Building Momentum

The NextProf program originated at the University of Michigan over a decade ago. Our program has expanded with other prestigious universities joining as partners. UC Berkeley and Georgia Tech have helped expand NextProf Nexus, and UC San Diego and Georgia Tech have done so with NextProf Pathfinder. This multi-institutional commitment demonstrates a long-term investment in diversifying talent in engineering academia.
