Starting the Semester!

Thanks to all for a great inaugural semester of EBCC. We are in the process of finalizing the projects for this upcoming Fall Semester cohort. 

We are hosting two events to gear up for the semester. 

Open House, Thursday, August 15, 4-6PM, Atwood 316: This is for students and staff interested in learning more about EBCC and how they can get involved. Refreshments provided. 

Kickoff, Thursday, September 5, 4-5:30PM, Atwood 360: This event is open to everybody. We will give an introduction of the club, the participating companies/PIs will speak, and those interested in joining teams will provide information. Reception will follow speakers. 

Email Erika (ecsatar [at] emory [dot] edu) with any questions. 

April Housekeeping

To begin, I want to send out a deserved congrats to everyone that has been participating in our inaugural cohort of #EBCC and for helping make this club such a success. Our idea for the club would be nothing without the hard work you have all put towards your respective projects, and of course to the PIs for their willingness to join forces with us. It will be a strong push to the finish line and for everyone to present and celebrate your achievements for the semester, but we are here to help you in whatever ways possible. Do not hesitate to reach out, and expect us to contact you to see what we can do for each of you.

Secondly, we are going to be presenting a poster to highlight our club at the upcoming Emory Innovation Showcase (April 18, 2019; http://innovate.emory.edu/). We suggest that everyone consider registering for the FREE event, because it should be very informative and a great networking opportunity with big names from Emory and the Atlanta area. This is yet another call to any of you to provide us with a testimonial (email or direct message me) about your experience with the club, and we may use it on our poster or with future marketing material (with your permission).

Additionally, if you have had positive experiences with #EBCC this year and would like to get involved in a larger role for future cohorts, please reach out to us. We are very open to discussion about potential roles within the club, and what assets you think you can bring to the club and hopefully help make it even stronger.

Lastly, we want to promote an upcoming opportunity presented by Goizueta Business School called Emory Startup Launch. Applications are currently open for this 10-week program that is designed to help early-stage startups build and test their business ideas and models. It could be a great chance to take some of the Spring 2019 projects and continue to adapt the business, or for any of you to make your own jump into the entrepreneurial pool! Check the program out and see if it is right for you, and be sure to spread the word to anyone else that may be interested.

Once again, congrats to all of our current teams for the great work that you have accomplished so far, and we look forward to being able to celebrate those successes with you at our semester-end “Gala” (April 30, 2019).
