We don’t talk about entrepreneurship. We do entrepreneurship.
We believe the best way to learn about entrepreneurship is to do it. Our events and programs give students, faculty, and community members the chance to take action on their ideas and meet fellow innovators to inspire their work. Everything is open and welcoming to all.
