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. Information sessions will be held at 6 p.m. on Sept. 19 and 26 and Oct. 11 and 24 in the Innovation Studio, 124C Meredith.

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