This programme empowers students around the world to become agents of change in higher education. Fellows create opportunities that help their peers unlock their creative potential and develop the design-centered mindset, required to take on complex challenges in today’s world. Students of all majors and academic levels - from first years to PhDs - who want to shape the future of education are encouraged to apply.Embrace different world views
Soon DesignLab will welcome over 400 international students, staff and faculty from about 63 different institutions. These institutions consist of not only ivy league schools, but community colleges, HBCU schools, state colleges, and even non-academic institutes. People from all’over the world will be welcomed: Uruguay, Peru, India, Germany, the US, Japan, Australia, and more.
