You are invited to the Dean’s Leadership Circle 2025 Grant Pitch Competition, where finalists including students, faculty and staff from the Paul Merage School of Business will have two minutes to pitch innovative projects for vital funding.
An esteemed judging panel of DLC investors will determine which finalists walk away with up to $10,000 for their cause, but audience members will cast their votes to decide who will receive the coveted Fan Favorite Funding Award.
Join us for an evening of dynamic presentations, delicious food, and exciting awards, and help us crown our 2025 DLC Grantees.
