The Phyllis M. Taylor Center for Social Innovation and Design Thinking celebrated its five-year anniversary at the center’s headquarters on the fourth floor of Tulane University’s Howard-Tilton Memorial Library on Nov. 13.

The Taylor Center helps students engage in positive social change by offering programs that facilitate design thinking, social entrepreneurship and social innovation. A $15 million gift from Phyllis M. Taylor, member of the Board of Tulane and a Tulane Law alumna, and the Patrick F. Taylor Foundation contributed to the creation of the Taylor Center in 2014.
