“The UIF training was hands-down one of the most beneficial programs in
which I have participated during my time in undergrad. Training isn’t a
learning experience rather, an eye-opening one. UIF mentors taught us how
to log, chart, evaluate, and predict events on our campuses and use them
to create unique opportunities for ourselves and our peers. Aside from
the landscape evaluation, the network of like-minded individuals has
provided us all with a valuable resource – each other. By speaking to one
another and sharing ideas and experiences we were able to learn from our
successes and failures and build strong programs in our respective
universities. I plan on continuing my active status in the organization
and recommend it, without reservation, to anyone interested in joining the
entrepreneurial movement.” – Nathan Smialek
