The theme of this year’s Student Award is reimagining the University of the Future. How can we disassemble what universities have been and current are and reimagine them for the future? Universities are complicated institutions which have played important roles in the past. How do you envision the university as a driver and place for better futures? What would you keep, what would you add?
