Each week students have the chance to connect with entrepreneurs at the Distinguished Entrepreneurs Lunch Program hosted by the Weinert Center. The program brings accomplished entrepreneurs to share their journey in an approachable environment that encourages networking, learning, and idea exploration.
Students from all disciplines are encouraged to attend, seek advice, and ask questions. We graciously thank Neider & Boucher, S.C. for their sponsorship and support of the Distinguished Entrepreneurs Lunch Program!
During the fall semester we heard from 14 entrepreneurs representing all kinds of industries including aerospace, MedTech, personal care, clothing, coding, and more. We were pleased that over 350 students participated in the lunch program during the fall semester with several students attending the majority of the presentations. Students heard firsthand how entrepreneurs grow their businesses and how they evaluate opportunities. We are grateful to all of our featured entrepreneurs who volunteered their time and shared their valuable experiences with students this semester.
