Weekly Update

Happy Monday my fellow blog readers! It may be a dreary start to the week, but the nice weather will return very soon. It is a quiet week ahead for entrepreneurship, but I have a few updates and announcements to make.

Last Thursday we had a great Student Networking meeting in the Garage with Derrick Minor, Raleigh's Innovation and Entrepreneurship Manager. Minor provided the group with insightful details about his daily networking tasks and tips that help him succeed at his job. He is passionate about the program we have started on campus at the Garage, and encouraged the students to keep up the great work! Sean Maroni (Garage Assistant, Ambassador President) has done an terrific job this semester organizing these meetings on Thursday nights, please continue to attend or stop by on April 11th for the next one. These meetings are a great opportunity to visit the Garage, meet new people, and expand your entrepreneurship network beyond your everyday school group or degree focus!

There was an announcement made prior to the beginning of the meeting by Brian Iezzi about the newly founded NC State Stewards Program. A new program that is affiliated with the University Sustainability Office. The applications for the program are open to all undergraduate and graduate students at NCSU and can be found at the link at the bottom of the message. If you are interested and want to hear more about the program, feel free to contact Brian at bciezzi@ncsu.edu. In addition, there will be a longer information session for interested applicants on Tuesday, March 26th at 8 PM in Poe 120. http://sustainability.ncsu.edu/nc-state-stewards

Have a great rest of your week! G
