The Student Think Center project, funded under the Title III Part A Strengthening Institutions Program, seeks to enrich the student experience and encourage student engagement in learning. Using a design thinking model, the Think Center works with undergraduate students to help them understand their individual cognitive processes and to facilitate exploration of potential learning solutions. Faculty who are interested in evaluating solution-oriented teaching strategies have opportunities to develop new approaches. Two learning spaces are available as prototypes for Think Center members to experiment with flexible, collaborative learning environments. Visit http://www.usm.edu/thinkcenter to learn more.
