BigIdea! Pitch Contest - judges needed
October 9 | 3-4:30 P.M. or 4-5:30 P.M.
Over 200 students will give a 90-second pitch for a new product, service, business or nonprofit.
The winner goes on to a national pitch contest, where we have advanced to the final round several times and even once placed second!
Because we have so many contestants, we need up to 50 alumni to serve as judges on Monday, October 9. You are also welcome to attend the finals on Wednesday, October 11 at 6 P.M.
If you’re willing to judge, email Jade Jensen at jmjensen@unomaha.edu.
