Whether you are seeking funding for your startup, sharing research results with colleagues, or seeking followers for your social movement, it pays to ace your written and verbal communications. This session will introduce the concepts of a business plan and pitch, show “do and don’t” examples, and offer concrete tools that you can use in college and beyond.

You do not need to be a current or aspiring entrepreneur to benefit from this session. All students, alumni, and friends are welcome to attend.
