You guys can help us learn new things about the problems.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Students will work with the city as part of the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.utc.edu\/honors-college\/innovations-honors\/innovation-labs\">UTC Honors College Innovation Labs<\/a><\/strong><strong>:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Dr. Drew Bailey, UC Foundation professor and program coordinator for the Sport, Outdoor Recreation and Tourism Management program in the Department of Health and Human Performance, will focus on the effort to have Chattanooga recognized as a National Park City.<\/li>\n<li>Dr. Karissa Peyer, UC Foundation associate professor in the Department of Health and Human Performance, will focus on highlighting the health benefits of physical activity and linking Chattanooga residents to physical activity support in their neighborhoods.<\/li>\n<li>Dr. Chris Acuff, UC Foundation assistant professor of public administration in the Department of Political Science and Public Service, will focus on developing policy recommendations for affordable housing in Chattanooga.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\u201cOne of the roles of the University is to be a talent importer, to bring students in here, connect you to this community, connect you to the issues, problems and opportunities, and to get you to contribute back. Think of Chattanooga as your future,\u201d Angle told the students.<\/p>\n<p>Kelly said the idea some have that government only gets in the way of progress is wrong, but success takes cooperation from people across the city. Yes, Chattanooga has problems, he said, but they aren\u2019t impossible to address.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s not so big that people just sort throw up their hands and think, \u2018Oh well, it doesn\u2019t matter. We can\u2019t do anything about it.\u2019 You can. There are a lot of interesting problems that we can solve together,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>For the students, the collaboration between UTC and the city is a chance to work on real-world issues that need \u201ccritical thinking, empathetic, research and problem-solving skills,\u201d Frost said.<\/p>\n<p>She said they will learn from their successes and\u2014just as crucial\u2014their failures.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey will come away from their Innovation Labs with excellent stories to tell, not just about what worked and what they got right but, more importantly, what\u00a0didn\u2019t<em>\u00a0<\/em>work and how they responded to and addressed those failures, turning them into successes,\u201d Frost said.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_52917\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" ><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1280\" height=\"883\" data-attachment-id=\"52917\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/blogarchive.utc.edu\/news\/2023\/08\/utc-honors-college-collaborates-with-chattanooga-on-innovative-solutions-to-citywide-problems\/city-partnership-23\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/blogarchive.utc.edu\/news\/files\/2023\/08\/City-Partnership-23-3233.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"1280,883\" data-comments-opened=\"0\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;7.1&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;Angela Foster\/University of Tenn&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;NIKON Z 6_2&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;Innovation partnership with City of Chattanooga, Saturday, Aug. 19, 2023 in Guerry Center. \\r\\rLeft to right:\\rDrew Bailey, interim Innovation Honors faculty lead and lab instructor, Karissa Peyer, Innovation Lab instructor, Linda Frost, Honors College Dean, Chris Acuff, Innovation Lab instructor, Chancellor Steven Angle, Mayor Tim Kelly, Steve Wilson, Director of Innovation and Special Projects for the city of Chattanooga, and Tim Moreland, Administrator of Innovation Delivery and Performance.&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1678458835&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;24&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;3200&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.01&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;City Partnership-23&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"City Partnership-23\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;Innovation partnership with City of Chattanooga, Saturday, Aug. 19, 2023 in Guerry Center. &lt;\/p&gt;\n&lt;p&gt;Left to right:&lt;br \/&gt;\nDrew Bailey, interim Innovation Honors faculty lead and lab instructor, Karissa Peyer, Innovation Lab instructor, Linda Frost, Honors College Dean, Chris Acuff, Innovation Lab instructor, Chancellor Steven Angle, Mayor Tim Kelly, Steve Wilson, Director of Innovation and Special Projects for the city of Chattanooga, and Tim Moreland, Administrator of Innovation Delivery and Performance.&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/blogarchive.utc.edu\/news\/files\/2023\/08\/City-Partnership-23-3233-1024x706.jpg\" class=\"wp-image-52917 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/blogarchive.utc.edu\/news\/files\/2023\/08\/City-Partnership-23-3233.jpg\" alt=\"From left: Drew Bailey, interim Innovations in Honors faculty lead and lab instructor; Karissa Peyer, Innovation Lab instructor; Linda Frost, dean of the Honors College; Chris Acuff, Innovation Lab instructor; Chancellor Steven Angle; Mayor Tim Kelly; Steve Wilson, director of Innovation and Special Projects for the city of Chattanooga; and Tim Moreland, administrator of Innovation Delivery and Performance.\" style=\"max-width: 100%;\"style=\"max-width: 100%;\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogarchive.utc.edu\/news\/files\/2023\/08\/City-Partnership-23-3233.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/blogarchive.utc.edu\/news\/files\/2023\/08\/City-Partnership-23-3233-1024x706.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blogarchive.utc.edu\/news\/files\/2023\/08\/City-Partnership-23-3233-768x530.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blogarchive.utc.edu\/news\/files\/2023\/08\/City-Partnership-23-3233-580x400.jpg 580w, https:\/\/blogarchive.utc.edu\/news\/files\/2023\/08\/City-Partnership-23-3233-610x421.jpg 610w, https:\/\/blogarchive.utc.edu\/news\/files\/2023\/08\/City-Partnership-23-3233-1536x1060.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/blogarchive.utc.edu\/news\/files\/2023\/08\/City-Partnership-23-3233-2048x1413.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" \/><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">From left: Drew Bailey, interim Innovations in Honors faculty lead and lab instructor; Karissa Peyer, Innovation Lab instructor; Linda Frost, dean of the Honors College; Chris Acuff, Innovation Lab instructor; Chancellor Steven Angle; Mayor Tim Kelly; Steve Wilson, director of Innovation and Special Projects for the city of Chattanooga; and Tim Moreland, administrator of Innovation Delivery and Performance.<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The University of Tennessee at Chattanooga Honors College is joining forces with the city of Chattanooga to find new and better ways to solve some of the city\u2019s problems.
