Taylor Center for Social Innovation and Design Thinking

The Phyllis M. Taylor Center for Social Innovation and Design Thinking cultivates a diverse network of Changemakers who are working and learning together to create a more just and equitable society.

Taylor envisions a powerfully connected network of Changemakers who support and learn from each other as they work to create lasting positive social change in their communities.

RESPECT: We are committed to equity and recognize humility and empathy as cornerstones of effective and ethical engagement with others

CONNECTION: We see innovation as a social act that is grounded in the relationships between people across difference.

LEARNING: We practice persistent curiosity and recognize that everyone has knowledge to gain and share.

CREATIVITY: We are committed to being open and at times uncomfortable as we seek out the unexpected in imagining a better world.
