The Events Committee plans all of WUEC events including Speaker Series, Workshops, Tech Treks, and Pitch Competitions. Throughout the semester, the committee brainstorms event ideas, hosts speakers, collaborates with other clubs on campus, and lead WUEC’s events from start to finish.
The Finance Committee manages the club’s budget by exploring creative funding. Members gain exposure to connecting with potential sponsors, managing the club’s accounts, and developing relationships with WUEC partners.
The Tech Committee handles the logistical aspects of the WUEC and ensures that everything in the backend transitions smoothly. They are responsible for managing the website, hosting virtual events, and developing technologies that can allow WUEC to pursue even more exciting activities. Members share a passion for creating things with technology!
The Marketing Committee designs club logos, apparel, event posters, and online media. Members advertise upcoming events, and maintain the clubs internet presence through weekly ListServ emails and updates on the Facebook page.
The Outreach Committee helps WUEC connect with external groups and personnel, such as future speakers and sponsors. It also helps entrepreneurs with traction on their ventures navigate the University's abundant resources for founders. In addition to these initiatives, the Outreach committee is pursuing a long-term project to create a platform for Penn founders to meet co-founders and future employees. Prospective members should be eager to network, cold-email, and innovate!
The Ambassadors Program is a semester-long experiential program that introduces new members to the early stages of entrepreneurship by developing a venture.
Participants focus on need-finding and hypothesis testing within their small founding teams, working up to pitch at our winter pitch competition. Each cohort becomes part of a tight-knit community of like-minded peers that they can carry with them throughout their time at Penn.
