Heidi Bostic, Ph.D. Marquette University Dean, College of Arts and Sciences

Keynote Topic: Using Design Thinking to Reimagine Your Path Forward

Session Description: Designers create worlds and solve problems using design thinking. Look around your office or home—at the tablet or smartphone you may be holding or the chair you are sitting in. Everything in our lives was designed by someone. And every design starts with a problem that a designer or team of designers seeks to solve.

Accounting, finance and IT students tend to focus their early college careers on building a resume, but sometimes we need a prompt to consider the life we are building. In this interactive session, Dr. Bostic shows us how design thinking can help us reimagine a path forward that is both meaningful and fulfilling. The same design thinking responsible for amazing technology, products, and spaces can be used to design and build your career and your life, a life of fulfillment and joy, constantly creative and productive, one that always holds the possibility of surprise.

For the 2023 Mid-Year Meeting Service Activity, Beta Alpha Psi will ask that all attendee bring socks to donate to local homeless shelters.        

We ask that you bring NEW quality socks for men, women and children experiencing homelessness and drop them off at the registration area. All schools that participate will earn a Reaching Out Service Activity (ROA).

We thank you in advance for participating in this years’ service event!

Did you know?

• Socks are the #1 clothing need of those experiencing homelessness
• Socks wear out faster than any other article of clothing and are the least donated. Dirt and grime get in between the socks and the already ill-fitting shoes and friction does the rest.  Add moisture and it rapidly increases.
• Those experiencing homelessness have no way to really wash their socks.  A pair of socks might last 2-3 days if they’re lucky for they’re often walking 5-10 miles a day.
• Many know that socks are the #1 clothing need of those who find themselves homeless, but what they don’t know is that one of the main reasons a person who is homeless goes to the ER is a foot ailment.  They get blisters and sores that get infected and they often loose toes and or a foot and sometimes die.  The number one way to prevent that is clean dry socks to wear on a regular basis.  So, we are not only helping people to feel good and have comfort we are helping to keep them out of the hospital.

Milwaukee is in Milwaukee County.

Milwaukee County has the nation's lowest per-capita homeless population with the homeless count being 17 unsheltered people.

• In the whole state of Wisconsin 18,394 public school students will experience homelessness throughout a year
• In the whole state of Wisconsin 359 veterans are homeless
