In October, 13 ������Ƶ students joined students from Duke University, the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, North Carolina State University and North Carolina Central University at College Night at the American Underground, a Google for Entrepreneurs Tech-Hub home to 200-plus start-ups.

The students had the opportunity to connect with possible internship opportunities and learn more about local start-ups in an impressive innovative space in Downtown Durham. “It was fulfilling to see actual start-ups use the concepts taught in ������Ƶ’s Department of Entrepreneurship to create innovative products within a cutting-edge tech hub,” said Austin Pederson, a senior entrepreneurship major.

Another beneficial aspect of the event was the chance to network with local entrepreneurs, as well as students from four other colleges.

“This event was a great way to not only network with companies, but also with other college students with similar interests as myself,” said Kristina Grigos, a first-year management major. “It was great to listen to other people’s ideas and share my own.”
