AnnaSophieHarlingSince its launch in September, the Tsai Center for Innovative Thinking at Yale has worked with students to create interdisciplinary solutions to real-world problems, despite facing difficulties due to its small staff and a lack of publicity. At the moment, Tsai CITY has just seven staff members, and only one full-time employee: Andrew McLaughlin ’91, the center’s executive director. Tsai City is also dedicated to connecting projects that have progressed beyond early stage discovery with additional resources to help them advance. According to Walker Harvey, Tsai CITY is seeking to be more integrated on campus by increasing collaboration with cultural houses, the Office of LGBTQ Resources, student clubs and professional schools. “We hope Tsai CITY will push boundaries on what entrepreneurship and innovation education looks like — especially around diversity,” Walker Harvey said.
