Student’s Entrepreneurial Skills Shine
This summer, Victoria “Tori” Hagenlocker ’22 was awarded the Technovation Technology Award in the Senior Division for her app “RecycleRight.” Technovation is an international app/entrepreneurship competition. This year there were more than 5,400+ competitors from 60+ countries. Tori’s app submission made it through the first several rounds, and she was selected as one of five finalists. As a finalist, she had the amazing opportunity to pitch RecycleRight in front of industry professionals, and represent the United States at the Technovation World Summit.
“I am passionate about environmental preservation and see it as one of the most pressing problems facing my generation. By applying computer science and new technologies, I wanted to educate others and foster responsible and eco-friendly behaviors to improve the effectiveness of community recycling programs and to reduce the impact of waste on our environment.”
