Abdul Abdurasulov brings Plug power stations to campus

Over the holiday break, Belmont introduced new charging spaces for students on the go - a new student venture called Plug. Plug was made possible by junior business student Abdul Abdurasulov who partnered with the Thomas F. Cone Sr. Center for Entrepreneurship to take actionable steps in bringing power banks to campus. Plug power bank stations offer a portable power bank sharing service where chargers can be rented for convenient usage at the rate of $2 an hour, or $6 a day. The idea stemmed from a trip last summer to his family's home in Uzbekistan, where power bank stations are regularly found at local coffee shops, restaurants and cafes.
