Per Mary Ann Beyster, President of FED, who participated on the judging panel, this is a "great end of an impressive year for this student-run organization with student-led business creation. They have created a forum that inspires, educates, and focuses on creating real companies in a broad range of areas. It really demonstrates the depth and breadth of talent that the university and community can bring together."
