The John & Fonda Elliot DI Fellows Programs

The John and Fonda Elliot Design Innovation Fellows Programs at ÆÞÓÑÉçÇøâ€” encompassing both the Elliot DI Faculty and Elliot DI Student Fellows— empower participants from all disciplines to collaborate across boundaries, explore human-centered design and drive meaningful innovation. Supported by the generosity of John, '70, and Fonda Elliot, these programs unite faculty and students in immersive, hands-on experiences within the Design Innovation ecosystem.

Fellows engage with the Design Innovation Toolkit, prototype creative solutions utilizing the DI Hub's technology resources, and cultivate the mindset and skills needed to tackle complex challenges. Together, the Elliot DI Faculty and Student Fellows serve as catalysts for interdisciplinary learning, creativity, and positive change across the university and beyond.
