Hoya Challenge
Â
Hoya Challenge brings entrepreneurially minded students together by fostering the creation of businesses through involvement in competitions and by providing educational resources. Hoya Challenge hosts events and competitions throughout the academic year with a focus on encouraging students to hone their ideas, develop their business plans, and create pitches to present to judges. While participation in every event is not required, each event builds off the other such that engagement from the beginning of the year will help in the formation of a successful business venture.
These events culminate to the final competition called The Hoya Challenge, which allows students to compete in the social track or for-profit track. Hoya Challenge helps grow ideas into a reality—make it happen!!
