Evan Jorstad
Co-Engagement Chair
Hello, my name is Evan Jorstad. I’m a sophomore at Carlson studying Finance, MIS, and Accounting and one of the Engagement Directors for the Entrepreneurship Club. I’m currently pursuing a career in management consulting because it teaches how to research, spot, and act on market opportunities, which I see as key preparation for starting or joining a startup day. I believe perseverance and the ability to energize others are vital for success in entrepreneurship and hope to refine and use this ability of mine to further club engagement.
Shreya Sharma

My name is William Copps and I’m a sophomore at the Carlson School of Management, planning to major in Entrepreneurial Management. I got into entrepreneurship in high school when I ran my own clothing resale business, and I’m excited to keep learning and growing in that area. I’ve also worked as a bike mechanic at Erik’s Bike Shop and spent last summer as a counselor at YMCA Camp du Nord. In my free time, I like lifting, playing basketball, and spending time outdoors.
