Congratulations to our EVC members moving forward to the semi-finals of the Michigan Business Challenge. To read about the eight teams moving on (and the four going to Social Impact finals), check out the Zell Lurie blog. Also, if you missed last week's Center for Engineering + ZLI pitch event (where technical teams with prototyped technologies pitched their needs for business talent) and you are interested in hearing about the teams and possibly helping out, email Holly Price to get a recap.
