The ANTrepreneur Center is an open door to any student on campus curious about entrepreneurship. Through an immersive and engaging experience, students are offered resources and support to guide them from ideation to creation to the building of an entrepreneurial mindset. The lifelong skills our students develop lead to success after graduation whether they join a startup, start their own business, or pursue a more traditional career.
But we can’t do it alone.
