The University Innovation Fellows program empowers students and faculty to become leaders of change in higher education.

Fellows are leading a global movement to ensure that all students gain the attitudes, skills and knowledge required to navigate a complex world.

Fellows are working with peers, faculty and administrators to create new learning opportunities for students at their schools to engage with innovation, entrepreneurship, design thinking and creativity.

The ideal team of candidates demonstrate a strong interest in innovation, creativity and the entrepreneurial mindset coupled with a genuine desire to inspire fellow students and make a positive impact on campus. We like to select students who are:

• Actively enrolled: students from all majors who have at least two more years left on campus; undergraduate, graduate and post-docs will be considered. We strongly discourage applicants who will graduate the year they are trained, or who plan to study abroad during their training year.
• Action oriented: students who possess a great attitude, strong listening skills and exceptional execution abilities.
• Respected by friends and classmates: candidates who can inspire peers and recruit/manage/empower a team of volunteers.
• Insightful and mature: students who can develop a rapport with faculty and institutional leadership, build support and form coalitions.
• Strategic thinkers: students who understand that change in academia is not easy, but possesses the persistence, perseverance and willingness to set up systems that will continue even after they graduate.
• All ’round cool individual: candidates who the other University Innovation Fellows would want to have in their network as peers, friends and potential collaborators.

• sophomore
