The Hive
The Hive supports students wanting to explore changemaking. This four-week program helps passionate students to create social change projects to address campus or community challenges. Hive teams learn and apply the Design Thinking process, focusing on collaboration, problem-solving, and innovation. The Hive also offers funding for a team of three to five students to prototype and develop their idea. All the Hive teams receive mentoring from the start.
