On September 26th, Professor Flannery (Psychology) and Professor Frutos-Bencze (Business and Economics) hosted a Design Thinking Workshop for students at Saint Anselm College. Design thinking is a creative problem solving process developed by researchers at Stanford University which includes hands-on activities and collaboration. Organizations can use Design Thinking to develop products, services, and processes with a human-centered approach. Students from Professor Rickenbach's Adolescent Psychology class attended the event and worked on solutions for questions such as "How might we build a diverse and inclusive campus community?" and "How might we help new students adjust to the competing demands of college life?" Facilitators of the workshop included Dr. Ande Diaz, Dr. Stephan Unger, Dr. Robert Gigliotti, Dr. Ian Durham, Dr. Renee Turner, and Dr. Christine Gustafson.
