  Denim Days | More Info
All Day
Location: All campus
Contact: hci@rowan.edu

Join Healthy Campus Initiatives as we stand with Center for Family Services in support of Denim Day.

In 1998, an Italian Supreme Court decision overturned a rape conviction because the victim wore jeans, reasoning she must have helped her attacker remove them. Enraged by the verdict, the women in the Italian Parliament launched into action and protested by wearing jeans to the steps of the Supreme Court. Wearing jeans became an international symbol of protest against erroneous and destructive attitudes about sexual assault.

Wear denim on Fridays in April and on April 28th to show your support of survivors of sexual assault.

Elevator Pitch Competition | More Info
12:00 AM - ?
Location: Engineering Hall
Contact: Kozachyn@rowan.edu

Elevator pitch is a frequently used term, which literally means ?tell me about your business within the time that it would take to ride up an elevator.? Each year we conduct two contests -- one in the fall and one in the spring -- for students from the Entrepreneurship and Innovation course. Last year's contests involved over 150 students whose pitches were critiqued and rated by a pool of 90+ RU alumni judges. Judges give each pitch feedback on strengths and weaknesses. The 10 top-rated competitors present their two-minute business pitch before a live panel of judges on October 7. The winners are announced at the end of the event. The top three winners are sent to the National Collegiate Entrepreneurs Organization Conference located in Chicago, Illinoise. The top winner in the SPRING contest is RU's automatic entry in the national elevator pitch contest. The Fall 2011 CEO conference and pitch contest is to be held in Fort Worth, Texas. To learn more visit: http://www.c-e-o.org/blog/ceo-annual-national-conference/

NOTE:This competition is for those students enrolled in the Rowan University Entreprenuership and Innovation class (ENT 06-240) for the Fall, 2011 semester. If you would like to participate in the national competition, please visit THE CEO Elevator Pitch Competition Website for more information. If selected as a finalist, Rowan University will pay your fee to attend!

Elevator Pitch Contest - Rohrer College of Business | More Info
12:00 PM - 03:00 PM
Location: Bunce Hall, Room 107
Contact: kozachyn@rowan.edu

An elevator pitch is a brief overview of an idea for a product, service or project. The pitch is so called because it can be delivered to a potential investor in the time span of an elevator ride.

The Elevator Pitch Contest showcases the top 10 pitches. Last year's contest involved over 80 students whose pitches were reviewed by 46 alumni judges. Each competitor presented their two-minute business pitch before a live panel of judges and the winners were announced at the end of the event. The top three winners were sent to the National Collegiate Entrepreneurs Organization Conference located in different venues each year. The top winner will be our automatic entry in the national elevator pitch contest.
