5 THINGS EVERY ENTREPRENEUR SHOULD KNOW

COMMUNITY STORIES: ADRIANA GREEN
Through Student-Made, I want to learn more about running a business. Small stuff such as attending pop-ups, restocking when items go low, and keeping up with the website is not as easy as you think, but it teaches you time management, which is very important!
COMMUNITY STORIES: REGINA BAUTISTA
This role has given me so much experience while being in college, and put me ahead of the curve when it comes time to look for a job after college. I believe it’s impressive how much I have accomplished at such a young age, and that’s all thanks to Student-Made.
5 WAYS TO GROW YOUR COMMUNITY

COMMUNITY STORIES: EMILY PRYCE

COMMUNITY STORIES: JESSICA KIMES

THE PRESSURE OF WHAT’S NEXT
The future is shaped by the small decisions, the risks, the failures, and the moments you choose to lean into what matters to you. So if you’re feeling the pressure of what’s next, you’re not alone. Just don’t let it convince you that you need to have all the answers already.
