Built for This
Welcome to the Built For This podcast! With a rich organizational history and a tradition of blending theory with practice, we seek to build up a world that often seems focused on tearing down. Join us as we delve into dynamic stories, engage in conversations with thought leaders, and explore how we can fit into and meaningfully engage with both present and future problems. The future might not always be crystal clear, but thanks to our innovative founder, exceptional students, impactful faculty and alumni, and perhaps even you the listener, we can boldly say: Together, we are built for this.
