“I recently received a product management internship at a startup. I just started two weeks ago and so far, it's been really fun and exciting because of the different projects I get to work on! Alongside that, I also participated in Product Hacks and won first place! … if it weren't for the product bootcamp and all of [the Epicenter’s] help, I would not be where I am today.”

“I was amazed at every meeting of the amount of professionalism; the premium quality of the speakers, health experts, and coaches; as well as how much I could learn in such a short amount of time. Most of all I was amazed at the passion that you can instill in students through this program. It was truly an amazing experience that has opened my eyes to the possibilities that tech offers, and this experience will definitely alter what I look to do in the professional world.”

“The resources and the amount of guest speakers was impressive and very informative. I appreciate how well the program came together and provided a microcosm of what I imagine the tech industry & startups to look like. My team coach was amazing. He asked our team poignant questions, and gave us amazing feedback and connections.”

“I was able to talk about the bootcamp in many of my interviews and definitely could not have landed the role without that experience. Thank you so much for all your help and thinking of me for the internship opportunity. I appreciate your time and the effort you put in to make the bootcamp so rewarding!”

“The bootcamp made such a large impact on my junior year at UCLA and I couldn't wait to help provide that same impact to countless other students. The meetings were something I looked forward to every week; I loved being able to listen, share my input, and also learn a bit about project planning! … Overall, it was such a great experience and I'm definitely glad that I, along with the other students, were able to voice our input and help shape the program for future students.”

I just wanted to reach out and thank you once again for giving me the opportunity to participate last Spring. I just got an offer for a job I was really hoping for, and my experience with the Bootcamp you coordinated really made a difference in helping me stand out!! My interviewers were super interested in the Challenge and the skills I picked up by participating, so it was a key topic during the interview process. It would not have been possible for me to learn so much and have such a valuable experience to not only put on my resume but speak about during my interviews without your coordination and hard work in setting it up and giving me the chance to join.

I just wanted to give a belated thank you for all your help and guidance throughout the project this quarter; we couldn’t have done it without you! Also, I really appreciate what this program is doing and how you’re such an advocate for us students. Thank you again!
