While in college in 2006 and 2007 I planned, set up, and held the first event on the Radford campus for student entrepreneurs – The Entrepreneurial Summit. It was a great success bringing in speakers like Cameron Johnson and Michael Simmons, among many alumni and local business leaders. Below is a an excerpt from the press release prior to the event as well as a link to the full thing.
RADFORD – Radford University will host an Entrepreneurial Summit on Wednesday, Oct. 10, in conjunction with the SunTrust Distinguished Speaker Series, RU Collegiate Entrepreneurs, RU Club Programming Committee, RU College of Business and Economics and Dynamic Systems Integration.
The conference is the first of its kind at RU, providing the community and students the opportunity to learn more about the exciting endeavor of starting a business. The summit was created and planned by RU student Christopher Pund, a business management and media studies major from Ellicott City, Md. With a website development business and an eBay company already under his direction, Pund is a natural advocate of entrepreneurship.
