This First-Year Seminar invites students to think critically about important questions regarding entrepreneurship: What is an entrepreneur? What role do entrepreneurs play in the economy? What makes an entrepreneur tick? Can everyone be an entrepreneur? What are the virtues of an entrepreneur? What does it take to encourage entrepreneurship in a modern economy? What are some of the moral challenges entrepreneurs face? How do they, and how should they, meet these challenges? Students learn how entrepreneurs are the main agents of change in a modern, global economy and confront the responsibilities that come with being such agents.
“My experiences at Georgetown have maximized my education in countless areas, both in the classroom and in the business world. The startup companies that we have met with have been amazing! We have been given countless networking opportunities and formed relationships that will be very beneficial moving forward.”
COMPASS FELLOWS The Compass Fellowship, supported by the Kenneth Cole Foundation, is a global family of young social innovators supported by mentors. The fellowship is a one-year program that inspires first-year undergraduates to start a social venture and solve world problems with socially conscious businesses.

ENTREPRENEURSHIP
Entrepreneurs and innovators are shaping the world around us every day. At Georgetown’s McDonough School of Business, our goal is to prepare students to identify challenges, create innovative solutions, and contribute to positive change on local and global levels.
“Our students explore innovation from many different perspectives and observe firsthand the unique challenges that entrepreneurs face. They develop the skills and mindset needed to launch and scale new businesses or social ventures, and they display an eagerness to embrace the world’s most pressing problems.” —DANIELA BRANCAFORTE, Assistant Dean, Undergraduate Program, and Co-Director, Entrepreneurship Fellows Program
“Part of what distinguishes Georgetown is our emphasis on experiential learning. By working closely with entrepreneurs, our students learn the different issues that startups face as new and rapidly evolving entities. We help them understand what it means to be an entrepreneur, whether they launch their own venture, join a startup team, or drive innovation within an established organization.” —ALYSSA LOVEGROVE, Associate Director, Entrepreneurship Initiative, and Co-Director, Entrepreneurship Fellows Program
“Entrepreneurship is both a mindset and profession. Georgetown University is a leader in providing entrepreneurship exposure, education, and engagement to its students. As a Jesuit institution these courses of study allow students to truly understand and practice the role of business in service to society.” —MELISSA L. BRADLEY, Professor of the Practice and Faculty Advisor, Social Venture Lab
Entrepreneurship Fellows Program Undergraduates who want to learn what it takes to be a successful entrepreneur may apply in their sophomore year to become an Entrepreneurship Fellow. Students selected will learn how to craft a new venture idea while developing the skills and mindset needed to succeed in a startup environment. The program includes classroom and extracurricular experiences, with an emphasis on firsthand experiential learning, and culminates with the StartupHoyas Challenge. PROGRAM REQUIREMENTS • STRT 280: Foundations of Entrepreneurship (3 credits) • STRT 295: Launching the Venture (3 credits) • MGMT 208: Entrepreneurial Practicum, which consists of at least 120 hours of supervised practical work (3 credits) • StartupHoyas Challenge business pitch competition Business students also are required to complete ACCT 101: Accounting I, while non-business students must complete ACCT 001: Principles of Accounting.

“The Entrepreneurship Fellows Program inspired me to pursue my entrepreneurial aptitude across the Georgetown community. From the pitch competitions to networking sessions, this program offers students the perfect platform to engage with entrepreneurship and develop the necessary skills to be successful in the field.” ―NAZ YAVUZ (B ’17)
“The Entrepreneurship Fellows Program at Georgetown taught me invaluable skills for the startup world, and the internship component of the program turned into a full-time job.” ―MICHAEL STROUP (B ’15)
StartupHoyas and Pitch Competitions THE GEORGETOWN ENTREPRENEURSHIP INITIATIVE AND STARTUPHOYAS Washington, D.C., has become one of the country’s fastestgrowing entrepreneurship communities, providing students with the opportunity to explore entrepreneurship both on and off campus.

“The Entrepreneurship Fellows Program taught me the skills to become a better entrepreneur and, more importantly, introduced me to the many amazing, talented, and generous women and men in the D.C. tech and Georgetown entrepreneurship communities. It was through them that I was able to cut my teeth on entrepreneurship and ultimately pursue my startup, Riide, full time after graduation.” ―JEFF STEFANIS (B ’13), Co-founder and CEO, Riide

This First-Year Seminar invites students to think critically about important questions regarding entrepreneurship: What is an entrepreneur? What role do entrepreneurs play in the economy? What makes an entrepreneur tick? Can everyone be an entrepreneur? What are the virtues of an entrepreneur? What does it take to encourage entrepreneurship in a modern economy? What are some of the moral challenges entrepreneurs face? How do they, and how should they, meet these challenges? Students learn how entrepreneurs are the main agents of change in a modern, global economy and confront the responsibilities that come with being such agents.
“My experiences at Georgetown have maximized my education in countless areas, both in the classroom and in the business world. The startup companies that we have met with have been amazing! We have been given countless networking opportunities and formed relationships that will be very beneficial moving forward.”
COMPASS FELLOWS The Compass Fellowship, supported by the Kenneth Cole Foundation, is a global family of young social innovators supported by mentors. The fellowship is a one-year program that inspires first-year undergraduates to start a social venture and solve world problems with socially conscious businesses.
