The Carson College of Business is running its fifth annual WSU Entrepreneurship Skills and Knowledge Accelerator (WESKA) 9 a.m.–5 p.m. June 12–16, in Spark 339 on the Pullman campus.
WESKA is an immersive accelerator boot camp open to WSU postdoctoral, doctoral, and master’s students from any discipline or WSU location who want to learn more about entrepreneurship.
Participants may register until 5 p.m., Sunday, April 30. Applications after this date may be considered if space is available. Interested participants are strongly encouraged to consult their faculty advisor/supervisor before applying for WESKA.
Activities include analyses, real-time work with ideas, role-plays, videos, group discussions, expert panels, anecdotes, practice in financial and market assessment, as well as other tools and social events.
The WESKA curriculum is designed by Carson College faculty and led by Arvin Sahaym, Carson College professor and associate vice provost for interdisciplinary initiatives. WSU faculty experts lead sessions in strategic entrepreneurship, finance, management and marketing, with guest presentations by campus, community, and alumni start-up experts. WESKA is not offered for academic credit.
WESKA is free to the WSU graduate and post-doctoral community. Housing assistance is available to interested students coming from campuses beyond Pullman.
