Innovation Fellows

Be a Change Agent for Santa Clara University!

The Sustainable Business Institute (SBI) is collaborating with the Ciocca Center Innovation Fellows program. Innovation Fellows focuses on finding a pain point on our Santa Clara University campus and using design thinking methods and empathy to identify and implement solutions. This 3 quarter program is great for students who want to continue to improve and grow the Santa Clara community. The first quarter is a learning experience of mastering design thinking tools as part of an interdisciplinary team. In the second quarter, student teams will work with University administrators to address a real problem on campus.  In the third quarter, students will further refine their ideas, test, and implement their creative ideas for solutions that stick, well beyond their time here at Santa Clara University.

Now in its fourth iteration, the Innovation Fellows Program works in partnership with the Sustainable Business Institute and the Office of Student Life to address important issues related to sustainability and well-being at SCU.
