On Wednesday,  May 7, 2014, the SIAM Student Chapter at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County, hosted a “How to Start a Business” event.  We were fortunate to have two wonderful guest speakers.  Sue Plitt, Associate Director of the Career Services Center provided advice on making a good professional impression, which is essential to obtaining the support to start your own business.  Then Les Craig, co-founder of RedOwl Analytics, shared his experiences when starting his company and provided invaluable advice for future entrepreneurs.  He answered many student questions and was a fabulous guest speaker.  The event provided visibility to the SIAM Student Chapter as it was attended by students from many departments on campus and was a great success!
