Graduate Innovation Fellows

 

Innovation Fellows interactively experiment with innovation mindsets, tools, and processes to make meaningful connections to their work and personal lives, and use coaching as a change-making strategy. 

Consider how prototyping quickly might impact a project you're working on; the value of gaining empathy for others when working together, or how leveraging various perspectives could propel your academic or professional career.
