Could you be the next alumni millionaire?
Churchill alumni are invited to sign up for an exciting, free, hands-on pitching workshop on Thursday 14 November, led by ‘The Geek Whisperer’, Adelina Chalmers. The first Cambridge University alumnus Adelina helped with his pitch, sold his business and became a multi-millionaire at the age of 28. This workshop forms part of a programme of Churchill College Enterprise events, designed to develop and support the entrepreneurial skills of all College members, and is a precursor to our annual Pitch to Win competition, details of which are coming soon.
