Graduate students from the M.S. in International Communication attended the International Council for Small Business 2017 Academy in Buenos Aires, Argentina and competed in their business idea pitch competition. Our students competed as two teams and both teams made it to the finals of the competition. This is the first time ever in the International Communication program history where the students not only competed in such a program but made it to the finals. 

The competition was apart of the ICSB 2017 World Conference, in the same conference, Dean Katia Passerini, Dr. Basilio Monteiro and Assistant Dean Kevin James, presented on the future of mobile technology in education and other industries. 

Learn more about their experience, by visiting the Institute of International Communication Blog and the CPS facebook page.
