The Entrepreneurship & Innovation Program,<\/a> led by Ja-Nae Duane, provides students the <\/span><\/span>opportunity to utilize and build upon their liberal arts education while learning the fundamentals of starting a venture and keeping a company relevant in this fast-changing world.\u00a0 The new Certificate of Entrepreneurship offered through the Ciocca Center for Business, Ethics, and Society provides students with comprehensive and structured programming to acquire technical business skills and experiences.<\/p>\n

The Incubator started in 2018 with two student entrepreneurs, Paul Wiley \u201920 and Joe Egan ’19. They currently have over 40 members and work with 4 different student ventures. Their goal is to teach the entrepreneurial method across campus which in turn will allow students to make their business dreams a reality as a part of the E&I programming.<\/p>\n
