LaunchNET News: BFFs 4ever

Besties for the resties
The Latest & Greatest from LaunchNET Kent State
I feel like our friendship has really evolved this semester. You've gotten to know me better, I've gotten to learn more about you...we're practically besties now 🫂

And you know, as besties we can tell each other secrets. So the fact that I didn't send a newsletter last week, let's keep that little secret between us 🤭

Highlights for the week include: microgrants and mentor awards, showcases and competitions in the region, going viral online, pitching, and LinkedIn.
