Activate the Entrepreneurial Mindset
Ciocca Center for Innovation and Entrepreneurship is where ideas are explored, shaped, and launched.
Rooted in the Entrepreneurial Mindset - a way of thinking that transforms ideas into action and challenges into opportunity - SCU Innovation & Entrepreneurship is grounded in empathy, courage, and a readiness to navigate uncertainty. We create meaningful, long-term value and serve as a launchpad for purposeful growth.
Students from every major engage with Silicon Valley founders, alumni, VCs and industry leaders through programs and experiences - including Mindset Scholars, Innovation Fellows, Venture Virtuoso, Idea Lab, B.E.A.C.H., Prep School, Student Advisory Board, and the Bronco Ventures Accelerator. Through this campus-wide ecosystem, students gain the tools, connections, and confidence to move ideas forward.

- Experiential programs across disciplines
- Founder stipends and pitch competition awards
- Prototype and seed funding
- Industry engagement, events, conferences, and networking opportunities
On Day of Giving, we celebrate the community that sustains this work and keeps it accessible to All.
