Each year, Yale SOM students get the chance to choose from among a variety of Global Network Weeks around the world, deciding which of the mini-courses fits their career goals and interests. Hannah Grill ’17 and Alex Bigler ’17 asked a different question: what if Yale SOM’s student-run Design and Innovation Club, which has been creating increasingly ambitious programming for fellow students at Yale, could expand its impact by creating its own Global Network Week?
“It’s been a strategic goal for the Design and Innovation Club for the last couple of years and the challenge was actually to pitch it, design it, and implement it,” Bigler said.
