🎉 Congratulations to Ethan Nathaniel (DKV UMN Class of 2023) and Ivana Novaria (DKV UMN Class of 2024) for their remarkable achievement in winning the International Pitching Competition with Musashino University, Japan! 🏆✨
Pitching competitions challenge students to present creative solutions and communicate their ideas convincingly before a panel of international judges. Through this process, participants sharpen critical skills such as problem-solving, creative thinking, and persuasive communication. Ethan and Ivana stood out among the participants with their strong concept and solid presentation, earning them not only the championship title but also a fully-funded trip to Japan ✈️. This opportunity allows them to directly experience Japan’s academic and cultural environment while broadening their global perspective.
Their success demonstrates the quality of DKV UMN students in competing at an international level and serves as motivation for other students to take part in similar opportunities. More than just about winning, this achievement reflects resilience, creativity, and the courage to bring ideas forward. We are truly proud of their accomplishments and look forward to seeing how this experience will continue to inspire their creative journey, as well as other students who dare to dream big. 🙌🌟
