Just another The Spurlocks… weblog

Earlier this semester I was given the privilege to be apart of the Entrepreneur Club. I was given the responsibility to organize a competition for USU called Opportunity Quest. When I first heard about it I was stoked. I thought, that organizing a competition was going to be easy. I basically got the final say on everything; the marketing, planning out the dates, and helping with the judging. It also seemed that this would look great on a resume. The shock is that organizing this is hard. I mean really hard.

To date I have had to meet with multiple people several times. I have designed a poster numerous times to ensure that when it prints it will look awesome. Dates have been scheduled, re-scheduled, then scheduled again. To say the least, it has been a whole lot of work to get just here.

Where is here you might ask? Currently, I have a poster designed that I will place across campus. I designed a t-shirt that will be a freebie later on. I designed a TV slide that will be displayed in key areas. In cooperation with others, I planned dates for events such as: orientation, registration, executive summary submission deadline, presentations for finalist, and a dinner for the finalist.

I still need to market a seminar that is in the middle of all of this. This is quite the task, but I have never regretted the responsibility. I truly believe that Opportunity Quest can foster a healthy entrepreneurial spirit. If you would like additional information concerning Opportunity Quest feel free to contact me.
