As someone deeply engaged in business, I recognize that innovation thrives at the crossroads of creativity, expertise, and leadership.
Through UCCS' pioneering Bachelor of Innovation (BI) program, I've had the privilege to immerse myself in a curriculum tailored to the needs of forward-thinking individuals like myself.
This one-of-a-kind program has equipped me with innovative strategies and the ability to approach challenges from fresh perspectives, enabling me to discover creative solutions. What sets the BI program apart is its emphasis on collaboration, bringing together students with diverse skills and passions to tackle real-world projects for established companies or to pursue their own entrepreneurial ventures.
I am involved in exciting projects daily, constantly pushing the boundaries of what's possible. The program provides hands-on experience and fosters a valuable network of professionals who can support me in my journey to launch my own business and become a leader in my chosen field.
Looking back on my journey from student to innovator at UCCS brings me a deep sense of pride. The challenges and experiences I encountered have profoundly shaped me. My academic path wasn't just about absorbing knowledge; it was about applying it to create real change.
The Bachelor of Innovation program provided an environment fostering resilience, adaptability, and a proactive mindset. These qualities have influenced not only my academic growth but also my personal development and community interactions. As I transition from undergraduate studies, I realize the importance of showcasing my diverse experiences and accomplishments. My degree has fueled a passion for a career dedicated to innovation and positive change. I aspire to contribute to businesses and organizations as a catalyst for growth and transformation.
Innovation will remain central to my career, aiming to make meaningful impacts for both individuals and organizations. This reflection underscores my journey as a lifelong learner and my dedication to innovation for positive change.
As a team, we developed a working prototype of an electric wheelchair mount for standard wheelchairs. We turned our idea into a real-life product by pooling our skills and resources. It was rewarding to see our teamwork pay off in creating something tangible. This project showcases our ability to innovate and make a meaningful impact.
In this course, our team played a key role in developing the BI thank you project. We created a website to showcase successful alumni from the Bachelor of Innovation program. Through personal interviews, we highlighted each alumni's journey and accomplishments on the website. It was a collaborative effort that allowed us to celebrate the achievements of our program's graduates and share their stories with others.
Our project has made significant progress towards delivering a comprehensive set of deliverables, including a competition research database, a social media marketing plan with examples, and event networking resources. We've successfully completed a simplified version of the social media marketing plan and conducted initial competition research. Another success is our proactive approach to mitigating risks, such as stress within client contacts, by providing multiple future options.
