The SCSU STEM-RI Office works with a diverse array of companies and institutional partners to create fellowships and entrepreneurship opportunities for our students. Take a look below for some of our offered resources to learn more.
Entrepreneurship Initiative
The Entrepreneurship Initiative (EI) aims to build an inter-institutional ecosystem supporting Connecticut student entrepreneurs through the development of student growth and innovation. Under the Entrepreneurship Initiative, the School of Business at SCSU created an Entrepreneurship Minor Program designed to serve business and non-business students on the campus, connect the business communities and bring real-world challenges to the students via experiential/service-learning activities. The initiative provides a set of enriched extracurricular programs, such as entrepreneurship speaker series, business plan pitch competitions, and inter-institutional student entrepreneur mentoring series. Learn about our opportunities and learning programs.
STEM Entrepreneurship Club
The STEM Entrepreneurship’s purpose is to connect students of all majors, interested in entrepreneurship and innovation or in the STEM fields, with resources and opportunities on and off-campus to help develop skills, network, and explore academic and career paths.
