Our first Innovation Roundtable is this week, with guest Phil Ponella!
Innovation never sleeps! With COVID-19, our lives have changed and we find ourselves performing, communicating, creating and innovating in dramatically different ways. To keep up with these changes, the Office of Entrepreneurship and Career Development is hosting a FRIDAY ROUNDTABLE each week at Noon, an opportunity for all of us to check in, learn from each other, and share tips on emerging trends.
FIRST MEETING:
