[…]The students now have direct access to a company contact, they have the opportunity to interact with industry experts and they gain valuable feedback on their work from the employer." -Janice Rudkowski (Ryerson Instructor)
"Riipen allows the university to interact with the business community in a very effective manner. And it also allows a lot of people who are alumni of Simon Fraser to come back and sponsor a project through the Riipen platform." -Dave Thomas (SFU Instructor)
