Panel: Exploring Non-Academic Career Paths: Entrepreneurship and Beyond for Graduate Students

Moderator: Laura Moix and the Office of Entrepreneurship and Innovation at the U of A

Entrepreneurship is the cornerstone of innovation and economic growth. It's not just about starting a business; it's about creating solutions, driving change and shaping the future. Join us as we engage with a panel of current graduate students and campus innovators who have used their skills to find solutions, establish their own businesses and navigate beyond academia's confines. Through entrepreneurship, individuals breathe life into their visions, foster employment and enrich communities. Whether your ambition involves launching a venture or adopting an entrepreneurial outlook, we will talk about how to recognize the transformative potential of your ideas in shaping lives and our shared world.

Registration is requested. 

Join GPSC for a wonderful conversation on entrepreneurship and feel free reach out for more information/inquiry @ GPSC President Kolade Olatunde, gpscpres@uark.edu. Please note that the GPSC assembly meeting starts immediately after this event.
