Swarthmore and Silicon Valley

[coase]

Am I Google material? Can I make the leap from Swarthmore to Silicon Valley? Have the liberal arts prepared me to hack it, so to speak, in tech?

These questions can roil even the savviest of Swatties. Some may have a sense of what it takes to thrive in tech and strike a work-life balance in the Bay Area, whether from pop culture depictions or conversations with recruiters. But there’s really only one way to know.

Enter Swarthmore’s Center for Innovation and Leadership (CIL) which, with generous gifts from two members of the alumni community, brought 11 students to Silicon Valley over winter break for a week of experiential learning. Guided by alumni hosts, the students went behind the walls of tech giants to crack the code of a life in tech.
