'Berg Holds Second Annual Entreprenurial Studies Innovation Challenge

The third annual Muhlenberg College Entrepreneurial Studies Innovation Challenge will be held on April 24 from 6:15 – 8:00 p.m. in Seegers Union Room 113

 Tuesday, April 24, 2012 09:58 AM

The Office of Entrepreneurial Studies invited all current Muhlenberg students to develop and submit a comprehensive plan for an original, innovative idea that solves a current social or market problem or fills a gap in the marketplace.  Any significant social issue or market opportunity can be addressed in this competition.  Individuals and/or teams will compete for a chance to win "seed money" to help get their ideas off the ground. 

Join judges: Cathy Bernard P'15, President of HCM Corporation and Member of Parents Council; Linda Freedman, Owner of Advanta Strategies in Allentown; Matt Tuerk, Assistant Director of the Allentown Economic Development Corporation; and Mark Margulies '14, winner of last year's Innovation Challenge. Students competing this year include sophomores, juniors and seniors, and representatives from business, finance, psychology and sustainability studies.
