Clinton Global Initiative University and Verizon Provide Opportunities for Students

Verizon and the Clinton Global Initiative University (CGI U) have partnered to support college and university students in creating innovative, sustainable enterprises that address pressing social challenges through technology. Student leaders and social innovators from universities around the world are encouraged to apply to the CGI U 2021 program which gives students access to "a social impact curriculum, high-touch mentorship, seed funding opportunities, and an invitation to a virtual summit in partnership with Howard University".

Within this year's cohort at CGI U, Verizon will be launching an innovation challenge, whose finalists will gain access to a summer accelerator program and have the opportunity to pitch for seed funding.

The deadline for students to apply to CGI U 2021 is January 15, 2021. Details of the Verizon Innovation Challenge will be released in early 2021 to students in the cohort and alumni.

Please see attachments for details and contact Yenal Kucuker (ykucuker@monroecc.edu) with any questions.
