We are thrilled to welcome students back to campus, reinvigorated and ready to embrace the exciting opportunities this fall semester has in store. This year marks a significant milestone as we welcome the largest freshman class majoring in entrepreneurship to date!
To kick off the semester, the Rowan Center for Innovation & Entrepreneurship (RCIE) hosted the Venture Valley Collegiate Cup, where students showcased their entrepreneurial spirit and financial expertise. Thanks to the generous support from the Singleton Foundation, students had the chance to win prizes of up to $6,000 while immersing themselves in the world of Venture Valley and honing their entrepreneurial and financial literacy skills.
Looking ahead, RCIE has an exciting lineup of over 65 curated events and workshops scheduled this fall. These offerings are designed to provide students with opportunities to foster connections, engage in networking, significantly expand their knowledge horizons, and cultivate their businesses. Check out StartupTree for the latest updates, event happenings, and upcoming competition applications.
