A Message from the GCU IDEA President:

Great to meet everyone! I hope that you're enjoying this Fall Semester, and got through the first eight weeks of classes alright. I participated in the Canyon Challenge last year, and took 2nd Place with Wild Horse Coffee. I am delighted to be your Club President this year, and it is my hope that I can provide you all with an increased amount of resources, tools, and collaboration to succeed this year. The stakes are rising, and I know the competition will only get tougher. Please feel free to reach out to me at anytime for assistance between club meetings. Looking forward to meeting you all, and hearing your latest IDEAS!
