What:

University Entrepreneurship Summit

Hosted by:

Elon University - Doherty Center for Entrepreneurial Leadership

Wake Forest University - Angell Center for Entrepreneurship

Why:

There are numerous entrepreneurship education programs and activities at universities and colleges throughout North Carolina.  Communication between the various programs/activities is ad hoc and sporadic.  Many operate in isolation while addressing issues common to all.  Awareness, communication and collaboration on a broad scale will create greater efficiencies, synergy and increased qualitative output. 

This one day summit will be a gathering of the leaders of North Carolina university/college initiatives in the area of entrepreneurship.   Leaders will include faculty, staff and students.

The objective of the summit is to share best practices, exchange ideas, form collaborations and to develop better integrated strategies.
