19. Ventures Can be of any nature except those that duplicate the Student Professional Awareness Conference (S-PAC) Suggested Formats: Service, Workshop, Video, Simulation, Resource Materials Examples - Make a video tape depicting ethical dilemmas - Develop an in-house training program that instructs students on how to run a meeting - Establish a resume evaluation service - Create a computer package that gives basic ideas on setting up your own company Can span days, weeks or months, but should not generally exceed one school semester
