Words from our Alumni

"I am a more business-savvy, bold and critically-thinking person because of the MEITE program—and much more capable of making a large-scale, sustainable social impact." Read more about Daniel's experience.

“The flexibility in the program allowed for a well-rounded cohort that supported each other well. It also allowed for a unique tailored experience, which is really what I was looking for!”

"I did like that the program gave me an opportunity to take classes in the school of education but also in the School of Information Library Sciences, Kenan Flagler Business School, and the Computer Science Department. And I also did my internship in the Maker Spaces in the Kenan Science Library. I like how I got to pull these bits of information and experience from all these different areas of campus together in a really cool way!"

"The MEITE program taught me how to identify problems, design innovative solutions, and to iterate based on user feedback. My classes gave me real world applications in entrepreneurship, technology, and innovation so that I was able to get my feet wet with structured experiential learning. This program along with the strong incubator initiatives and innovation competitions on campus gave me plenty of outlets to apply my learning. MEITE opened the door to a world of new opportunities for me."
