Two University of Michigan students had one goal for their time in college: To make a lasting impact on the world.
I spent my high school years carefully polishing my grades and extracurricular activities so I could prepare an impressive resume package to send to colleges. When the college application period ended, however, I realized that very few of my high school “achievements” stuck with me past graduation. My high school GPA and my long list of officer positions became irrelevant to me and the job market.
I was frustrated with the academic recruitment process. I personally emailed over 50 research labs before landing my first research position. I was grateful for the research opportunity given to me, but I wanted to help others get the same experience. I found like-minded peers, Nolan Kataoka, Benjamin Bear, Akshay Rao, and Han Wang, to create Perch, which started as a student organization at the University of Michigan.
Over the years, I have come to understand how well entrepreneurship and higher education can work together to aid a student’s learning and career progression. Working on a startup is like drinking from a firehose – my team was forced to learn everything at a breakneck pace, from UX design to learning legalese. At the university, seemingly impractical classes have taught me the intangible.
