Radford U. Committed to Student Entrepreneurship

I had the good fortune to participate in Radford University's Entrepreneurship Workshop today and found it to be quite impressive and exactly what is needed on our local college campuses.

Led by the efforts of the Collegiate Entrepreneurs and specifically graduating senior Chris Pund, the event highlights a half-dozen regional and national speakers, including Roanoke's own Cameron Johnson.

There was an elevator pitch competition that highlighted 20 student ideas and the winners received cash prizes.

The university is also making big plans for its Center for Entrepreneurship and Economic Development (more on this in a future post).

Thanks to RU for taking the lead on this very important topic.

Would like to meet with some student leaders to discuss possible opportunity.

Thanks.
