The Path of Innovation was created as an homage to both the little and the big thinking that has changed our world and informed our way of life. This tribute to inventive thinking strikes a path to Dempsey Hall—the latest addition to the Foster School of Business on the University of Washington campus—while quietly reminding students to view the commonplace through a new lens. In the center of the path sits a reminder from innovator Steve Jobs to embrace change as opportunity.
