ASU launches innovation fellowship program for retirees
April 6
The Distinguished Innovation Fellows program, housed within the Difference Engine at the Arizona State University’s Sandra Day O’Connor College of Law, is a new program designed for older adults who hope to continue their education after retirement and solve real-world issues.
The eight-month fellowship will allow fellows to bring in an idea for a global problem to tackle and pair them with a faculty member, or “thought partner,” at ASU. They will take up to three classes per semester for two semesters.
Simultaneously, fellows will work with and mentor Difference Engine students as they build products to combat inequality.
Professor Ehsan Zaffar the Executive Director of The Difference Engine at Arizona State University joined “Arizona Horizon” to discuss the program.
