HBCU Students Can Change the World

The University Innovation Fellows (UIF) program at Stanford University’s Hasso Plattner Institute of Design (the d.school) empowers students to become agents of change at their HBCUs by learning design thinking skills, surveying their campus, and designing and launching a project.
