Do you find yourself wondering what it’s REALLY like to start your own business while in college? Then look no further than the McFerrin Center’s Entrepreneurs EXPOSED! Featuring current student startup leaders, you will be introduced to a community of fellow Aggies that have taken the plunge and are actively building a business while also furthering their education at Texas A&M. Through these informal and intimate discussions, you can gain insights from students whose startups are tackling big problems in a variety of industries and learn from their experiences how to juggle the daily demands of being a student and an entrepreneur.
