“….Adhya was such a delight to have at our BizCamp this summer. Her ability to connect with the other students and her willingness to help the younger students was wonderful to see. She has such a great personality and I believe she will go far and I personally really enjoyed the opportunity to get to know her better.
I’m so glad to hear that her experience with the NFTE BizCamp has encouraged her to see entrepreneurship as a possibility for her future…..” – Karen Ezell, Regional Director, NFTE (Network for Teaching Entrepreneurship)
