  • Gain talent at networking events and job fairs

Together, we can build a better future with and for each other.

Grand Challenges and Industry Partners

The Grand Challenges Initiative is an interdisciplinary, student-driven part of every science and engineering student’s curriculum that allows them to tackle issues that fascinate and perplex us, building critical research skills over a two-year timeline.

Your partnership with GCI can inspire our students and their research through:

  • External team mentors
  • Grand challenge topic proposals
  • Guest speakers
  • Poster session/pitch session judges

“The Grand Challenges Initiative is preparing me for my future career. It gives a lot more hands-on experience -- it’s one of the best ways that we can learn because it is comparable to what we’ll do in the workplace.”
