WESKA Skills & Knowledge Accelerator for WSU Graduate Students

About the event

The Carson College of Business is running its fourth annual WSU Entrepreneurship Skills and Knowledge Accelerator (WESKA), a free immersive, weeklong accelerator boot camp open to WSU postdoctoral, doctoral and master’s students from any discipline or WSU location who want to learn more about entrepreneurship.

Participants may register until 5 p.m., Sunday, May 1. Applications after this date may be considered if space is available. Interested participants are strongly encouraged to consult their faculty advisor/supervisor before applying for WESKA.

Activities include analyses, real-time work with ideas, role-plays, videos, group discussions, expert panels, anecdotes, practice in financial and market assessment, as well as other tools and social events.

The WESKA curriculum is designed by Carson College faculty and led by Professor Arvin Sahaym. WSU faculty experts will lead sessions in strategic entrepreneurship, finance, management and marketing, with guest presentations by campus, community and alumni start-up experts. WESKA is not offered for academic credit.

Housing assistance is available to interested students coming from campuses beyond Pullman.
