Event Description
Workshop 1 - March 20, 8 PM (Monday)

For a two-hour session, students will identify problems to address and form a team made up of students with similar passions. The main goal of this workshop is to answer the question, “What do you need to start the venture next week?” The workshop's primary goal is to list the necessary resources, do a cost analysis, and conduct market research on a small scale.

Why not start something Good today? A venture can be impactful not only the profits it generates but also by means of socially impactful activities.
During a two-hour session, brainstorm how your experience can be socially impactful and what actions to take to develop your business. Meet Thrivent, a Fortune 500 financial service NGO to navigate how you can be a member of the Thrivent to work collaboratively to “make a difference” and “start something good.”.
