There is no cost to attend any of the sessions, scheduled for April 6 (all spaces already filled), April 18, and May 3, but advance registration is required. The April 18 and May 3 events still have spaces available and are open to the public as well as university students, staff, and faculty members.

• April 18 (space still available) – Kristina Montague, founder of The Jump Fund, which provides capital to create opportunities for women entrepreneurs.

• May 3 (space still available) – Bryce Butler, Gatton College adjunct instructor, who is teaching an introductory course on social entrepreneurship.
