The registration deadline for this event has passed.
This is a chance for your EDD, BI, and Common Capstone students to work side-by-side with industry professionals as they tackle challenging problems in your class. Mentors will be able to provide expert guidance, coaching on skills, and introduce your students to helpful resources. They will also help students build their social capital and connect their learning with future careers.
