University Student
What is the University Student’s role?
Entrepreneurship education and leadership skills are valuable for all university students, no matter what career you choose. The role of the university student is an integral part of the success of Business Challenge week.
University students assist a Company Advisor in guiding their assigned company (made of 10-15 high school students or educators) as they run their own simulated business. They will also write a marketing plan, tour industry sites, and meet some of North Dakota’s most influential people.
