PHILADELPHIA'S STUDENT ENTREPRENEUR IDOL

National Entrepreneurship Week 2007 Comes to Philadelphia

You Too Can Be an Idol! No, we can't make you the next Kelly Clarkson, Ruben Studdard, Fantasia, Carrie Underwood or Taylor Hicks. To do that, you'd have to audition and be subjected to the taunts of Simon Cowell.

But Temple University is teaming up with the City of Philadelphia to organize and host Philadelphia's Entrepreneur Idol during Entrepreneurship Week USA 2007. The expert judges will provide educational feedback to all the contestants in a positive manner.

Undergraduate students from colleges and universities in the city will compete for the title, $1,000 in cash, and a private luncheon with the 2006 National Entrepreneur of The Year, Dr. Richard Caruso.
