Jane Drinkwater Uses Her UX Design Major to Improve Government Social Services Software
Jane Drinkwater is an inspiring example of Brigham Young University’s aim to prepare students for “lifelong learning and service.” Drinkwater, a product and user (UX) design and political science student, has a goal to increase accessibility of government programs by improving the interface of government websites. Her experiences serving as a missionary for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, volunteering in public service and pursuing a faith-centered education at BYU have shaped her path.
After months of applications, reviews and interviews, Drinkwater received a 2024 Truman Scholarship. The scholarship will support Drinkwater in a master’s degree after graduating from BYU. Drinkwater is the fourth BYU student in four consecutive years to win the Truman Scholarship, a notable achievement for the university, as few institutions have this many consecutive scholars.
