Distinguished Entrepreneur Speaker Series (DESS)

The Distinguished Entrepreneur Speaker Series (DESS) was established to provide a forum for renowned guest speakers to share their experiences from the world of entrepreneurship with both students and the Houston community. The speakers usually share the obstacles and failures they have endured on the road to becoming successful entrepreneurs.

We are honored and excited to bring such high caliber speakers to UH Bauer and extend an invitation and opportunity for all students across the campus to attend upcoming DESS events. Our objective is to promote DESS to UH students and pack Cullen Performance Hall every single time.
