McKelvey Build Fellowship

The McKelvey Build Fellowship is a student run group for WashU undergrads desiring to pursue career at STEM companies or as startup founders. We hope to help fellows receive access to alumni, mentors, and events helping them to achieve the most they can during school and after.


* The term “fellowship” in our group’s name refers to a community of students sharing camaraderie and common goals.
** Please note that our group is in the process to become WUGO recognized next semester

Fellowship Benefits

Over the course of a fellow's time in college, they will be paired with an undergraduate and early career mentor, attend Fellow events aimed at developing technical/entrepreneurial acumen, and have the opportunity to contribute to impactful projects to help make recruiting easier for all WashU students.
