Spencer Owen one of winners of Champlain College's Elevator Pitch competition

Spencer Owen, of Littleton, N.H., was one of the winners of Champlain College's 2015 Elevator Pitch competition. Owen competed in the Nonprofit/Social Advocates category. The contest, which is put on by Champlain College's BYOBiz Program, Career Services, the Center for Service & Civic Engagement, and the Office of Advancement, requires students to give a 90 second "pitch" to an executive (who is known as "the suit") as they ride together in a fictional elevator. Champlain is located in Burlington, Vt.
