Students Today

Scholar’s Tank is an entrepreneurial-themed addition to Scholars Week, where students and faculty can present an idea to improve some aspect of campus that has the potential to be turned into an entrepreneurial venture. Our campus entrepreneurs will pitch their idea to a panel of “sharks" who will decide which idea gets funded. The winner will be awarded $5,000 to take their idea from concept to concrete results. Watch your idea grow into something that has a positive impact on the university. These can be individual or group projects. The submission deadline is TODAY, April 1. For more information and to submit your ideas, click "More On This Announcement" below.
