Developing an Entrepreneurial Mindset
This spring, students in the Entrepreneurship Seminar developed business plans and
pitched products or services in a bid to win the endorsement of a panel of alumni judges. This yearlong, elective course, popular among upperclassmen, engages students with its “Shark Tank” vibe and guest speakers that include some of the school’s most successful
alumni, who are themselves entrepreneurs and industry leaders. Looking forward, school
leaders have a vision to expand the course into a new Entrepreneurship Program that will build on the current curriculum, emphasizing the importance of sustainability and social responsibility, and how to embrace Frederick Gunn’s entrepreneurial spirit today.
