�ǿմ�ý students have big ideas. Some have already formed businesses. Some are deep in research. And others are interested in being a part of the startup ecosystem.

For those students who are interested in entrepreneurship, there is no shortage of opportunities on campus. Pitch competitions, student organizations and courses are a few places to start, but for those who want a deeper dive into experiential learning, the Veale Institute for Entrepreneurship’s Tinkham Veale-Barbara R. Snyder Entrepreneurial Fellowship program (Veale Snyder Fellowship) is the place to be.

To the West Coast and abroad

Bookmarked by a trip to Silicon Valley in San Francisco, California and an international trip—last year to Barcelona, Spain and this year to Ireland—the fellowship is a place to connect with top innovators, and meet peers who share similar interests.

In an interview from November 2022, third-year computer engineering major Emmanuel Makoye described the class trip to Silicon Valley as “the most inspirational week” of his life because of the impactful takeaways that the group gathered from the influential people they interacted with. 

Word of that “life-changing” experience of the twelve students from last year must have spread through the grapevine—because this year, applications for the Veale Snyder Fellows doubled.
