On September 26th, Foresight students Laura Schlehuber, Katie King, Omar Sahi, and Jim Breaux (now also a faculty member in the program) along with Professor Andy Hines travelled to Indianapolis, Indiana to present the Student Needs project to the Lumina Foundation. The presentation included key findings from the two dozen strong group of faculty, alums, and students who gathered to research and discuss emerging student needs in terms of living, learning, working, playing, connecting, and participating in the year 2025 and beyond.
The student team and Andy engaged in some role playing which included a mock focus group as a means to interact with the audience and deliver the content. The presentation came together beautifully and generated some very useful discussion around our student-centric research and how it intersects with the goals of the Lumina Foundation.
