“IEDC is one of the clearest examples of what happens when we get out of students' way and give them room to build. Every workshop, every prototype, every late night in the lab here is preparing our students for a world that rewards people who can turn ideas into action.”
“We built IEDC CEP on a simple idea — entrepreneurship isn't a subject you study, it's a muscle you train. My job is to make sure every student who walks in with a half-formed idea walks out knowing exactly what to do with it next.”
