Jason Bui of Hanoi to Participate in University of Evansville Entrepreneurship Fair

2013 Feb 14

The University of Evansville is proud to announce that Marketing major Jason Bui of Hanoi, Vietnam, is one of 27 students participating in the Schroeder Family School of Business's annual entrepreneurship fair.

The fair will run from 9 a.m.-3 p.m. Friday, February 15 in the Schroeder Family School of Business Building's Bernhardt Atrium. Admission is free and open to the public.

Ten student-founded businesses will showcase their products and services at the fair as part of a two-semester curriculum in entrepreneurship, taught by UE assistant professor of management Joe Trendowski. Bui's business, Shop 'Til We Drop, offers shopping services to UE students.

During the fall semester, students enrolled in Business 269 (Fundamentals of Entrepreneurship) form a business plan and secure loans for start-up costs. In the spring, they continue their efforts in Business 270 (Experience in Entrepreneurship) by launching and marketing their businesses.

"This curriculum not only walks students through the entrepreneurship experience, but gives them a real-world, hands-on opportunity to put their academic knowledge into practice," said Trendowski. "The entrepreneurship fair is a chance for students such as Jason Bui to share their hard work with the UE campus and broader Evansville community."

The University of Evansville is a private, liberal arts-based university with a full-time undergraduate enrollment of approximately 2,400. UE's diverse student body represents 42 states and 46 countries. U.S. News & World Report recognizes UE as a top 10 master's-granting university in the Midwest, and third in the region for "Great Schools, Great Prices."
