Students' interested in business and economics are invited to visit Allegheny for a special day of programming during the Allegheny Zingale Big Idea Competition. Prospective students and their families can tour campus, enjoy brunch with Allegheny buisness and economics faculty and students, and stay for the main event, the Zingale Big Idea Competition.

The competition highlights seed-level business ideas developed by Allegheny students and awards a remarkable $40,000 in total prize money to this year's winners. Inspired by the entrepreneurial spirit of shows like CNBC's Shark Tank, the event offers a supportive twist. Rather than simply evaluating business models, the distinguished panel of judges provides constructive feedback, coaching, and encouragement to help students refine their ideas.

Families are invited to observe the finalist presentations and see which innovative ventures will be crowned this year's winners.
