Sacramento State’s Parents & Families Program is hosting STRONG 2017: Hornets Imagine Tomorrow's Solutions. This event will take place Friday, April 21. It is free and open to the public.

Students present solutions to problems within their major or career field. Employers from within and outside their discipline will offer feedback and judge the best "pitch." The top 2 undergraduate and top 2 graduate presentations will be invited back for a finalist round, and the chance to win an award. 

The objective of this "Shark Tank"-style academic competition is to get students to practice interview skills with Sacramento-area employers. We all know students' families provide immeasurable support in getting students to and through college, often without the opportunity to know what students work on. This public event offers parents and families the chance to see students in action. 

Parents with professional experience are also invited to represent their employer as a judge. Interested in judging? Email haley.myers@csus.edu with a subject line "STRONG 2017 judge."

We also need sponsorships! Interested in donating or sponsoring? Call Haley at 916-278-4353 or email haley.myers@csus.edu with the subject line "STRONG 2017 sponsor."
