Design Innovation brings together ideas and innovations from nearly all disciplines - from aeronautics to art, engineering to fashion, liquid crystals to computer science and beyond.
Design Innovation, shared by all, owned by all.
At Kent State, we are enlightening a new generation of critical thinkers by connecting disciplines to develop novel solutions to grand, global and everyday challenges. Where design and innovation meet, this collaborative initiative is unveiled in a new light as we discover creative, interdisciplinary solutions that our 21st century world is looking for – from concept to application. The Design Innovation (DI) Initiative focuses on the development of solutions by reaching across academic fields and partnering with industry to enhance collaboration and communication skills, critical thinking and creativity. Design Innovation is an ecosystem of physical, human and intellectual resources to help students find their purpose.
“Our goal is to leverage and elevate the entire Design Innovation Ecosystem — DI Hub and DI nodes — to help create a powerful and diverse community of fearless collaborators.”
— J.R. Campbell, Executive Director, Kent State Design Innovation Initiative
