Kristie Dickinson ’14: Back at BC for a “mini dream come true”

Meet Kristie Dickinson ’14, former Apple Watch team lead who’s back at Boston College to teach Design Thinking, the first BC course of its kind. We caught up with the newly minted adjunct professor and Shea Center Entrepreneur in Residence to get her thoughts on teaching, developing an entrepreneurial mindset, and why she counts UX design, TechTrek, and her third-grade teacher among her greatest inspirations.

STUDENT SPOTLIGHT

Jenna Steichen ’21 & Grace Kilroy ’21: Thinking creatively on the fly

Jenna Steichen ’21 & Grace Kilroy ’21: Thinking creatively on the fly

Jenna Steichen ’21 and Grace Kilroy ’21 love an ethical challenge–so much so that they took one in each of the past two years. In 2018, Steichen and Kilroy competed in and won BC’s Klein Ethics Case Competition. That win qualified the pair for the University of Arizona’s 2019 Eller Ethics Case Competition and a bigger challenge than they ever imagined: rebuilding Boeing after the crash of two 737 Max jets.

Elyse Bush ’16: Giving a platform to marginalized workers

When Elyse Bush ’16 graduated, she wasn’t sure what she’d do next, but she knew it would be “in the realm of social entrepreneurship.” A little over two years and two jobs later, she launched Justus, an online platform giving voice to the most underrepresented members of the workforce.

Kelsey Renda on Growing@Shea

Entrepreneurial growth happens like any growth–at times deliberately, often serendipitously, and usually in ways you’d never expect. Kelsey Renda ’12 knows the ebbs and flows and twists and turns of entrepreneurial life firsthand. As the Shea Center’s assistant director for the past five years, she and the campus startup hub have literally grown up together.
