COM Leadership and Innovation Showcase
The NC State College of Management’s Second Annual Leadership and Innovation Showcase on April 27 is a double celebration of achievement – recognizing both student and professional accomplishments.
The Innovation Showcase puts the spotlight on our students. Undergraduate and graduate students in the college are encouraged to participate in this event with a poster presentation summarizing their innovative work in a project-based course, completed in fall 2009 or spring 2010. The students compete for scholarships that will be awarded for the top presentations in the undergraduate and graduate categories.
In the Leadership Showcase, the college recognizes a distinguished individual who has made outstanding contributions to the college, to his or her profession, and to the NC State community. This individual receives the College of Management’s Annual Person of the Year Award and presents the scholarship awards for the top Innovation Showcase student or team project presentations.
