How to be a Campus CEO

TODAY at 6 pm (Dinner provided!)

Rocky 003

Panel Speakers: Riley Ennis and Gary Le
Moderators: Dexter Zhuang & Noah Bond 

Balancing school, sports and a social life is hard enough, but on top of that running a company seems impossible.  Come hear from two campus CEOs about how to get your own ideas up and running and turn your post-it-note ideas into a million dollar business and still remain in school. This panel will be a relaxed discussion over some dinner, so feel free to join in if you’re curious!
