It has been a bit of a rough week.  It was the end of another semester, so we had final projects to finish and exams to take.  However, the anticipation of leaving for China has made the beginning of the week extraordinarily slow!  For those of us in Entrepreneurship, we were in class Wednesday night making our final presentations – just about eight hours before we had to meet to board the bus for Logan Airport.  It was quite the night; luckily we h

This week is another lull before the storm.  Many of us skiers spent the weekend getting in some more ski days before we leave for China; the snow has been fantastic this year!  For someone who moved here from Maryland, this winter has been a dream come true.  Academically, the big event was a group project for Managerial Decision Making.  These projects were very open ended; all groups had to model a solution for a healthcare problem.

This is a very busy week.  On Monday, my teammate and I are submitting a 2-page summary of our business plan from our Entrepreneurship class into the Holloway Competition.  The competition consists of multiple stages in which members of the UNH community compete for prizes on the basis of their new ideas - examples include lifestyle products and technology products. Our submission is in the lifestyle segment, so we will see if we make it to the next round!
