Dear students, 

We hope you are having a good start to your Spring Term and welcome you to join our FREE innovation events. Tuesday, we hear from the legendary Professor Larry Smith who will discuss what makes an important problem, why pursuing important problems is advantageous for start-up founders and business owners, and how students can uncover important problems. Larry will share students’ success stories and mistakes that he observed while teaching at UW for over 40 years.
