Unfortunately, the students didn’t know what it would be used for and assumed that it was just another building dedicated as a campus incubator or site for seed-funding. Yet fortunately, Meenu was not only a Fellow but a member of UMD’s student government, meaning that she was both tasked with aiding in the designing of the center and was led with her passion for higher education and the need to revolutionize the student curriculum. Her first actions along with 19 other students and a mentor (who specialized in human centered innovation), were to implement the </span><span style="font-size: 14.6667px; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-weight: 700; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Design Thinking Process.</span></span>

The result leads to a vast amount of students gaining creative competence from their peers and now knowing what to do with ideas that could impact their communities and eventually the world!</span></span>
