Brandon Smart, 2016 graduate of Batavia High School, current undergraduate at the University of Rochester, has advanced to the finals in the Tibetan Innovation Challenge.
This is an intercollegiate social entrepreneurship business plan contest. Top universities from around the world compete in this challenge.
The ideals submitted from this contest are meant to improve the lives of Tibetans living in refugee camps in India.
Brandon and his team, along with the other four finalists, will present their business plan to the Tibetan partners June 3 for the final round of the competition. The winner will get to meet the Dalai Lama and hopefully improve the lives of many Tibetans with their plan.
