College Scholars Program
“As a public health nutrition advocate, the College Scholars Program at the University of Tennessee greatly enhanced my educational, professional, and personal journey to be where I am today.”

Student Spotlight

My major, Human-Centered Design, is based on building spaces and products that are for human use above all else. Combining classes from urban planning, industrial design, landscape design, geographic information science, and transportation engineering, my program is interdisciplinary and synthesizes fields that prioritize ease, sustainability, accessibility, community growth, and beauty. Supported by psychology, policy, and communication skills, I hope to build innovative, original spaces that defy current standards for human living and naturally encourage community, livable atmospheres, imaginative play, and functional accessibility for all humans.
