Subject : Horizons Fellowship Opportunity for CC Students

Abstract :

Please see longer message for information on the Horizons Fellowship 
from Abhi Ramesh (ARamesh@Wharton.upenn.edu), www.joinhorizons.com. If 
interested, please connect directly to the program via the program 
link (above) or by emailing Abhi Ramesh directly.  

Full Message :

Past Horizonites have come from schools like Harvard, Princeton, 
UPenn/Wharton, Columbia, and more. We've had engineers, business students, 
liberal arts majors and designers take our program - they've gone on to 
receive product management, engineering, and venture capital offers from firms 
such as Google, Zappos.com, Yelp, Optimizely, Redfin, Insight Venture 
Partners, and Slack. Others are winning global hackathons and building their 
own startup ideas. 

Over the coming year we'll be expanding our programs and giving even more 
students the superpower of coding and technology. 

Once again, I would be thrilled and honored if you could forward out this 
opportunity to interested students in your department. Our programs are open 
to students of any year and any major - we encourage candidates with diverse 
backgrounds and interests to apply! 

Thank you,

Optimizely engineers alongside PhD candidates in computer science, is designed 
to teach students how to build web, mobile, and desktop applications. 

Horizons students have gone on to receive offers from firms such as Google, 
Slack, Yelp, Amazon, BCG, Visa, J.P. Morgan, and more 

Our Horizons Speaker Series brings in successful founders, investors, and

industry's foremost experts. We have had some amazing speakers like the

more. 

Past Horizonites have come from a variety of schools and backgrounds. Students
