We are a multidisciplinary and multigenerational team working on several different projects. The common threads between these projects are designing for human connection and social change. The ORBIT Labs are divided into smaller teams working on specific parts of each project. We meet together regularly as a larger group to give each other feedback, help one another, and check in on progress. The faculty lead for the ORBIT Labs is Stamps Associate Professor Kelly M. Murdoch-Kitt. Her research partner, Dr. Denielle Emans, teaches at Roger Williams University.

The mission of Thrive Scholars is to help high-achieving, underrepresented students from economically disadvantaged communities get into and graduate from top colleges equipped to achieve their full career potential. During my time with Thrive, I have: -- Led a small team in designing an ecologically conscious service and presenting our idea to Google employees during a capstone weekend -- Utilized career resources during summer academies to exacerbate my professional development -- Strengthened my experience with case interviews and analysis by joining the internal consulting club

The Citadel Summer Externship is a rigorous skill-building program designed to develop the next generation in finance. In partnership with Thrive Scholars, we are thrilled to support these high-achieving students as they learn and grow.
