CITI Ventures and NexusEdge Education selected five Â鶹´«Ã½ students for the fall cohort of the CITI University Partnerships in Innovation & Discovery (CUPID) Program. Shivum Berry, Vivian Du, Chase Nortman, Mya Thanegi Soe, and Elisa Marconell Tejedor, all Â鶹´«Ã½ business students, were five of the eight students selected statewide. The CUPID Program is intended to develop a pipeline of California community college students from which to recruit for employment. The Capstone to Career project through CUPID allows students to test the waters in a real-world, experiential format and is more simplified than a formal internship process. Student teams from across the state get put into teams where they work with their CITI project managers and mentors in New York City on a 7-week project.
