🌟 Featured Keynote Speaker
We are honored to feature Ben Chutta:
Performer, Entrepreneur & Storyteller.
Born to refugee parents and raised with humble beginnings, Ben Chutta’s journey is a masterclass in resilience, curiosity, and unshakeable ambition. Higher education was never part of his original plan—financially, it felt out of reach, and higher education wasn't on the radar for most of his circle.
Everything shifted when his friends took matters into their own hands and secretly submitted university applications on his behalf. Ben transformed a sudden opportunity into an extraordinary journey: he went on to secure 17 scholarships totaling $52,000, study abroad in both Mexico and Hungary, and fuel his entrepreneurial hustle by running his own hot dog stand on campus.
Ben will share his experiences and insights on navigating school, making the most of the university experience, and recognizing opportunities you may not yet believe are possible.
