Students invited to submit ideas for next Kabara contest

The Kabara Institute for Entrepreneurial Studies is offering students a second chance to win the Business Idea Elevator Pitch Competition. A total of $500 in prizes will be awarded to the winners and others selected at random.

Any undergraduate SMU student of any major who has an idea for a new business should enter. This competition also gives students a chance to enhance their presentation skills and the opportunity to explore the idea of starting a business. Participants will present their business ideas on Jan. 19 at 3:30 p.m. in Saint Mary’s Room 409. After the presentation, participants will submit a written script of the short speech.

This is not a PowerPoint presentation, but rather an explanation of a business idea similar to what you would give in a 60-90 second elevator ride. Anyone interested in participating should contact Teresa Speck by Jan. 15. E-mail your name, e-mail address and the name of the business to tspeck@smumn.edu.
