Arlyne James (MechE 2T4) is founder and CEO of My Dorm Store, which she created while she was still an undergraduate student at U of T Engineering. The company, which began as an assignment in an engineering business course, has grown tremendously in just a few short years, and this fall provided services to more than 60 residences across Canada.

James spoke with Dean Yip about what she learned at U of T Engineering, and how it helped her start — and grow — her thriving business.
