Hey all,
Coming to you with another opportunity to support future Husker entrepreneurs! Over 50 students from Standing Bear High School are joining us on campus on Friday, May 9, to individually pitch their entrepreneurial ideas in three minutes or less. Sign up to judge the preliminary round from 9:00-10:30am in the College of Business (HLH018) here: https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://airtable.com/appsWVl1stFNkcD2y/pagxw44g…
As a judge for the preliminary round, you'll actively listen to approximately 10 pitches (three minutes each), get 2 minutes to ask each of them a few questions and choose one to advance to the second round later that day. Rubrics provided. On behalf of the College of Business Enrollment Management team and the Nebraska Center for Entrepreneurship, we appreciate your help!
What: Judge High School Quick Pitch
When: Friday, May 9, 2025
What Time: 9:00-10:30am

Please indicate in the form above if you’re available to sit on the panel as well. If you cannot judge, but can/want to sit on the panel, let me know via email!
Please reach out if you have any questions.

Nebraska Accelerator Cohort members,
I’m pleased to confirm your continued participation in the Nebraska Entrepreneurship Accelerator in 2025–26 as an A2 year student. We’re excited to support you for a second year as you continue building on the momentum of your first!
You’ll again receive a $1,000 scholarship during the 2025–26 academic year ($500 disbursed after each semester of program completion). Final scholarship amounts may be adjusted under certain circumstances by the Office of Scholarships and Financial Aid. You will also enroll in ENTR424 (Practicum in Entrepreneurship), which is only open to Accelerator members and offers 3 credit hours for building/growing your business. Regular tuition fees will be charged to your MyRed account should you choose to earn credit for participation.
Unless we hear otherwise, we will consider your receipt of this message as your acceptance of your A2 year cohort spot and the scholarship award. If your plans have changed and you no longer wish to participate, please let me know.
We ask all A2 Accelerator students to complete this form at your earliest convenience: https://go.unl.edu/acceleratoracceptance . One question asks about your availability for the fall semester, please share as many options as you can. We plan to meet about once a month.
Congratulations again on your continued involvement in the Nebraska Entrepreneurship Accelerator! If you have any questions about this award or program, please feel free to contact Mallory at mkrenk2(a)unl.edu<mailto:mkrenk2@unl.edu>.
Sincerely,
