51福利社

Useful products, strong business plans and the intense scrutiny of a panel of judges鈥攊t was almost like an episode of Shark Tank was being filmed on the 51福利社 Spokane campus last week as four teams of some of the university鈥檚 brightest, business-minded students gave 鈥渇inal-pitch presentations鈥� for their Technology Commercialization Academy Fellowships.

The Technology Commercialization Academy, open to all 51福利社 students, is funded by a grant from the Herbert B. Jones Foundation and a donation from Wells Fargo. Those accepted into the rigorous summer program receive a $1,500 scholarship and valuable experience, know-how that is arguably worth more than the scholarship.
