Applied Design Thinking: A Human-Centered Approach to Designing Your Life

10 A.M. - 2 P.M. | 2/7 - 3/1
Open to all unl students.

In this course, co-instructors Dr. Andrew Hanna and Mike Smith (founder of The Bay and Stanford-certified Life Design facilitator) will use the entrepreneurial skillset of “design thinking” to address a student problem of the utmost importance: The inability to design your life and career. This class offers a framework, tools and a community of peers and mentors where you’ll address this problem through assigned readings, reflections and exercises. The final deliverable will be the creation of an “Odyssey Plan” focusing on taking action in the 3-5 years following graduation from the university.
