“You have big ideas. Ideas that can make the world a better place. You want to start making a difference. The Student Innovation Center is designed with innovators like you in mind. It’s the nexus on campus where all Cyclones are invited to innovate through experimentation, interdisciplinary collaboration, and the free exchange of ideas. It’s where you can see your dreams make an impact.”
