Join the ENTI Student Ambassadors and other students in Penn State's entrepreneurial community for food, games, networking, and more!

The event is casual and held in a drop-in style. Learn about all the amazing entrepreneurship resources Penn State has for their students in a stress-free environment. If you are a student interested in entrepreneurship, this event is a perfect way for you to start getting involved.

Students that complete the four items on the check list may enter to win a drawing for cool merch.  And all students will be asked to sign in upon entry.  This allows us to provide your profs with proof of attendance if you are attending for a class.
