2017 May 3

Nicholas J. Vigue of North Waterboro, ME, who is majoring in Media Arts Production at Emerson College was recently honored at the College's annual E3 Expo for a proposed new venture.

Vigue, a member of the class of 2018, won the E3 Entrepreneurial Spirit Award for his venture that produces limited edition T-shirts dedicated to preserving lost art and supporting local artists.

Twenty undergraduate students pitched their start-up ventures and competed for cash prizes at the 12th annual E3 Expo. This year, the E3 Expo had an informal partnership with MIT's Martin Trust Center for Entrepreneurship where students visited the Center several times to connect with MIT entrepreneurs, and some engaged in collaborations with their MIT counterparts.
