<span style="font-size:larger;">UConn works with Nerac when a student requires professional business advice. The student presents in front of an experienced panel to receive feedback on their innovative idea. This is only directed at a small portion of already established innovators and is invite only.</span>
<span style="font-size:larger;">UConn alumni also do their part giving back to the University. The TIP program allows current UConn students to get hands on experience on innovation and entrepreneurship by interning over the summer session with companies begun that were started by former UConn students.</span>
<span style="font-size:larger;">Alumni also come in periodically to give either in person or online lectures on his or her story. We hope these information sessions will be helpful in creating a generational effect among students as well as an inspiration for passionate students.</span>
