It\u2019s been 7 years since the Innovation Hub first launched in 2016, and we never would have imagined that in this time, the work would have grown so much. I\u2019m so grateful to the hundreds of students who have shaped this work over the past year by participating as team members. This past year we were so grateful to our many partners, detailed in this report, for providing our students with meaningful projects. The best part of our work is taking a human-centered approach to understanding how the university works, and we hope this report offers a little glimpse into what we\u2019ve been up to this past year. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The students at the Innovation Hub are diverse and come from all programs and degree levels. Students are placed on project teams that provide real-world experiential learning to build skills in four areas: personal development, interpersonal relations, workplace skills and technical skills in design thinking. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This year we had: <\/h2>\n\n\n\n
