The Conrad School of Entrepreneurship and Business community is proud to celebrate two remarkable University of Waterloo alumni, Holden Beggs and Jackson Mills, who have recently been named on Forbes’ prestigious "30 Under 30" list in the education category! Their innovative work and entrepreneurial spirit have earned them a place among the most influential young leaders shaping the future of education.

Holden and Jackson's journey began at the Conrad School of Entrepreneurship and Business, where their paths crossed through the Enterprise Co-op (E Co-op) program and Professor Wayne Chang's BET 300 (Foundations of Venture Creation) course. Though they each participated in these programs separately, they share a deep connection to the Conrad School, which played a pivotal role in their entrepreneurial development.

The Conrad School of Entrepreneurship and Business at the University of Waterloo recently held its semi-annual MBET Pitch Day, showcasing the entrepreneurial spirit of students in the Master of Business, Entrepreneurship and Technology (MBET) program. 
This high-energy event provided valuable opportunities for students to receive feedback from experts in the entrepreneurial ecosystem, helping them refine their business models and pitching skills. 

Ahmed Shahin, a part-time MBET and PhD Fellow at the Conrad School of Entrepreneurship and Business, recently received the prestigious Waterloo Institute for Nanotechnology Fellowship, an honour awarded to only about 30 students annually for demonstrating excellence in research, academic achievement, and commitment to sustainable development goals. This is the second year in a row that Ahmed has earned this recognition, and the fellowship comes with a $10,000 award. He received the award following a successful poster presentation showcasing his research.
