TCU’s Neeley Entrepreneurship Program http://www.nec.tcu.edu was named the 2011 National Model Undergraduate Entrepreneurship Program at the United States Association for Small Business and Entrepreneurship (USASBE) annual conference in South Carolina on Saturday, Jan. 15.
TCU’s winning presentation focused on how the Neeley Entrepreneurship Program offers comprehensive, unique opportunities for TCU undergraduate students through the Neeley School of Business as well as a campus-wide entrepreneurship initiative. Brad Hancock, director of the Neeley Entrepreneurship Center, Keith Hmieleski, professor of management and program director for the Neeley Entrepreneurship Program, and Smilor delivered the presentation.
“Our approach to entrepreneurship begins with helping students identify and develop their individual talents and core virtues, then synergistically put them into action to accomplish entrepreneurial endeavors,” said Hmieleski. “This enables our students to focus on their strengths in a way that enhances engagement in the learning process and allows them to function with an economy of means. In the end, it is our hope to place each of our students on a path toward a career and life of meaning. We believe that sets us apart.”
