The UAA College of Business and Public Policy Business Plan Competition will conclude on Friday, April 7, from 5-7:30 p.m. with Perfect Pitch, a free event held at UAA’s Rasmuson Hall. Four finalists will showcase their business plans at a mini trade show, followed by remarks from Alaska State Senator Shelley Hughes and live investor pitches.
