson in 2015 as a General Engineering student, where his love for computers and all things electronic was further developed through coursework and work experience.

Once at Clemson Collin found himself attending meetings for the Design and Entrepreneurship Network, a group founded by UIF Breanne Przestrzelski and jointly run between her and UIF Alex Bina. Here his passion for design thinking, innovation and the entrepreneurial mindset were kindled with skill development workshops, group collaboration, and industry speakers. Eager to help promote these ideals he joined the DEN leadership circle along with two of this years UIF candidates, Madison Maddox and Carlie Van.

Madison, Carlie and Collin were identified as potential UIF candidates by Bre and Alex for their desire to promote the I&E mindset on Clemson’s campus. He and his fellow cohorts are all looking forward to joining the UIF international network and working to enact change on their campus. Go Tigers!
