Graham Program Mission:

The Graham Collaborative Innovation Fellows create, lead, and participate in opportunities throughout their college experiences that make a difference—to you and to others. 

Parts of the program that have been extremely meaningful to me:

• The sense of getting to know people

  • While this has been a late goal of mine, I have started to get to know some people in the program. It has been really nice to get to know them a bit more, and I regret it taking so long for me to get the courage to get to know people a bit more.

• UNBOUND

  • While this is more of the scholars community as a whole, I really enjoy this part of the program as it helped me not only gain valuable skills, but also helped me connect with individuals on a more personal level

• Global Travel

  • This was a HUGE experience for me, and something that has been one of my more meaningful experiences during my time at YCP. Throughout this experience, I learned a lot about myself including that my lack of confidence in any given scenario or my thinking that I am unable to do something is purely within my own head. This was a major realization that I had gained as a result of this experience.

• Networking

  • Through this program in its various iterations, I have had the ability to network with many people that I would not have gotten to know otherwise. These people range from industry professionals, to professors, to college administration. All of these connections I have a good working relationship with.
