Alumni Stories: What Happens After SIP

Every student in the Social Innovators Program picks a problem they care about and spends twelve weeks working to solve it by taking real action in the world. In this series, our alumni share what happened next: the apps, courses, clubs, and nonprofits they built, the ideas that didn't work, and what they'd tell a student thinking about applying.
