From Idea to Action

You don't have to already have a business to participate.

A recent Student-Made OWU feasibility study found interest from students representing 22 different majors. Of the students interested in selling products or services, 63.6% have an idea they want to develop, while 36.4% already have something they want to sell.

Student ideas range from art and handmade products to training programs, technology, and other services.

Your idea could be next.
