To the West Coast and abroad
Bookmarked by a trip to Silicon Valley in San Francisco, California and an international trip—last year to Barcelona, Spain and this year to Ireland—the fellowship is a place to connect with top innovators, and meet peers who share similar interests.
In an interview from November 2022, third-year computer engineering major Emmanuel Makoye described the class trip to Silicon Valley as “the most inspirational week” of his life because of the impactful takeaways that the group gathered from the influential people they interacted with.
Word of that “life-changing” experience of the twelve students from last year must have spread through the grapevine—because this year, applications for the Veale Snyder Fellows doubled.

Many imagine Silicon Valley as being a mecca of technology, a premier global innovation hub and an enthralling place to work.
Veale Snyder Fellows enrolled in Case Western Reserve University’s VEAL 333: Global Technology Leadership course had the opportunity to visit Silicon Valley and many of its top companies from October 23-25, 2022.
