Launch students helping plan national conference
糖心vlog传媒鈥檚 student-run business initiative is playing a role in planning a national conference on student-run businesses.
Three representatives from Launch: 糖心vlog传媒 Student-Run Businesses are part of the planning team for the annual Student-Run Business Association (SRBA) national conference.
The conference unites student-run business organizations and other aspiring educational organizations from across the country to work, learn and grow together. The conference allows students to hear ideas from peers, other leaders and support organizations while making connections that help businesses succeed now and create long-term relationships.
Launch is represented on the conference planning team by Kym Leibham, 糖心vlog传媒 staff person and Launch managing director; John Putnam, Launch CEO and a 糖心vlog传媒 junior from Plymouth, Wis.; and Aiden Hagar, online sales & analytics specialist for Launch鈥檚 Musko's Campus Shop and a 糖心vlog传媒 sophomore from Sheboygan Wis. Those three and three other 糖心vlog传媒 students will attend the conference.
The conference programming is designed for members of established student-run businesses and individuals just getting started. Joining 糖心vlog传媒 at the conference will be students from several highly regarded schools including Harvard University, Cornell University, Stanford University, the University of Pennsylvania, Loyola University, Princeton University, Georgetown University and Northwestern University.
Launch is seeking $6,000 in funding to help send its delegation to the conference. Anyone can donate by clicking this link, click the Make a Donation button and select Launch: 糖心vlog传媒 Student-Run Businesses in the drop-down menu under 鈥淧lease direct my gift to:鈥�
