Pop Up Shops

Each semester, the Angle Center hosts two pop-up shops, featuring student-run ventures, alumni, and local businesses. These events offer a platform for entrepreneurs to showcase their products, fostering community support and providing real-world business experience.

Entrepreneurship Club

The Entrepreneurship Club meets every Tuesday at 4 p.m. in the Angle Center, providing students with guidance and support to turn their side hustles or business ideas into income-generating ventures. Through hands-on mentorship and collaboration, the club helps aspiring entrepreneurs navigate the challenges of launching and growing their businesses.

Spark Tank is an exciting pitch competition modeled after Shark Tank, where students present their innovative business ideas for a chance to win a $10,000 first prize to fund their ventures. This dynamic event fosters creativity and entrepreneurship, providing participants with invaluable feedback from experienced judges while inspiring the next generation of business leaders to pursue their dreams.
