The Heart of the Matter

The Brenneman School of Business Community Innovation Challenge is one of the most meaningful annual events on the School of Business calendar. It's a three-stage pitch competition that challenges students to develop business ideas focused on solving real social issues facing their community.

Among the materials created for this year's event, these three pieces highlight the range of what goes into an event like this – a heart motif formed by many hands coming from all directions, a symbol of collaboration and shared purpose that felt right for a competition asking students to think beyond profit, as well as some of the judging forms that help keep it all running behind the scenes.
