The MSOE University Innovation Fellows are hosting a regional meetup to which we’re inviting fellows from other universities as well as our hometown rockstar students from other universities in and nearby Milwaukee.

During this meetup, you’ll have the opportunity to learn about and tackle social issues in Milwaukee, discover traits about yourself, and be able to sell your value as an innovator and change agent. On top of that, you’ll be inspired by some of the most influential young folks in the city, including a few of your favorite MSOE fellows!
