The John Carroll University team competing at the fourth annual Entrepreneurship Immersion Week tied for second place with a concept called, “Menu 2.0,” an iPad application used to replace restaurant menus. The event, held at Baldwin Wallace College this month, gives college students the opportunity to network with their peers from area universities and prominent members of the Northeast Ohio entrepreneurship community.

The John Carroll team won $2000. The group is comprised of five members: Paul Merrill, Corey Barnett, Maria Perossa, Jeanniece Jackson and Rosario Scibona.
