Propel
Launched in 2018, Propel provides networking, mentorship, and immersive learning experiences that promote diversity and inclusion in entrepreneurship. Full-time, female students can apply for the program, which is made possible by Katherine and Steve Elms, MBA ’92, and Heather and Andrew Zuckerman, Weinberg ’91.

"I am so honored to be part of the inspiring group of Propel Ambassadors, and I am very excited to help other female entrepreneurs reach their goals. Our trip to New York was a great reminder of how far we have come and how far we can go."

"I'm so glad to have gone on the Propel trip to NYC because not only did I get the opportunity to meet incredible alumni across many different industries, but I got a taste of what living in NYC would be like. I hope to take the knowledge and experiences I've gained on the trip and apply them through my continued entrepreneurial engagement with The Garage!"

"Through Propel, I've been able to talk to a variety of successful women alumni who shared their struggles and success stories. I am deeply inspired to create my own story and have renewed enthusiasm to work on my startup. The biggest takeaway for me was finding a group of like-minded women entrepreneurs on campus."

“I’m excited to talk with other Propellers and learn about how they have overcome the different challenges they have faced growing their companies.”

"The Propel program gave me a network of inspiring women founders at The Garage. Every time I see these women in this space I feel empowered and supported."

"It's inspiring being in a space created by women with the goal of uplifting women entrepreneurs. I've met so many amazing friends and alumni who I can learn and grow from."
