The INNOVATE competition has been taking place every year at Augusta University for the last three years. Interdisciplinarity (that is, students working in collaboration from various disciplines and colleges is encouraged during the contest. For the last three years, Augusta University has encouraged students to apply their knowledge, creativity, and imagination to tackle the social issues of the day.
The focus of this year’s contest is to address the needs of the community that exists in the CSRA. Critical social issues within the CSRA include the homeless, drug and alcohol abuse, the absence of wage-paying jobs, the high cost of childcare, difficulties recycling, and insufficient transportation.
Leadership in competition recognizes that even the most practical ideas on tackling these issues do not always succeed without a convincing presentation. That’s why the importance of Baker’s presentation.
“We tend to focus on the “why” behind our mission to motivate others to take the necessary actions. Rachel is a profound influence on brand development and marketing motivation, and we’re thrilled to have her presence on the campus. Students will learn from our presenters how to communicate their stories to their solution, ” added Lynsey Steinberg, a part of the INNOVATE 2022 team of leaders.
