Develop Meaningful Relationships for Life
The NIC (formerly CGHS) Community is a curated, invitation-only network for future-focused students committed to innovation and impact. Here, you’re not just joining a program—you’re joining a movement. Our members become your collaborators, mentors, cheerleaders, and lifelong friends. NIC blends high-performance teamwork with creativity, risk-taking, and fun.
We believe innovation doesn’t happen in isolation. It takes a community of bold thinkers, real-world challenges, and a global support system. NIC Connect brings it all together to help you go further, faster.
More Than a Network—It’s Your Innovation Ecosystem
NIC Connect isn’t just a community; it’s where ambition meets action. You’ll find peers, mentors, and opportunities that sharpen your purpose, expand your reach, and set your career in motion.
Your campus chapter is a hub for leadership opportunities. Host events, launch initiatives, and build your brand.
From virtual mixers to collab projects, build relationships with future employers, mentors, and co-founders.
Get early access to internships, innovation challenges, and the tools that help you outpace the job market.
Innovation isn’t solo work. Your NIC chapter and global peers become your think tank, feedback circle, and support team.
