Empathy when designing

This text is so interesting because it focuses on listening to other's in order to be successful. This idea is often overlooked when listing attributes, however, it is so important. By using empathy and getting to the root of the problem, the solution that is created from this will be so much more successful and really solve the problem. By using the Design Thinking Process, one can learn to avoid jumping to conclusions and instead sitting in the mess and the unknown of a problem in order to find the best way to solve it. Great article!

I love this article because it articulates the value of UIF. It is important for higher education to have a value beyond education itself. It must prepare us for working life. I think the value that we get out of UIF will not only help us in our future, but the design thinking approach will help us make change on our campus so that this mindset of design thinking begins to permeate higher education on a broad scale. -- Benjamin Lukens, Fordham 2023

The author clearly articulated many advantages of the program. As one who is about to start the program, I'm excited to adapt my thinking to become one that makes a difference in the community and in the lives of those around me.
