Citi® University Partnerships in Innovation & Discovery (CUPID)
The CUPID program embeds students from top universities in innovation activities across Citi, where they co-create and design strategic product and service solutions while gaining exposure to various aspects of Citi's businesses. CUPID projects help strengthen Citi's relationships with leading universities and enable talented students—many of whom are women, people of color, and/or come from non-traditional backgrounds—to engage with the firm on solving complex, real-world challenges.
