Media Coverage
PRIME-US values dissemination of our work through many different media and creative outlets. Here we share the work of our students and leadership team. Some of this work has been done with the direct support of PRIME-US. Other work has been done independently but always with the recognition and intention to honor the PRIME-US mission. Sharing our discoveries, experiences, and innovations expands the impact of PRIME-US and helps our PRIME-US community grow.
