Join the RLCIE Fellows Program

Wednesday, September 9, 2026 at 12:00 AM

The RLCIE Fellows Program prepares students to become innovative entrepreneurs through experiential learning, mentoring, and networking. We work with practicing entrepreneurs, Claremont alumni, and investors to deliver real-world content and experiences via workshops and seminars covering key topics faced by founders and joiners at innovative companies of all types and sizes. Students that successfully complete the program’s requirements earn the designation of RLCIE Fellow upon graduation. The program is open to all majors and areas of study, and to all undergraduate students at CMC, Harvey Mudd, Pomona, Pitzer, and Scripps, with a particular focus on 1st and 2nd year students. We encourage all students interested in business, tech, startups, and innovation to apply. In line with CMC’s mantra of “learn by doing,” the RLCIE takes a unique approach to students interested in joining the Fellows Program. Rather than making decisions based on an interview, all students that sign up and complete the Fellows Program workshops and pitch contest detailed below—and who are in good academic standing–will have earned their spot into the Fellows Program. Again, there isn't an application. If you'd like to start participating in the RLCIE Fellows Program onboarding process, just sign up on THIS FORM. Join an info session (Thurs 9/3, 5–6pm at CMC RN-15 • Fri 9/4, 2–3pm at CMC RN-15 • Thurs 9/10, 12–1pm on Zoom • Fri 9/11, 4–5pm on Zoom), and sign up to join by Friday, September 11 at 11:55pm. For questions, email Ron LaPierre at rlapierre@cmc.edu.
