Arts Entrepreneurship Students Win at the Lulu eGames
Congratulations to our four Arts Entrepreneurship Minor students who were finalists for the Lulu eGames Arts Feasibility Study Challenge held on April 30th, 2012. The eGames are a yearly event organized by NC State's Entrepreneurship Initiative. Similar to a business plan competition, students from across campus complete and present a feasibility study on an arts business they plan to launch. This is the first such competition designed expressly for the arts in the nation. Again, we congratulate our Arts Entrepreneurship students as they placed first, third, fourth and fifth - all prize money recipients - and wish them success as they start their new arts businesses.
This happens only at NC State.
