ESF plans workshop to aid students with business ideas

CNY Business Journal reported that the State University of New York College of Environmental Science and Forestry (ESF) will host a workshop to help high-school students develop ideas for a business competition.

ESF has partnered with the Metropolitan Development Association of Syracuse and Central New York (MDA) to provide help to students interested in the annual Creative Core Emerging Business Competition. The workshop will be held from 2:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. Dec. 13 at the Rosamond Gifford Zoo.

Marcie Sonneborn of the Central New York Technology Development Organization will run the event, which will help students expand and develop business ideas for submission to the competition.

The contest features a $5,000 prize for the best student idea. Its grand prize is $200,000 for the region's most innovative and growth-oriented company.

Pre-registration for the student workshop is required, but there is no charge. For more information, visit www.esf.edu/outreach/sage/.
