Interested in understanding the economic revitalization of small communities? Then consider participating in the George Kozmetsky Memorial Student Challenge! This contest gives students in all majors the opportunity to form diverse student teams to create a proposal to address a community economic development issue.  Teams must apply research, creativity, and strategic thinking to a modern problem, and will compete for cash prizes totaling $15,000!

Ready to start? Then go to one of the two information sessions on September 8 and 12, or visit the website for more details.

MAJOR ≠ CAREER

Your major does not always determine your career path. Many graduates pursue careers outside their field, depending on their interests and experiences.

EXPERIENCE + DEGREE = CAREER

It’s not just your major that matters! Make yourself marketable by gaining a variety of experiences in college. Read a few inspiring stories by professionals whose experiences led to great careers.
