Since joining As a UIFon campus, Maggie has been working on a project called Shocker Study Spaces. While interviewing students at Wichita State, she noticed many students said they were going to the same two locations Space which would increase student knowledge of facilities on campus that students can use to study, but not really enjoying being there. Upon further investigation, She is planning on doing this by creating a comprehensive list and distributing it was realized that there were many other places to study on campus, students just didn’t know those places were there. Shocker Study Spaces will create maps of campus to raise awareness of these great study places so that students can truly use the space given to themShe is also involved with Startup Grind U, which was started by Jessica Aldrich, and Innovation Station, which is being run by Christian Ammerman.
