TREND Mentoring UA’s Emerging Entrepreneurs! 

March 1, 2024

Every other Friday, the Alaska SBDC’s TREND Program Director Tyler Arnold spends an hour mentoring students in Resilient Innovative Sustainable Economics via University Partnerships (RISE-UP program), led by Magali Eaton and housed under Alaska Center ICE.

The RISE-UP initiative comprises four components, each with corresponding programs in all states and locations, to facilitate the creation of technical solutions for real-world problems and foster an environment dedicated to preparing the next generation of talent for future job opportunities. It’s a great opportunity to talk with UA students exploring entrepreneurship!
