Welcome to the Summer Newsletter!
As the 2015-2016 year (quickly) came to end this past June, we can reflect back on many of our successful programs, events, and contests. The Alta Resources Center for Entrepreneurship and Innovation is officially in it's  fourth year of existence and our presence continues to grow exponentially year after year! We strive to promote the topic of entrepreneurship at UW Oshkosh to all students, faculty, and staff as innovation thrives through all departments at this prestigious institution. I can't thank you enough for your continuous support and hope you find the Summer Edition of the CEI's newsletter delightful.

After his very inspiring presentation,  four  student teams (two high school and two collegiate) had the opportunity to pitch to Daymond and receive scholarships to pursue their idea(s) even further!
