Students pitch, sell, and gain real-world experience beyond the classroom<\/h2>\n

ULV College of Business undergraduate students turned Citrus Lawn, on the main campus, into a marketplace at the Integrated Business Curriculum (IBC) Mixer. The IBC program immerses students in entrepreneurship, guiding them through developing and launching companies, business plans, and marketing products, and driving sales. \u201cThis is a hands-on experience,\u201d said College of Business senator and junior Nebiyu Semunigus. \u201cThis allows our IBC students to actually have a chance to sell on campus,\u201d said co-president and senior Nicole Singer, noting the event also drew non-business majors. The mixer gave students a chance to connect with the campus community, build confidence, and gain experience that prepares them for professional careers.<\/span><\/p>\n
