My name is Mitch Fultz, like my username.

The student directory won't let me link to my page directly, but here is the  link of our school directory. Typing in mitch fultz will show you my student info.  http://directory.andrew.cmu.edu/

My instructor/professor is R.F. Culbertson and here is his faculty page.  http://public.tepper.cmu.edu/facultydirectory/FacultyDirectoryProfile.aspx?id=166 At the bottom of his page it shows that there currently is a Spring 2013 course for Entrepreneurship.

If you need any more info or proof, feel free to ask.

Thanks

it's hard to trust people these days.

Can you post your identity and the name of your professor so this can be verified?

Hey everyone, I'm just bumping this post because we would like to order the shirts today and we haven't had enough donations to even cover the costs of adding the logo.

If you have anything to give, that'd be greatly appreciated by myself and my group members.

I also understand if you choose not to, it's hard to trust people these days.

Thanks!

Hi everyone.  I am a student at Carnegie Mellon University and in my Entrepreneurship class my group and I have been given an advertising assignment.  Since the project has to involve T-Shirts in some manner, we have decided to make shirts that will act as Billboards for companies who donate.

So far our target has been local food chains and companies in Pittsburgh.  The shirt is to represent finals week for students at both CMU and University of Pittsburgh. 

Why I am posting this here is because I think this could potentially be a way to get Bitcoin's name out there a little bit.  From my experience Bitcoin has a minimal audience here.  If we were to get enough Bitcoin donations to add the Bitcoin logo and name to the shirt I believe it would help spark some new interest in Bitcoin. 

Even after all of the news of Bitcoin lately, no one really seems to know about it here.  If students were to see the Bitcoin logo and name, they could possibly investigate into it a little bit and become a user.  Also, CMU is known for its diverse student body as we have students from all across the country; as well as a small percentage from other countries.  If these students where these shirts even just one more time at home, Bitcoin's name is getting out there. 

I know that this type of advertising may not be the best, but at a school with students majoring in Electrical Computer Engineering and the best Computer Science program, Bitcoin could explode here. 

Any donation would be amazing for our group.  If our group makes the most money we win some sort of prize, as well as the earnings from all of the other groups.  I appreciate you for considering donating!  The instructor of our course is R.F. Culbertson if anyone wanted to know. Thanks.

The donation address is 1LdjPyHyiUy1gPxSmdmwiPvsvYUKhvctTi and has been set up specifically for this cause.  Thanks again.
