We love to see it, Joaquim! ?? So proud to watch Montclair State University students excel in their entrepreneurial endeavors. Our first Creators' Marketplace was a big success with over 30+ student vendors, and we look forward to our next one in April! Keep up the awesome work, Joaquim ??

?? Creators Marketplace ?? Last Thursday, February 20, 2025, I had the opportunity to participate as a vendor in the Creators Marketplace hosted by the Feliciano Center for Entrepreneurship and Innovation at Montclair State University Having experience selling at my local flea market during the summer, I knew this opportunity was perfect for me. However, this marketplace stood out in a few key ways: ? No tabling fees – Unlike typical markets that charge $55-$120 per table, this event allowed vendors to maximize their profits. ? Student-focused – Every vendor was a student entrepreneur, creating a supportive and collaborative environment. ? Networking opportunities – I connected with both familiar and new vendors, sparking great conversations and fostering a like-minded community. Much love to the Feliciano Center for Entrepreneurship and Innovation for organizing yet another phenomenal event for the student body. I look forward to attending and participating in many more!
