CEAS Students, Faculty Invited to Seminar Series

Students, staff and faculty in the College of Engineering and Applied Science (CEAS) are invited to attend seminars for the John P. Ellbogen $50K Entrepreneurship Competition. The seminars begin this week and run throughout November at the University of Wyoming.

The Ellbogen Entrepreneurship Competition is designed to encourage all students, regardless of discipline, in the UW community to act on their talents, ideas, and energy to produce tomorrow's leading businesses. Many of the competitors in recent years hailed from the CEAS and include engineering, computer science and atmospheric science students.
