President’s Office of Science and Technology Policy Interviews Innovation Fellow

When Bre Przestrzelski was named an National Science Foundation University Innovation Fellow in 2013, she may not have imagined that one year later she would be interviewed by the President’s Office of Science and Technology Policy in honor of National Entrepreneurship Month.

The office conducted interviews with some of last year’s Fellows in conjunction with President Barack Obama’s proclamation: “This month, we recognize the grit and determination of American inventors and innovators and their many contributions to our Nation, and we reaffirm our commitment to support these entrepreneurs as they develop the products, services, and ideas of tomorrow.” 

Among her many activities as a  change agent, Bre co-hosted  the National Science Foundation University Innovation Fellows Southeastern Regional Meetup  October 3-4, 2014.  Designed to narrow the gap between skills acquired at college and those needed by the nation’s employers, the meetup included workshops and experiences to equip students with entrepreneurial skills.

Bre is mentored by Dr. John DesJardins.
