The Office of Engaged Learning invites students, faculty, staff, and families to attend the 2025 Big iDeas Pitch Contest on Thursday, October 30, 2025, from 2:00–4:30 p.m. in the Hunt Institute (Caruth 206).
The Big iDeas Pitch Contest is the starting point for undergraduates interested in entrepreneurship at SMU. Students will present their innovative ideas for products, services, or initiatives that address real-world challenges. Each team will deliver a 90-second pitch to a panel of judges for the chance to receive up to $1,000 in seed funding to develop their ideas further.
Part of SMU’s Big iDeas program, this competition helps students take their first steps in turning ideas into action. Everyone is invited to attend and support these emerging innovators.
