Life Design Initiatives Help UCM Students Solve 'Wicked Problems' They May Face in Education, Life and in Career Decisions
While the challenge of getting into college can be stressful, additional anxiety often accompanies a decision overload with students pondering which degree to pursue, and what they want to do with it once they graduate. Through initiatives that have been shared with educators across the United States, the University of Central Missouri is helping students tackle these tough decisions and more by incorporating design thinking principles into the student experience. The result of such efforts at UCM is a range of new opportunities from career readiness courses and learning facility upgrades to presentations that introduce this model for solving what researchers have called the “wicked problems” individuals may face in education, life and in making decisions about careers.
