From Student to Entrepreneur: Taking an Alternative Path/ Building your own Career

Speaker

Abstract

Starting a business as a student isn't as scary as it seems. In fact, as a student you have access to variety of incubators, business plan mentors, competitions, and ventures that you would not have access to after graduation. There was certainly a time when mixing business with science was frowned upon, but in today's world, having experience with a business or start up can add a lot of value to your resume.

As someone who took the plunge, I want to share with you the variety of opportunities around you, so that if you want to take that first step and start a business, you know where to begin.
