Before participating in WDI’s M²GATE Program, University of Michigan sophomore Jackie Spryshak said she had never met anyone from Egypt. Over eight weeks this summer, Spryshak worked with and got to know her teammates from Egypt as they collaborated on their winning social enterprise project as part of the M2GATE virtual exchange program.
On Nov. 14, her Egyptian teammates will travel to Ann Arbor for a pitch competition at the Ross School of Business where they will meet for the first time. In all, 12 students from the MENA region will travel to U-M – six from Egypt and three each from Morocco and Tunisia. Four of the U-M-based students come from the Ann Arbor campus and one attends the Dearborn campus.
