About

M²GATE was a virtual student exchange program connecting undergraduate students from North Africa and the Middle East with peers at participating universities in Michigan. Administered by the William Davidson Institute at the University of Michigan with support from the Stevens Initiative, the program aimed to foster mutual understanding and improve relations between students in the U.S. and Arab regions. The program concluded with an in-person competition where students pitched entrepreneurial ideas to a panel of judges.

I designed a 12-page Impact Report to showcase the program’s positive outcomes and highlight the institute’s role in its success. The report adhered to the institute’s branding guidelines, with a hopeful and optimistic tone reflected through thoughtful design choices. The final report was well-received by stakeholders and played a key role in securing additional opportunities with supporting partners.

The promotional poster was created for use at conference tables, aimed at demonstrating the institute’s capabilities and attracting interest in its programs. The bold and engaging design emphasized key aspects of M²GATE while maintaining brand consistency, effectively drawing attention and sparking conversations.
