TheGigotCenterfor Entrepreneurial Studies at the University of Notre Dame will host a panel discussion featuring experienced entrepreneurs and venture capitalists on Thursday (Sept. 7) at 7 p.m. in the Jordan Auditorium of the Mendoza College of Business.

A kick-off event for the seventh annual Notre Dame Business Plan Competition, the panel discussion is sponsored by the NASDAQ Educational Foundation and will be the first of several training sessions scheduled for the academic year.

Five experienced panelists will offer advice on recognizing opportunities, building entrepreneurial teams, and the role of the entrepreneur.

TheGigotCenterwas established in 1998 with a $2 million gift from 1972 Notre Dame graduate Gary E. Gigot, a private investor. It offers internships, sponsors several business plan competitions, operates a small business incubator, and provides a broad-based curriculum that gives Notre Dame students the entrepreneurial skills that will enable them to convert ideas into market possibilities.
