Rich Anand

I am a 21 year old college student.

I have made it an obligation to reduce the skill disconnect that employers and students currently face. It is up to us to make colleges relevant for EVERYONE again.

I am fascinated with the functionality of the human brain. I have made it a priority to understand and comprehend the basis of the complex organ and its complex system.

One constant between my two different scopes: Tech Research & Development. My current obligation as one of the founding members of University Beyond is comprised of thorough insight and analysis into the collegiate work experience market, both current tech landscape and market potential, followed by utilization of such knowledge into our own company to maximize the benefit for all parties involved. Throughout my collegiate and high school years, I have participated in many labs, from Penn State Biofuel Lab to University of Pittsburgh Center for Vaccine Research, focusing on data analysis and future implications of the data obtained. Between education/recruiting and the human brain, I have acknowledged the importance of technology. Through self-taught mechanisms, I have gained a useful understanding of its intricacies and future relevance.

I am a leader. I will continue my pursuit to gain knowledge through study of past success and present experience. Everything I acquire, I want to employ in a unique fashion that will help me accomplish what I have set out to achieve.

Further, I'm an avid sports fan and a thorough believer in what my background photo represents. In books and reading, there are truths that are undeniable. Knowledge - when put to use - is the ultimate power.
