Past Success
I believe the leadership skills that I learned made me a more competitive candidate in the workforce and helped me obtain a White House Internship right after graduation.
Jenny Alcaide, A Piece of the Dream
Joining the CUNY IVE Leadership Program was a great decision. Not only did I receive the mentorship I needed to turn our philanthropic venture into a social business, but also the high profile networking opportunities IVE provided me with the chance to meet two entrepreneurs with whom I have started working.

The online social network aspect and one-on-one mentoring for groups, as well as the accessibility of the staff all made the program even more incredible for me.

The program helped us structure our plans and really give us direction. Especially, the IBM Smart Camp event granted us the opportunity to witness seasoned entrepreneurs present their work and network with the ranks of many in the industry.
Kimberly Williams, Chief Marketing Officer of Cosiety
I attended every workshop and meeting that was offered, taking in all the information and entered the competition just so I could continue with my business idea. I am most thankful to CUNY IVE because it gave me that extra push I needed to realize the potential of my initial idea.
Delia Kim, Director of Young Governors
The roundtable events introduced me to new ideas and I have experienced the true value of networking and partnerships. I am humbled by the willingness of so many to support my vision with their time, energy and intelligence. As I continue to gain knowledge and confidence to take, the next steps I find myself reflecting on how much this once in a lifetime opportunity has made me more aware and connected to my environment, and how it has changed me for the better.

We are truly grateful to IBM and the CUNY IVE Program who have given us an opportunity to make a dream become reality. After much research and hard work, Scoocle is quickly proving to have the potential of becoming the new way transportation.
