More than a dozen high school students attended the Business Experience and Scholarship Challenge event at Wright State University on Jan. 25. The event was an opportunity for the faculty and staff at the Raj Soin College of Business to meet prospective students and brag about the state-of-the-art facility and caring and supportive faculty. Students had the opportunity to compete in several challenges and meet with corporate advisers for a chance to win a $1,000 scholarship. “It’s been a great day,” said William Shaffer, a senior at St. Francis DeSales High School. Shaffer plans to attend Wright State in the fall and major in finance. “I came here and immediately fell in love with the campus and it just feels like home.” High school students and their parents were also able to learn about the college’s collaboration with the business community and alumni. “I get the opportunity to tell them why it’s such a fantastic place to be,” said Andy Kaiser, chief financial officer at Cincinnati Bell and a 1991 Wright State graduate.

The five-day camp provided an experiential learning environment that helped students explore their interests in business. Students learned skills in economics, accounting, marketing, finance, management, information systems management and entrepreneurship. Students also participated in campus activities and networked with students from other schools across the region. “I’m definitely interested in business,” said Madison Stephenson, a senior at Shawnee High School in Springfield. “I’m also interested in coming to Wright State so I wanted to get a feel of the campus.” Students work closely with the college’s faculty, staff, students and local business executives. “We get to share some of the experiences that we’ve had at Scene75 with the students so they can learn from maybe from some of our mistakes,” said Jonah Sandler, CEO of Scene 75 Entertainment Centers, this year’s host company. “We get great ideas and great feedback from the student groups.”

Wright Venture is an entrepreneurial opportunity modeled after “Shark Tank,” an ABC–TV reality competition series that features aspiring entrepreneurs making business presentations to a panel of potential investors. In Wright Venture, students in the Raj Soin College of Business devised solutions for everyday problems such as a company that reviews gardening equipment, an advertising company that keeps students informed on campus, a real estate business that helps first-time renters stay organized and a company that connects brides and grooms to wedding DJs. Argus Fitness LLP won the 2019 competition and received a check for $5,000. Argus is a gym bag designed to organize clothing and belongings in various compartments and levels. Josh McMillian, a graduate student studying informational systems, designed the bag because of his frustration with misplacing smaller items while working out. “This just validates all of the work that I’ve put in,” said McMillian. McMillian hopes by the end of the year his product will be available for purchase on Amazon. Funding for the Wright Venture program is provided by the James Family Foundation, the Wright State University Foundation and the Raj Soin College of Business.

http://wright.edu/news When she was a freshman at Wright State, Jenny Border would often skip meals in the cafeteria because it was socially awkward for her. Her disability required that someone feed her or that she eat her food directly with her mouth. On March 11, she returned to her alma mater to demonstrate Obi, a robotic dining device that promises to revolutionize how people with disabilities eat their meals. Observing the demonstration at The Hangar were several students from the Raj Soin College of Business’ Marketing Challenges course. They were there to evaluate how well Obi works in a college dining hall and what marketing recommendations to make. “Our goal is to document the whole process of Jenny getting food and using Obi and seeing how Obi simplifies the dining experience for people who can’t feed themselves,” said marketing student Sarah Tritle. “One of the goals is to convince Wright State to adopt Obi full time so that any student who can’t feed themselves can have the independence that Obi provides.” More at http://webapp2.wright.edu/web1/newsroom/2017/04/26/cafeteria-style/

A story-driven, science fiction/fantasy card game that holds the promise of expanding into comic books and video games won Wright State University’s Wright Venture “Face the Wolves” business competition. Adam Wik, head of Galatune LLC, beat out two other competing teams during the second annual competition March 29 in the Student Union Apollo Room, winning a $5,000 loan. “This is phenomenal. This is surreal. It’s still not sinking in,” Wik said after winning the competition. “I never thought something like this would happen. … This is a dream come true.” Wright Venture is modeled after “Shark Tank,” an ABC-TV reality competition series that features aspiring entrepreneurs making business presentations to a panel of potential investors. Wik, who has a bachelor’s degree in marketing from Wright State and is working on his M.B.A., actually created the card game when he was 10 years old. He was urged by family and friends to take it to the market. “Thankfully, with my education at Wright State University, it lets you take that big leap from childhood dream to something you can actually execute in the market,” he said. The Raj Soin College of Business created Wright Venture with the partnership of James Family Entrepreneurship program and the WSU Foundation. The goal is to create a real-life, lasting experience that will be identical to an actual business startup. This experience includes: networking, mentorship, creative idea development, product design, service creation, financial management, business planning and marketing skills. During the competition, Wik pitched his business concept to a panel of five judges — wolves — who wanted to know if he was also targeting women as customers, how he expected to become profitable so quickly, and suggested that he sink as much money as possible into marketing. The Galatune game involves two to five players who each control a champion warrior. They fight each other at the same time and get points by defeating their opponents. “You have everyone reacting and moving in real time. It’s more like an actual war where you have to predict and understand your opponents better,” Wik said. “I’ve been playing games all of my life, and I haven’t seen anything quite like this. It breaks a lot of conventions of the gaming industry in new and exciting ways.” Wik said he will use the loan money to wrap up production and artwork so the game can hit the market in time for the holiday season. Galatune will also be featured at the GloryCon convention held at the Wright State Student Union on April 23. The other two finalists in Wright Venture were Just Modern Tees, a team seeking financial support to produce T-shirts with graphics that highlight urban Midwest themes, and Shady Lake Visionaries, a video production business that focuses on the outdoors. Just Modern Tees, created by students Tyler Willis, Matt Fisher and Josiah McArther, won the Fan Favorite award. Gallatune won the Leader of the Pack social media “likes” award for its video.
