In the Lorentzen Student Hatchery, Drake students spend a summer building their own business. The Hatchery provides a unique opportunity for any Drake student––undergraduate or graduate––to earn up to $10,000 over the 2018 summer while working for themselves. Both teams and individuals are welcome to apply. The last of the informational sessions will be held Tuesday, Oct. 24, at 6 p.m. in Meredith Hall in the Innovation Studio, Room 124C.

Applications for the 2018 cohort are due Monday, Oct. 30, and presentations are scheduled for Tuesday, Nov. 7. Students invited to participate in the 2018 Hatchery will have the opportunity to meet John C. Lorentzen, the 1977 Drake graduate who proposed and funded the student hatchery program, on Friday, Nov. 10, when the 2017 Hatchery cohort makes their presentations.
