Flemming Center for Entrepreneurship & Innovation

The Flemming Center for Entrepreneurship & Innovation empowers H-SC students to think boldly, act ethically, and lead courageously in a rapidly changing world. Rooted in the College’s 250-year-old mission to form good men and good citizens, we cultivate entrepreneurial mindsets through a liberal arts lens, foster real-world innovation, and connect students with alumni, mentors, and industry leaders. We prepare principled entrepreneurs to discover opportunity, embrace ambiguity, and solve complex challenges with grit, creativity, and purpose.

Entrepreneurship here is inherently interdisciplinary and thrives at the intersection of creativity, strategy, and technology. Whether students are studying economics and business, fine arts, foreign affairs, physics, theatre, history, or psychology, students learn to transform ideas into impact. Innovation does not belong to one discipline it belongs to those who connect the dots across many. Through initiatives like Forge on the Hill, the L-E-R Executive Partner mentorship network, dynamic guest speakers, pitch competitions, and academic courses, students build the confidence, creativity, and strategic thinking needed to launch ventures that matter. Students are supported every step of the way as values-driven innovators who shape the future with insight, integrity, and initiative.
