CEPE Entrepreneurship
Ideas That Change the World:
Entrepreneurship is recognizing a way to create value in the world and having the determination and skills necessary to make it happen. Entrepreneurs transform our world by finding better ways for us to go about our daily lives or by revolutionizing what daily life entails. Increasingly, social entrepreneurs are even harnessing the power of markets to perform some of the functions traditionally performed by governments, such as environmental protection, education and poverty relief. The goal of the CEPE Entrepreneurship Program is to encourage entrepreneurial innovation in our students and provide them the experience, skills and connections necessary to go from ideation to implementation. The program brings successful entrepreneurs to campus, sponsors workshops in the practical aspects of running a business and connects students with entrepreneurial mentors. If you have ideas, let us help you turn them into social change.
