Bryant U gives students jam-packed gen ed on design thinking
Bryant University’s three-day IDEA program gives first-year students hands-on learning experience across disciplines alongside older peers and campus leaders to promote creative thinking and problem-solving. The experience now has a focus on student well-being as well as a live panel for students to pitch solutions. A winter 2023 Student Voice survey by Inside Higher Ed and College Pulse found a quarter of students believe developing skills relevant to any job or career is one of the most important outcomes of their academic career.
