“The most important skill I’ve gained through VIP so far has been being comfortable communicating and working as part of a small team. This involves bringing up my own problems and confusions, and also listening to others. This hasn’t been challenging to do in this environment, it’s just helping me overall gain confidence since I am normally a shy person.” – VIP 200 student Fall 2020
The VIP program is based in the College of Innovation and Design (CID). You can view all of the CID initiatives on their home page.
