What’s New for 2026-2027?
This year, Make It Happen is moving to a new cohort model!
Students will come together each month for in-person working sessions where they can work on their projects, connect with other student leaders, share ideas, and learn from one another.
Students will also receive individual planning and support meetings with their project mentor throughout the program. These meetings will be scheduled based on each student's project needs and availability and can take place virtually or in person.
