Nov 6 — We're in week 4 of our 6-week Young Entrepreneurs Academy.
Many thanks to amazing facilitators who led our Business & Career Summit. The group of diverse professionals included NFL and video game industry legends, airline pilot, animator, fine artists and a MLB photo editor just returning from the World Series!
Our goal was to expose students across the region to as many different industries as we could that they may have not otherwise considered. Then allow them direct access to ask all the questions they had on their bright, inquisitive minds.
Sincerely appreciate each and everyone for making the time to make the day so memorable...
