The Ideas Challenge is designed to encourage students to explore entrepreneurship and foster development of an entrepreneurial mindset. The submission of a winning idea will require students to prepare a compelling application that demonstrates creative, careful, and methodical planning but it will not require a fully developed business plan. Ultimately, the Ideas Challenge will help students develop an ability to think in an entrepreneurial way and develop the competencies needed to identify and successfully implement new business ideas throughout their lifetime. Opportunities to serve as a virtual screener or in-person judge are available to faculty/staff, former students and members of the community.
