My favorite part of earning this minor has been building the network I have today. I've met such a wide array of individuals—different backgrounds, majors, projects, and passions. Aspiring and current entrepreneurs are a different breed; they think in terms of possibilities while others think in terms of what's already been done. I'm excited to have immersed myself in such a dynamic community.
