2022 Winterim

Winterim is a five-day entrepreneurship immersion event that culminates in a pitch competition. Since Winterim will be conducted in a hybrid style this year, the Bates Center views it as an opportunity to open up part of the programming to alumni, parents, students, faculty/staff, and the professional community.

Over 40 professionals served as speakers, mentors and judges for our 30 students during January 9-14. Here are the events our alumni/parents and the greater community are invited to participate in and/or watch.
