Lia Winter encourages student innovators to consider CIC opportunity

Lia Winter, Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Winter Innovations LLC, posted this message on her LinkedIn page that we are reposting verbatim:

“To graduate and undergraduate student innovators: Applications for the 2020 Collegiate Inventors Competition® are open until June 8th! Last year, I had the incredible opportunity to compete in the CIC and present EasyWhip™ at the USPTO. If you have an invention or intellectual property, I highly recommend applying for the CIC. Today’s student innovators will help shape tomorrow! You can learn more about the CIC and access the application at: invent.org/cic Please feel free to contact me if you have questions about the competition or the application process!”

Winter earned dual Master’s degrees from the University of Tennessee, Knoxville nearly a year ago.
