2021 Fellows

"Applying to the program is one of the best decisions I ever made! When I discovered my passion for product design about a year ago, I had limited exposure and mentorship in the field. Through IAC, I acquired an amazing internship at Vivian Health to explore several aspects in design! From strengthening my skills in UX/UI and visual design, to taking ownership of projects with real impact, I became more confident in my capabilities as a designer through a supportive network that continues to inspire me every day. My experience as an IAC Fellow has been so fulfilling, from all the learning opportunities to fun events. I can't express how thankful I am for this amazing opportunity!" - Kristy

“I have been part of the IAC Fellows Program since its inception in the summer of 2019. I started off in a STEM position at Vimeo. I soon realized that my passions lay elsewhere and, luckily, IAC allowed me to explore other interests. My second summer with IAC, I explored my interests in Marketing. Eventually, with the help and guidance of my IAC mentor, I was able to land a role in Government Relations for my third summer with IAC. This is the field that I see myself pursuing in the future. IAC allowed me to experience all of these positions and find what suits me best. Life changing.” - Jery
