Learn From Experienced Entrepreneurs and Professionals

Free Lunch Friday at the Venture Development Center brings an enriching experience every Friday as accomplished entrepreneurs and professionals share their insights with students. Enjoy a complimentary catered lunch on a first-come, first-served basis while delving into diverse speaking topics. From invaluable advice for launching a business to mastering sales techniques and discovering your purpose, our sessions provide a unique opportunity to connect, learn, and be inspired.

The insights about their failures and successes are really important. It's good to see what they do, how they do it, and what they take from it. Even though they may have failed, it's not a failure because they learned something from the experience.
