ABSTRACT OF COURSE'S CONTENT AND OBJECTIVES:

This Speaker Series is intended to leverage students’ knowledge to the benefit of their classmates, while enabling them the opportunity to practice their presentation skills.

1. Previous work experience on a specific project/field

2. Market insights on a specific topic/country/industry

3. An exciting topic that others will be interested to learn

4. Personal venture story

*presenters don’t necessarily need to register to STS and vice versa
