Entrepreneurial action is for everyone—not just those who want to start a company or invent a product.
With education in innovation and entrepreneurship, students become better critical observers. They become more creative, able to generate novel solutions to difficult problems. They become more disciplined, more resourceful, and more inclined to take action. They become more likely and better able to affect meaningful change.
Duke Innovation & Entrepreneurship inspires and empowers students to act entrepreneurially in all their endeavors. InE serves students across Duke, connecting them to courses, co-curricular programs, mentoring, resources, community, and intellectual leadership.Participation in Duke InE is open to visiting students from DKU within its ecosystem this coming fall, and there are multiple ways in which students can participate in the program.
Through this Duke Social InE Info Session for DKU visting students, officials in the organization led by the Director Prof. Matthew T.A. Nash, look to disseminate information on various ways students can meaningfully engage with the organization during their time at Duke this coming Fall and beyond. Visiting students this fall will find the session useful as they prepare to register for classes at Duke for the Fall and Spring Semester.
We are looking forward to your attendance!
