Changes

Introducing the concept of innovation to the freshmen will be very helpful for them. The '''uifresh (University Innovation Freshmen)''' initiative was launched by Epicentre’s University Innovation Fellows in March 2015 as part of a White House collection of initiatives during the 5th Annual White House Science Fair. Leaders and Fellows from 10 schools committed to exposing incoming students at their schools '''to entrepreneurship, design thinking, creativity and innovation as part of freshmen orientation. '''As uifresh is much about innovative and creative skills, sharing of uifresh experience with the first-year students will help them a lot to bring out the hidden talents in them. It also helps to make major innovative changes in the college.

We came across Krusha shah who is a part of STEM and learnt more about uifresh. Krusha shah is a non-resident Indian(NRI) who born in Gujarat and later moved on to Chicago. She is now pursuing her under graduation in the stream of mechanical engineering. She is a university innovation fellow and also a teaching assistant for a class staunched to freshmen engineers at the Saint Louis university(SLU). she is mentor for sixty mechanical engineering students (i.e.20 students per section). She is an optimist. She is passionate about accepting challenges. She is very much dedicated to her work.

By this interactive session and some personal search done by our team we came across many ways of conveying our experiences to the fresher students and also we came to know that by conducting workshops we can convey our message more effectively.
