The NC PSI is doing a training exercise in partnership with Poole College of Management (Jeffrey Pollack) with 5 of our faculty on the design and development of industry-ready pitch presentations related to their specific research program.

The 5 faculty who have agreed to participate are Drs. Ross Sozzani, Cranos Williams, Debjani Sihi, James Braun, and Maude Cuchiara. As a final part of the training, each of the five faculty members will present their final pitch to a panel of supporters including industry employees at an open session. During the open session, the panelists will provide a critique for each faculty presenter that should help improve their success rate for receiving funding from an industry partner.
