CoLabEx: Big Ideas, Bigger Impact.
- An interdisciplinary workshop and symposium which yields a micro-credential in Innovative Thinking & Design.
- Graduate students are invited to brainstorm an interdisciplinary project based on a theme they can collaborate with a faculty or organization.
- This year's theme is Environmental Sustainability.
- This event includes information sessions, workshops and a culminating event hosted on October 25, 2024, after which students will receive a non-credit bearing micro-credential in Innovative Thinking & Design.
By teaching design and disruptive thinking, and exposing students to alternative applications for their learning, focusing on collaboration and networking, they are better equipped for applied work and career diversity.
