Preparing an Application
Quinn Massaroni, 2016 Recipient, Talks about Innovation and the Lamb Prize
In a new video, Quinn Massaroni--2016 Recipient of the Lamb Prize--talks about preparing a submission and also discusses "innovation." She acknowledges that the term itself can seem daunting because it seems to set a high bar. A tip from Ms Massaroni is to not be intimidated by the word innovation. She says, "This word is often interpreted to mean groundbreaking changes; but the reality is that everyday solutions can be applied to various problems and can lead to meaningful change."
We know that many students examine everyday solutions in their undergraduate programs. This may happen when writing senior theses or honors papers. It can also be part of the work in upper division seminars. Almost everyone is in a position to present ideas for change.
