Students who benefit the most from our program want to learn how to solve problems, commercialize research, advance innovation or start businesses. We can’t think of a more perfect fit than your Sustainable Plant Systems and Plant Sciences students! <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>The McGuire Program is a year-long experiential learning program that provides the training necessary to turn an early-stage idea into a launchable venture. Agriculture students who have gone through our top-ranked program in the past have been very successful. Some have gone on to launch startups while others have found that the entrepreneurial and innovative skills they develop through our curriculum gives them an advantage in today’s competitive job market. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>We will begin accepting applications this Fall for the 2014-2015 academic year and we would like to make sure agriculture students know that the McGuire Program is open to them. I’ve attached a PDF of our flyer and I would be happy to bring some hard copies to your office. Please share them with any of your students who you think would benefit from our program. We believe the McGuire Program curriculum is a natural fit and a beneficial opportunity for agriculture students interested in innovation and entrepreneurship. If you have any questions about the McGuire Program, please don’t hesitate to let me know.
