Leadership Team

The Leadership Team

All of Prairiefire's mentors have come from positions requiring knowledge sharing, leading professional and student teams, and meeting time sensitive industrial solutions. We think you will be impressed with both our technical ability to solve your industrial problem, and our ability to teach your future staff through our Intern Hosting program. Please feel free to contact us with any questions about our service offerings, or student on campus internship programs at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign.

Our Intern Hosting Program Mentors support Prairiefire in addition to their other activities.
