Dear Campus Communicators,

In light of the university's COVID-19 guidance and to best support our student entrepreneurs, the Anderson Center for Entrepreneurship & Innovation has amended the original schedule for the spring 2020 Boyd Venture Challenge. This includes three key changes:

• APPLICATIONS: ACEI will now accept applications through April 20, allowing students additional time to apply while acclimating to online courses and other adjustments.
• PRESENTATIONS: Students will present remotely to the judging panel. The current presentation date of April 24 will be changed to a date later this summer. ACEI is working to determine this date and will share the new date when available.
• ELIGIBILITY: Graduate and undergraduate students who are enrolled at UT at the time of the application deadline are still eligible to pitch if they graduate prior to the presentation date. 

Further details regarding competition and application information are available below. Updated tools for sharing are available to download at https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1Ou_mplA5PkUdyI9WUVfJ4YLMq3Dq6TRv?usp=sharing.
