HopStart learners making world a better place

Two weeks ago, I had the honor and the privilege to serve as a volunteer mentor and volunteer judge for at the 24th annual HopStart new venture awards program at Johns Hopkins University. Hosted by the Center for Leadership Education at Johns Hopkins, HopStart is a competition that challenges Hopkins students to develop a business plan around an innovative idea and pitch their plan to a panel of judges. Participation in the HopStart competition is open to teams that include undergraduate, graduate and postdoctoral students at Hopkins.
