Design your life and discover your purpose with Dr. Andrew Hanna and Mike Smith, founder of The Bay, by enrolling in 1 credit-hour, "Applied Design Thinking: A Human-Centered Approach to Designing Your Life" (MNGT 398-951). On Saturdays from February 8 to March 1, you will use the entrepreneurial skillset of “design thinking” to address a problem of the utmost importance: the inability to design your life and career.
Enroll via MyRed by Friday, January 10! Spots are limited.
This class offers a framework, tools and a community of peers and mentors where you’ll address this problem and answer “what do I want to do with my life?”. The final deliverable will be the creation of an “Odyssey Plan” focusing on taking action in the 3-5 years following graduation from the university. Open to all students at the University of Nebraska–Lincoln.

More about Mike Smith, founder of The Bay
A nationally recognized social entrepreneur, Smith started The Bay, Nebraska’s first youth-only indoor skate park in Westfield Gateway Mall in 2010 and as interest grew moved to a 20,000-square-foot warehouse on Y Street. The Bay also serves as a safe space for youth and the community, with more than 10,000 skaters and 1,000 youth supported yearly through its services and programs.
“This course focuses on using design tools to help you craft a direction for your life. I learned a lot of those lessons organically through my entrepreneurship and nonprofit experiences. Experiences young adults relate to, like starting my own nonprofit and being a professional speaker, make the class more relatable and down to earth to students,” said Smith.
