Two amazing terms, two simple words: The Microbusinesses

The Microbusinesses are the most engaging and provoking learning experiences we can possibly offer to our first-year business students. This isn’t “monopoly money” or digital coin; these are real bank accounts with financial resources loaned and an expectation for profits.

A team of fellow students helps you plan sales and marketing strategies; our DamLab makerspace is your factory for prototypes and production, and we offer all the academic support you need to create and launch a microbusiness. What could go wrong!!!!

“To be honest, I expected the first year of business school to be all book work — just reading about business without much doing — with junior and senior year being when we’d write business plans.

“So for us to be working together as freshmen to start our own business and launch a real product is pretty exciting. Not to mention, our product could really take off, which makes this much more motivating than your average team project.”

“Basically every business needs marketers”

Basically, every business needs marketers, but there are some industries where there are high concentrations of marketing. Some of them are like obviously ad agencies, public relation agencies, large brands, large corporations just in general.

The interesting thing about digital marketing is it's really in its infancy, it's changing daily so staying up with digital marketing is a fun experience and it really sort of keeps you on your toes.

I enjoy challenges, and I love to learn. That desire to learn and solve tough problems has guided me my entire career.
