Make an Impact

The Shuford Innovators-in-Residence (SIIR) program was developed to bring diverse subject matter experts (Innovators) to campus who make their living making an impact. The SIIRs program is one of the many ways the Shuford Program for Entrepreneurship is making an impact at UNC-Chapel Hill. While partnering with Honors Carolina, this unique program supports Carolina alumni from all backgrounds as well as students in the College of Arts and Sciences and other colleges and schools on campus.
