C3, which is located on the third floor of the Kraemer Family Library, was founded by Seth M. Porter, Senior Executive Director of Innovation &amp; Technology and Dean of the Library, and Benjamin Kwitek, Executive Director of Innovation &amp; Technology, Inventor-in-Residence and Creative Consigliere at UCCS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">C3 stands for curiosity, creativity and community, values that C3 Innovation hopes to foster, aiming to unite faculty, students and external partners from various fields \u2013 including engineering, business, humanities, health sciences and cybersecurity \u2013 in one central hub for interdisciplinary collaboration, merging creativity, advanced technology, and real-world problem-solving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cMy vision is to make UCCS the first true Innovation Grant University, where creativity, community, and curiosity drive today\u2019s breakthroughs and tomorrow\u2019s,\u201d said Porter. \u201cJust as land grant institutions transformed higher education and this country, we aim to build a university that prioritizes cross-disciplinary innovation, impacting our community and transforming our campus by hacking through bureaucracy to unleash the creativity of our people. With C3, we are laying the groundwork for a university that leads, adapts, and inspires. A university prepared to meet the future through boundless innovation\u2014C3 Innovation is the foundation of this work.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Porter and Kwitek have already secured strategic collaborations and dedicated funding to sustain and expand the innovation ecosystem. In the near future, they\u2019ll be launching a design lab, which will offer a dedicated space for creative problem-solving, design thinking and iOS application training in the Apple ecosystem, as well as a collaboration with Deloitte.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cInnovators do not wait for permission \u2013 they invent and create the future they want to see,\u201d said Kwitek. \u201cInvention and entrepreneurship have shaped my life. As a professor of innovation, I see firsthand how traditional degrees and established careers are outmoded. Students want to customize their education and build a bespoke life for themselves. Innovation is the gateway to these&nbsp;goals.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Another innovation is the C3 Innovation Fellows program, which offers funding for faculty to use their knowledge for university and community benefit, sponsored by the El Pomar Foundation. With that support from El Pomar, the C3 Innovation Fellows\u00a0will apply their expertise to real-world challenges in the local community. Fellows will lead projects that foster creativity, problem-solving, and regional impact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Faculty, staff, students and community partners working in C3 Innovation will help propel UCCS forward as a leader in interdisciplinary innovation, offering practical solutions to global challenges and fostering local economic and social growth. Ultimately, C3 Innovation will connect the ingenuity of those across the UCCS colleges and divisions to amplify their exceptional talent and the impact the university has on the community. \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To learn more about C3 or support the initiative, please visit&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/give.uccs.edu\/c3innovation\">give.uccs.edu\/c3innovation<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>This week, UCCS celebrated the launch of C3 Innovation.
