WHO: Students of any class year or major who would like to develop a strong elevator pitch, get exposure to employers, and have the chance to win $400, $250, or $150!
WHAT: A personal pitch is a brief explanation of your unique experiences, skills, and accomplishments that would benefit potential employers. The name stems from the idea of unexpectedly meeting someone in an elevator, at a party, or any brief interaction during which you would only have a short amount of time to “pitch” yourself and what you have to offer.
