Mission
The Entrepreneurship Collaboration site exists to bring clarity and connectivity to entrepreneurship opportunities across campus. By aligning programs, resources, events, and academic pathways, the portal empowers students, faculty, staff, alumni, and external partners to more easily engage with innovation, build ventures, and contribute to a thriving entrepreneurial community.
Who We Are
Entrepreneurship at our university spans disciplines, colleges, and departments—touching everything from engineering and business to the arts and sciences. The Entrepreneurship Collaboration site brings these distributed efforts together, creating a unified entry point for anyone interested in exploring, supporting, or advancing new ideas.
The Entrepreneurship Collaboration site was established in Spring 2026 to better connect, coordinate, and elevate the wide range of entrepreneurial activity happening across campus. From academic courses and co-curricular programs to student ventures and campus resources, the portal serves as a centralized hub to increase visibility, access, and collaboration within the university’s entrepreneurial ecosystem.
By making these opportunities more visible and accessible, the portal strengthens collaboration across campus and helps foster a culture of innovation and action.
