Innoavate State Speaker Series
The Innovate State Speaker Series brings both emerging and accomplished Spartans back to campus for a fireside chat interview. These 60-minute sessions offer the chance for guests to share their perspectives on a wide array of topics like innovation, startup life, investments, and career paths. These are stories of success, stories of failures, and stories of uncommon will—and you do not want to miss them. Innovate State is hosted and managed by the Burgess Institute for Entrepreneurship & Innovation.
