Magann Dykema, originally from Norton Shores, Michigan, is a University Innovation Fellow from the Spring 2015 cohort. She is a graduate of Michigan Technological University with a B.S in Civil Engineering with a focus on Water Resourcing and a Certificate of Global Technological Leadership through the Pavlis Honors College. She is currently pursuing a M.S.Ed. in Student Affairs Administration from the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse.
Magann is a strong believer in paying it forward. Because of this, she spent her first two summers of her college career working for Michigan Tech’s Summer Youth Programs because the programs she attended in high school played a large role in her decision in school and major. Additionally, she spent time as an Orientation Team Leader paying it forward because the guidance from her OTL helped make the transition to college easier.
At Michigan Tech, she worked on spreading the culture of innovation by planning and facilitating creativity, design thinking, and innovation events on campus. These include, but are not limited to, #uifresh during orientation, an elementary aged after-school class, and smaller workshops and events. She also was a part of The Alley Makerspace on campus where she was the Operations Coordinator and the Student Director.
When not hard at work, Magann can be found trying to relax by striking it up on the nearest lanes, drinking coffee, watching Gilmore Girls, exploring the outdoors, cheering on the Detroit Tigers, or creating memories with friends and family.
