UNC MEITE

Last week, four of our AWESOME students travelled to San Diego for the ASU + GSV Conference🤩

While there, they learned from edtech industry leaders and had the extraordinary opportunity to network with professionals and other graduate students. 🌐

They even met up with MEITE alum Ogugua Nwaezeigwe who pitched her AMAZING startup, Thingmabob, Inc., and took home $50,000! 🏆

Congratulations to OG, and shoutout to our former and current students, Kaitlyn Barker, Matthew Zuniga, Ruka Osoba, and Rich Gilliam for representing our program so well! 🐏🩵

Recapping one final 2025 milestone before we kick off our next semester: The MEITE Internship Digital Poster Presentations! 🚀

To close out last semester, students participated in a digital poster session to showcase their internship journeys and present their work to peers, internship supervisors, and friends. It was a chance to celebrate our students’ hard work while outlining their visions for 2026.✨

We are so proud of the innovation and leadership displayed by this cohort.

Spring 2026, here we come! 📚
