This year, Prairie View A&M University’s College of Business is honored to host the 2016 FOCUSS Idea Competition. FOCUSS (Framework for Opportunity Convergence and the Utilization of Sustainable Solution) is a non-profit organization created to assist American ethnic minorities, women, veterans, and members of the LGBT community to discover sustainable solutions that will benefit society.

Sponsored by the CUNA Mutual Group, this activity is designed to stimulate constructive thought surrounding the concepts of innovation and discovery. ​The competition is open to all current participating college/university students. This year’s problem statement for PVAMU is:

Create a plan that promotes savings and investing among young adults. The plan should include specific strategies, tactics, messages, messengers, and the use of digital technology.

Join us at the Information Session on February 10, 2016 from 5pm – 7pm in the Agriculture/Business Multipurpose Building Room 114.  Registration information can be found here: http://foc-uss.weebly.com/pvamu.html.
