Santa Cruz Sentinel has a piece today on the Pilot Project for Innovation and Entrepreneurship (PPIE) program between the City and UCSC that is helping to engage entrepreneurial minded students from UCSC with the City and its entrepreneurs, innovators and other movers and shakers.

Piece is linked below and worth the short read.

Students Give Back

Time will tell if this program is a success or not, but from having spoken with the students in the program first hand I can say their eyes and minds are starting to open to the possibility of actually staying and making a living in Santa Cruz for the first time… which is definitely the paradigm shift we’re looking to make happen here.

Congratulations to Peter Koht for getting this up off the ground!
