Entrepreneur in Residence
Funded by a grant from the prestigious Coleman Foundation, the Lubin School's Entrepreneur In Residence Program was created in the fall of 1998. The focus of the program is to bring students and faculty together with successful entrepreneurs to examine entrepreneurial experience as a basis for curricular development, as well as to further integrate academic studies with practical and experiential learning.
Entrepreneurs spend a day on campus with faculty, students and administrators sharing their personal experience as it relates to how they started their business ventures and the lessons learned in the process. In some instances, faculty and entrepreneurs have developed case studies about the entrepreneur's business so as to afford future students and faculty the benefit of the experience.
