This week, AACC's Entrepreneurial Studies Institute hosted their live pitch and awards ceremony. In AACC’s version of the ABC Network’s “Shark Tank,” the Business Pitch Competition is open to all credit and noncredit students who have successfully completed an AACC course in the last year. These students compete for money to support their business ventures. They submit comprehensive business plans and finalists pitch their idea to a panel of judges who evaluate and determine awards.

Congratulations to this year's award recipients:

• $1,000 Mindful Movements - Daniel Levy, Jacob Rosenblatt, and Jacob Rosenbloom
