2023 ‘PGN Entrepreneur’ Award Winner: Rohan Hirani
University of Illinois
Class of 2023
“When I joined PGN 7 semesters ago, I thought I was joining for the 100% job placement rate, for the esteemed corporate sponsors, and the impressive roster of alumni. But that was just the tip of the iceberg. From what I’ve seen over the past 7 semesters, new members in PGN are welcomed with open arms, and as they grow and develop, they willingly choose to give back to the next generation of new members in their meaningful ways. PGN thrives on a natural cycle of giving and receiving that has the power to transform lives, as it did for me."
-Rohan Hirani, 2023
