Upcoming Pitch Competitions at NJCU Breathing New Life to Jersey City
The case study for the second competition tasks teams of students to pitch a Jersey City expansion based on a hypothetical plan utilizing STEM From Dance—a New York -based nonprofit organization that promotes dance as an avenue to enhance the development of engineering and technology skills in young women of color. Based on their website, only 4% of Black and Latina women occupy the STEM workforce today, so STEM From Dance aims to creatively build up the next generation of minority women leaders with the resources and confidence to succeed. According to the annual WalletHub diversity rankings for 2020, Jersey City is the most diverse city in the United States . The student teams must create a presentation featuring a mission statement, plans for funding, target market insights, strategic partnerships, and sustainability forecast among their criteria. This pitch will take place on Thursday, December 10th starting at 11:20 am EST .
All students involved are eager to share their ideas with the world and potentially put these into practice. After a semester of preparation, mentorship, and building excitement, they are ready to make a mark and showcase their skills. As Michael Arbitblit , the first doctoral fellow in the business school and first at NJCU in over twenty years, commented, "it is not everyday that a group of students has the opportunity to get involved in change agents for real-life businesses and our community at large." You surely do not want to miss either pitch competition, and all the talent that will be on full display.
