RVCTI

The 2017 RVCTI recipients were Jenn Stucker, associate professor and division chair of Graphic Design, and Kirk Kern, lecturer and director of the Hamilton Center for Entrepreneurial Leadership, for their course Cross-Disciplinary Collaborations in Whole Brain Problem Solving. This unique team-taught class sought to combine differing thinking approaches together for the purpose of understanding collaboration and finding ways for innovation. The class size of 24 was represented by 12 from the School of Art and ten from the Schmidthorst College of Business, as well a student from the College of Technology and another from the College of Education and Human Development. Four of these students were also current or former Hatchlings who competed in The Hatch in 2016 and 2017.
