This past weekend, entrepreneurship students Zaria Brown, Joey Felker, and Kyla Watson attended the 31st annual SECRA conference in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. They participated in round-table discussions among case writers and professors of various specialties. The feedback that was provided will allow all case writers to revise and submit their cases for potential publication in the SECRA Journal.




Zaria Brown, Kyla Watson, and Amaya Evans were awarded “Best Student Case” at this year’s conference. Sigma Nu Tau faculty advisor and head of the entrepreneurship department, Dr. Marko Horn, also presented and received the “Best Case” award with co-authors Mary Dittman and Pam Turner.

Take a moment to read this new article by Jennifer Falk about one of the hands-on entrepreneurship classes offered at Mercer. This piece highlights the experiences of students from the fall semester, where they worked with local businesses to further their knowledge of the business world.

Happy New Year from Sigma Nu Tau! With 2022 in the rear-view mirror, we turn our attention to new goals and aspirations. To kickstart us off, our word of the year is “innovate”. We can’t wait to share with you how innovative we are in 2023!




Let us know in the comments what your word of the year is!

Last Thursday, we hosted our 2022 Next Big Idea Competition at the Mercer Innovation Center. Participants presented their innovative ideas to our lovely judges who awarded up to $6000 in prizes.

We had competitors in each For-Profit and Non-Profit category. Our winners in the For-Profit category were Bundle Thrift and Rocky Ridge Outdoor Deer Attractant. Traffick Jam and Robert McDuffie Pre-College for Strings were our winners in our Non-Profit category. Congratulations!




Thank you to everyone who participated, judged, organized, or attended! If you think you have the next big idea, be sure to sign up for our competition next year.

Zaria Brown, one of our founding members, is a recent recipient of a $1000 scholarship from our national honor society. She was nominated by our faculty advisor, Dr. Horn, for outstanding entrepreneurial excellence and service to the community. Congratulations Zaria!

Last week, we had the privilege of hearing from a triple bear, Dr. Trent Coggins. He shared with us his journey from real estate law to becoming an "accidental entrepreneur." He is now the owner of Recoil Trampoline Park in Valdosta, GA, and a business law professor at Valdosta State University.




A big thank you to Dr. Trent Coggins, Dr. Marko Horn, Professor Stephanie Howard, and everyone who attended that made this event happen.

We look forward to seeing you at our next event!
