This fall, Saint Louis University’s John Cook School of Business and its Entrepreneurship program are launching the Diamond in the Rough Student Entrepreneur Competition. The winning student entrepreneur, who best embodies the key idea of SLU’s Entrepreneurship program, “Do good. Do well,” will be awarded $5,000.

“Diamond in the Rough represents an outstanding way for SLU to show its support for our students who are already running their own firms,” said Jerome Katz, Ph.D., Coleman Foundation professor of entrepreneurship.
