The first UK Entrepreneurs Club meeting of the year was a great success. We had around 25 participants at the meeting. Not only did we discuss the benefits of being an entrepreneur while in college, everyone also had the chance to share some of their interests and network with others that shared similar goals. The Club executive committee will meet this Tuesday to plan the events for the rest of October, so be sure to check back later this week for updates to the Club Calendar!
