Ever wonder what entrepreneurial students do after they leave UMBC? Well, many of them go on to start their own business! Come listen to 3 alums from very different backgrounds and businesses talk about their entrepreneurial path. They’ll also talk about the challenges they’ve faced during this crazy time and how they are addressing them. Don’t miss it...you’ll learn a lot and really enjoy meeting them!
Come join us for an Entrepreneurship Discussion Panel Monday, April 11th, from 12- 1pm - Library 7th floor. UMBC Alums Mustafa Al-Adhami ‘20, Ron Callender ‘13, and Deep Patel ‘19 will be there to discuss their entrepreneurial journey upon graduating UMBC.
