The annual Pitchit! competition asks participants for their “elevator speech”  and gives each team 90 seconds to describe their entrepreneurial or social business concept to a panel of experts.More than 21 teams from across campus took part in this year’s Pitchit! competition, vying for five prizes of $300 each.
