The Business Initiatives Group (BIG) aims to cultivate meaningful relationships amongst students, alumni, and members of the greater community connected through their shared interests in business ventures. This group is aimed at students who are interested in learning some of the main tools and skills required in a successful start-up, and who are motivated to apply these tools in a real- life business initiative. Throughout the semester, students will get inspiration from distinguished on-campus speakers, participate in workshops covering the tenets of entrepreneurship, and engage in off-campus visits in the greater Philadelphia region.
