Patricia Hudak’s Summary

Patricia Hudak (23) is the founder and CEO of Real World 101. Through Real World 101, Patricia aims to help the next generation of young adults make better decisions in their twenties and beyond. The mission of Real World 101 is to prepare college students and recent college graduates for life after college. Through innovative care packages and online media, Real World 101 educates young adults in areas of post-college life, such as personal finances, health and fitness, career, social life, travel and entertainment, and home life.

Patricia launched Real World 101 after graduating from college and finding herself mired in the debt of student loans, and not quite sure what to do with herself. She created Real World 101 as the organization she would have liked to have when she graduated to smooth the transition from college to the real world.

She is a graduate of New York University with bachelors' degrees in marketing and management from the Leonard N. Stern School of Business.
