F.U.N Night

Who 's never failed at least once in life?

Successful entrepreneurs don't find success the first time they try. We all know it's a series of knockdowns and getting back up that define success. Moreover, lessons can be learned through failures stories and we think they ought to be shared more openly. That is "Fuck Up Night" in a nutshell, it is a reunion of entrepreneurs who will get real with us all and share their failure stories in a casual environment. So grab a drink and get ready to have some fun!

Drinks and light apps provided. Also, be prepared to share a brief anecdote of something that's happened in your past. Trust us, it's not as scary as it sounds! This night will be one of the most fun and rewarding of the semester, especially if you're willing to put yourself out there.

Networking and happy hour at 6:30. Storytime 7:00-9:00 PM
