This Year’s Focus: A Real-World Venture!
In the 2024-25 school year, ASE is diving into a hands-on project—launching Sweet Carolina Water. This venture sources spring water from Murphy, NC, and packages it in eco-friendly cans instead of plastic bottles. Students will be split into teams and apply their classroom knowledge in areas like product development, marketing, supply chain, and accounting. It’s a unique opportunity to gain real-world experience and see a business launch from start to market. ASE is all about learning by doing—so come be part of this exciting journey!
Meeting Time?
We meet every Wednesday from 5 to 6 p.m. in the Center for Entrepreneurship, located in room 2018 Peacock Hall. Join us and discover the power of entrepreneurship.
