On one of the coldest mornings of the year, three Smith students in the Maryland Undergraduate Society of Entrepreneurs (MUSE) identified a market niche and set up shop in front of Van Munching Hall with steaming hot chocolate and tasty muffins, successfully tempting students, faculty and staff as they hurried into the building on Tuesday, Feb. 6, 2007.
After being outside for more than three hours in temperatures in the teens, Nick Singer, Jeffrey Berenholtz and Michael Holzheimer admitted that they were very, very cold and were contemplating how much longer to stay out, but they said that they had gone through many trays of muffins, lots of hot chocolate and were happy with the turnout. They were promoting the first MUSE social of the semester, "TerpZone," and the kick-off of the second annual Cupid's Cup business competition, in which entries are due by March 16.
