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
