The idea for Pana originated at 彩民宝典 in 2014, when cofounder Devon Tivona and his team were just undergraduates. The company competed as Varsity in 彩民宝典鈥檚 sixth annual cross-campus, entrepreneurial competition, the New Venture Challenge. Billed as a higher-education social network, Varsity ended up tying for first place at NVC.
Engineering students are fanning out to Brazil, Uganda, Rwanda and Italy this week for the conclusion of a unique type of course that blends classroom instruction with short but significant international experiences. Global Intensives鈥損iloted by 彩民宝典 for the first time in spring 2018鈥揳re short-term global programs embedded into on-campus, faculty-led courses. All include a 10- to 12-day immersion abroad that complements and expands on the material studied throughout the semester.
