Member Survey + T-shirt Sign-Up
Fill out this 5 minute survey about EVC, please. Your reward is the new t-shirt design and instructions on how to get your hands on one. For the first time in several years, we updated the design (but don't worry, it's still the softest shirt on campus). We are ordering shirts on Friday, fill out the survey now...while we still have your attention!

For our next EVC workshop, we are hosting Cognitir, a global web development training company, to teach students how to create state-of-the art websites with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript in a one-day, interactive course. Cognitir has taught this web development course at other top MBA programs. Whether you are just starting your business or already have a validated business idea, building a professional and dynamic webpage is often the first step in the journey. By the end of this beginner course, participants will have built their own webpages. EVC will provide lunch for attendees. 20 people have signed up so the workshop is happening! Sign up here. The cost is $99 (normal corporate rate is $500+!). The first 20 members to sign up get $20 off with promo code EVC@Ross. Questions? Email Joe Stamper.
The 2nd Annual EVC Week: the best time of the year!
Monday 11/14-Friday 11/18
EVC Week is our club's paramount programming series for the year: five days of EVC-related events where we invite the broader Ross/UM community to join us in exploring the entrepreneurial ecosystem. These events are intended to be relevant for ALL EVC members. You are highly encouraged to invite friends who you think might be interested from either an entrepreneurship angle or because of the industries and guest speakers we will be talking to. Check out the gorgeous flyer for EVC Week that is going to be shared with all of Ross later this week. Get it on your calendar! RSVP for each EVC Week event here. Questions? Email Holly Price or Andrew Brecher.
