Gustie Entrepreneur Cup
The Gustie Cup is an annual student entreprenuership competition with the chance to win $20K in prize money! Past student-led innovations range from sustainable clothing, smart-energy, virtual gambling, and more.
Students can experiment with putting innovative ideas into action at this annual Entrepreneurship Competition hosted on campus. Entrepreneurship requires critical thinking, promotes creativity and resilience, teaches how to deal with ambiguity, and allows students to learn what questions to ask, and where to look for answers.
