Madara Mason accepted into Stanford innovation fellowship program
November 4, 2019
UAF eCampus’ Madara Mason was recently accepted to and received a scholarship to participate in the 2019 University Innovation Fellows program through Stanford's d.school.
The UIF program empowers students around the world to become agents of change in higher education. Fellows create opportunities that help their peers unlock their creative potential and develop the design-centered mindset required to take on complex challenges in today’s world.
The fellowship begins with a six-week online training program, followed by an in-person workshop at the Silicon Valley meetup. At the meetup, fellows connect with one another to build on their online training. They also receive year-round mentoring and represent their university program at national conferences and events.
Next summer, Mason will attend the in-person workshop, bringing back what she learns to the teaching faculty at UAF in a series of workshops.
