Entrepreneurial Eats
Entrepreneurial Eats is the Institute for Entrepreneurship’s biweekly initiative that unites CSU’s entrepreneurial community through free lunch and fellowship. Whether you have a business idea or just want to meet others, this is an awesome opportunity to expand networks and enjoy some food as well. We meet every other week in the North Rockwell Venture Lounge.
