LaunchNET News: New Events Just Dropped

Would you look at that

The Latest & Greatest from LaunchNET Kent State

This weekend took a lot out of me.

Or maybe that's the wrong wording, I think it more so overloaded me.

Either way, bon appetit. Here is the newsletter.

Highlights for the Week: the first alumni cohort of the year, crafting is so back, networking and gaming, plans for a social entrepreneur, a crawford spring pitch, and a new section to shoutout our entrepreneurs!
