About Student Innovators
Student Innovators is a new student organization at UT Dallas with the goal of connecting students of different backgrounds in order to accomplish awesome things. We are a team of movers and shakers who back up crazy ideas with decisive action. We are big picture thinkers, big risk takers, and big problem solvers. We are social entrepreneurs, computer nerds, fitness junkies, creative designers, almost-main-stage musicians, and more.

Our organization values connection, collaboration, and community, and we believe that our strength comes from the belief that the whole is greater than the sum of its parts.
