Risk and reward. Goal-setting. Pursuing a passion. Chris Ruder, founder of the popular outdoor game Spikeball and successful contestant on ABC’s Shark Tank, has a wealth of business stories and advice to share with you. From a bachelor’s degree in journalism to CEO of a company that hosts hundreds of tournaments around the country, Chris’s message includes life twists, turns, and surprises that all students should hear, no matter your current major or career goals. Come with questions and an open mind – it pays to get to know the experts (and college students can work for Spikeball too)!
