Not only did the students have the opportunity to attend informational breakout sessions and hear from inspirational speakers such as Chris Stevens, co-found of Keurig and Jeff Hoffman, founder of Priceline.com, but the 16 student entrepreneurs would compete with over 245 other universities for 11 different awards including the most prestigious awards: best chapter business, best chapter fundraiser, and best overall chapter.

• Amanda Hepner and Aaron Whatley presented for the "Best Chapter Fundraising Idea" award.
