The University of Tennessee, Knoxville, announced that Guthrie Center native Charlotte Colling has been awarded third place in the Haslam College of Business’ Vol Court pitch competition.
Vol Court is a four-week program that concludes with a 90-second business pitch competition. The event allows students to apply insights from the speaker sessions by presenting their business ideas to a panel of experienced entrepreneurs. Participants compete for a grand prize of $1,500.
Colling, a senior marketing and business management double major, took home the third-place prize for her business Ellie & Shell, a company that creates handmade, one-of-a-kind quilted bags while fostering a community that values authenticity, creativity and philanthropy through literacy initiatives.
