Business students pitch their ideas at the McEwen Entrepreneurship Fair
McEwen Leadership Program students showcased their entrepreneurial spirit at the Entrepreneurship Fair before the holiday break. They pitched their business venture ideas to students, staff, and a panel of guest judges.
During the entrepreneurship unit of the course, the students developed a complete business plan for their entrepreneurial venture. They used a business plan template, in addition to the resources and lessons provided in class, to create their business plan. The business plans included information regarding the venture’s marketing strategy, financial projections, operating strategy, and resource management. At the Entrepreneurship Fair, the students ‘pitched’ their entrepreneurial idea to the attendees as they circulated to each student display booth. Fair attendees included SAC students, staff, as well as a panel of guest judges.
