Student Comments
"HST921 was an incredible experience for me. It was an
excellent opportunity to meet face-to-face with recognized
leaders in the field who are working on really difficult
problems and willing to mentor students who are
interested in getting involved. HST921 is both an industry
overview and an entrepreneurship class in one - which
was exactly what I was looking for.”

Student Comments
“HST.921 unified business, science, and medicine with a set
of uncommon learning objectives, focused on developing
skills on how to pursue ideas and get things done in the
