About

The Entrepreneurship program is seeking to launch a student “venture capital” fund to support the first Accelerator class—where students don’t just learn about business, but actually start one. These funds will provide seed capital to help student-run ventures get off the ground, begin generating revenue, and turn ideas into real-world businesses.

Thank you to Scott Lingle for making a lead gift of $5,000 to this project!

Day of Giving provides an opportunity for any size gift to help us move toward fully funding this initiative, equipping students with hands-on experience, ownership, and the confidence to build something meaningful from the ground up.

If you believe in empowering the next generation of entrepreneurs to take risks, create value, and lead with innovation, please consider investing in this fund with a gift.

1 Day. 1 Mission. $1 Million.

*If we don't hit our goal, we will wait until the project is fully funded.
