ENTREPRENEURSHIP BEYOND THE CLASSROOM
Based on member input, we are launching a new series of Collaborative Community Conversations that will focus on the co-curriculum. Our goal is to help members make new connections, explore best practices, and gain actionable tips for developing or enhancing co-curricular entrepreneurship offerings. While open to all members, this series is geared toward administrators, staff, and faculty with administrative responsibilities.

The series will launch in July with a program on university incubators and accelerators (details below). Future programs will explore topics such as entrepreneurship competitions, hackathons, student entrepreneurship clubs and makerspaces.

If you are interested in sharing a best practice from your school, inform us so we can schedule the program based on your availability.
UPCOMING EVENTS
