HPJ Professor Jimmy Wilson co-sponsors Poster Competition

Friday April 3, Professor Wilson of HPJ, along with the Entrepreneurship Program sponsored a poster competition for students. Competitors designed posters that imagined new businesses or ways of changing the world for the better. Among the ideas for new businesses presented were proposals for restaurants, automotive detailing, and even a golf course for ONU. Ideas to change the world included rainfall trapping technologies to help provide drinking water in Africa, birth control methods for the developing world, and methods to recycle oil from plastic products.

Fifty contestants took part in the session including two (Michael Krummery and Sean Kazmierczak) from HPJ. Krummery earned second place in his track, and of the nine students from Dr. Wilson's GIS class, three won awards. the four first place winners (one per track) and twelve second place awards (three per track) shared $1,000 in prize money.
