Two teams from Westphal were awarded 1st and 3rd place in the 2012 Baiada Institute for Entrepreneurship Business Plan Competition, our college's best showing ever.

The Design & Merchandising team that created NOMnivore will share First Place and a $3,000 award. The business concept and plan were conceived and written by Raina Passalacqua, Ashley Santee, Kate Wilt, and Lauren Stahl, under the mentorship of Professor Beth Phillips.  NOMnivore proposes to provide allergy free, fast, healthy, and tasty specialty snacks to the Drexel University community in convenient ways.

The Music Industry team that created The Arsenal House will share Third Place and its $1000 award. The business concept and plan was conceived and written by Meghan Signora, Amanda Moorhead, Joe Hoban, and Jon Herman, under the mentorship of Professor Larry Epstein.  The Arsenal House is a vegetarian/vegan restaurant that doubles as a music venue. Congratulations to all!
