i3 Alumni from the 2019 Cohort, Chantelle Roulston, Courntey Smith, and Bea Fadrigon, generously offered to present their research proposal presentation from 3 years ago! To help the 2022 Cohort see the evolution of their work, they then shared their final research presentation.

We are so lucky to have Aderin Falana-Chaco, i3 Alumni Coordinator and 2015 i3 Alum, present a workshop on how to navigate health insurance for our 2019 Cohort. The pandemic may have delayed our in-person Concluding Institute, but we're so happy to finally reconnect again!
4 people are seating at tables. A presenter stands at a podium and points to a slide that is projected on the wall behind her. The slide reads "Health Insurance (HI) 411."

It's hard to believe we're already in Week 4! i3 Scholars have self-selected into their teams and are preparing for their research proposals. Yesterday Dr. Eikey facilitated team working sessions, and today Dr. Booth shared project management best practices!
Slide on a project screen reads: Mindset. Conflict is an often unavoidable aspect of meaningfully interacting with other human beings. Conflict is not to be avoided. It is to be managed & (sometimes) resolved. We need to get comfortable with uncomfortable conversations.

Scholars expressed their creativity through the design thinking process! After building empathy, we iteratively designed prototypes. At the close of Dr. Huff's workshop, we reflected on how the same prompt led to different designs and constraints & tensions in the design process.
2 students sit at a table designing prototypes with paper, foam letters, popsicle sticks, and pipe cleaners.
5 students are sitting around a table designing prototypes with craft items. Other people sitting at tables can be seen in the background.
Multiple people stand overlooking one person who is holding a paper prototype as they describe their design.
5 prototypes can be seen. From the left side, there is a green folded sheet of paper with the letters L L O and a pipe cleaner. There is a yellow sheet of paper with multiple popsicle stick on it that says Pain points and Solution. There are green and pink pipe cleaners formed into a circular design. There is a folded sheet of pink paper with a drawn on laptop keys and screen. The screen reads Katha. On the far right side, there is a blue folded sheet of paper with pipe cleaners in the form of a box and popsicle sticks. The letters PH can be seen.
