Innovation Academy, Brigham Young University

I am honored to be part of BYU’s Innovation Academy.  Daniel Falabella and Salvael Estrada, two Strategy undergraduate majors, have done tremendous good in setting this group up and marshalling forces across campus in the cause of enhancing and improving innovation.  Daniel is in my History of Creativity class.  He came to me early in the semester to talk through his idea for a student-led Innovation Academy at BYU.  I loved the idea from the very beginning and was intrigued at the coincidental moment.  I had just started an interdisciplinary faculty group on campus focusing on issues of creativity, innovation, and learning.  Lots of synergy going on!
