- [Male] What do you think, if there was like
a, a one word synonym for innovation, what do you think
that would be?
- A single word, hmmm.
- That's a good question.
(laughing)
(haaaaa)
- Well hey, give me a second.
- Um.
- Innovation is...
- Probably critical.
- Change.
- Creative.
- Creativity, creativity.
- Yeah, definitely.
- So when I think of the word innovation
the word that actually comes to mind is useful.
- If we really wanna innovate it's about saying yes.
It's about saying yes and understanding
what that opportunity and potential may be
because it might be an even bigger growth,
it might be an even better opportunity
then what we currently have.
- Innovation, a synonym for innovation would be,
I think, courage or hope of doing something that matters.
- I think it does take courage.
It's much easier just to do what you've always done
and, but if we want different results
we have to have a little bit of risk taking
in us to try something different.
And I think that's important for our students
to learn as well.
- So outside of being on the council for six months
I was an activist advocate ally for years.
Wichita State always came up from the communities
that surround it and the question was,
how can Wichita State get more involved
in the community and recruit more kids
from our community?
- So for us we're involved in
all different types of community.
So some recent examples of that would be
we spent the last three years
working in the Fairmount neighborhood through
the Shocker Neighborhood Coalition,
involved in research and direct programming.
- We saw more safety walks with WPD and campus PD.
We saw more engagement with the community assessments,
that was great 'cause we saw there was a huge need
for dental health in the community.
Well Wichita State has a Dental Health Clinic
so we were able to identify some needs of the community
and start to get those addressed and I think
that's a great model that Wichita State
can continue around other communities that surround it.
- And that changes peoples lives and that's a
cross-sector of all different kinds, right,
we've got private business people, we've got nonprofits,
we've got local government, we got Wichita State,
we got different departments on Wichita State
working on this and we're making people's lives better
and we're providing education in the form of lifestyles
and healthy living but we're making connections
and that's great that we get to be a part of that.
- I think one of the biggest misnomers is that
the School of Music might be out of date
with what's happening around it.
Most of the times when people say that
they've never actually, never been
to a school music concert.
I think our school music is actually really innovative
in the ways that it's approaching music making,
the subject matter of the music, and just the way
that we're sort of engaging our audiences.
I'm always impressed by our students.
They're willingness to sort of go out there
and create their own opportunities.
- And my name is Deanna Wallace I'll be
a senior at Wichita State University this year.
So I was asking Dr. Sternfeld-Dun about festivals
and stuff I could possibly go to and he recommended me
to the Cortona Sessions and it takes place
in Cortona, Italy and we just got like I think,
three days of just new, like new music.
Electronics, improvisation, different instruments
that I'm really hoping to bring back
and incorporate in my music and to just share
with everybody here.
Yeah.
I don't think that we interact with the colleges
as much as I would like to.
- We have an opportunity as the School of Music
to engage students from around the university.
So why do I think they need to be a part of this
if they're gonna be an engineer?
- I think there's so many things that we could take
from engineering or math because some of like
the greatest composers were like mathematicians also
and so I think there's some corelation.
- They can get this creative skills and failure skills
that will allow them to come up with their own ideas,
so it's not just innovation but it's the idea
of innovation type of entrepreneurship
and the humanities are like the keystone of that.
(clicking)
- So when I hear innovation I think creativity
and I think if it's not creative it won't be successful.
My name's Dave McDonald, I'm a Professor of Biology
at Wichita State University.
My research revolves around identifying things
that are out in nature that are inherently antimicrobial.
This project that we're talking about today,
cranberries and honey controlling the growth
of troublemakers in the human mouth, right?
That is the type of a project which would be
very appealing to a student who is interested ultimately
in going into dentistry say.
- I'm Dr. Alisha Prince, I'm from India.
I graduated from dental school in India
and then I moved to the U.S. and I started school
in Wichita State in the department of Biology.
My main area of interest is dentistry
and my graduate professor, Dr. McDonald's
main area of interest is Microbiology
so we found this amazing program where we could
combine both and research dental bacteria.
- On the industrial side they're interested in things
for solving particular problems.
And so working together it really is a nice partnership.
We check in with them.
We're on the phone probably once a week.
Now of course they have their, their concerns, right,
which are quite different from the concerns you find
in research at the university.
We have ours which is educating students, right,
and these kind of weekly conversations
and this whole collaboration is about bringing
these two concerns together for the benefit of both.
We get students who have real-world experience
working with industry to solve problems,
they get research from our industrial partners,
they get experience, experienced researchers
using our hands to help them solve their problems.
- Innovation is the future not just tackling problems
which are going on right now, but thinking ahead.
