About Us

“I can learn a lot about business in the classroom, but I wanted to also ‘learn by doing.’ The Entrepreneurs’ Society gives students like me the upper edge in preparing to work for, or even start, a successful, forward-thinking company.”

Chris, Class of ‘05


What is the Entrepreneurs’ Society?

The mission of the Entrepreneurs’ Society is to unify enterprising students into a campus-wide membership organization that will promote, support and incubate creativity and innovation through the use of community resources and relevant activities

The Entrepreneurs’ Society was created by the Institute for Entrepreneurial Excellence (IEE) to help regional businesses by developing the next generation of enterprising professionals and leaders.

Businesses want employees who act like owners. Enterprising employees focus on taking what “is” and making it better. They understand what motivates people. They are curious about business functions – technology, marketing, finance, operations, sales – that may not directly impact their own work.

Students who join the Entrepreneurs’ Society hone these critical skills and position themselves for lifelong success.
