A highlight this spring is a visit from Senator Phil Gramm, who will speak on financial policy and engage directly with students in the classroom.
Entrepreneurship at Cedarville is equally dynamic. Students gain confidence and practical experience by starting real businesses. From the entrepreneurship camp for high school students to campus ventures like The Bagel Girl and the Hustle House, students are creating value now. Programs like The Pitch give students a Shark Tank-style opportunity to present vetted ideas to experienced entrepreneurs for cash prizes.
