With a more than 35-year history of preparing students for entrepreneurial success, the faculty and staff in the Center for Entrepreneurship serve as advisers, mentors and collaborators for thousands of students taking entrepreneurship classes. They connect students with a local, national and global network from day one. The center also hosts university-wide competitions like 3-2-1 Quick Pitch, 48-Hour Challenge and the New Venture Competition—one of the world's longest-running business plan competitions and offers cohort-based scholarship programs like the Entrepreneurship Catalysts for first-year students and the Nebraska Entrepreneurship Accelerator. The classes, competitions, events and programs are open to any major to explore entrepreneurial potential.
"The center is fortunate to have a strong relationship with many alumni and business professionals throughout Nebraska and beyond, including a group of more than 60 Community Fellows who enrich the student experience through mentoring, speaking in classes and judging competitions," Nelson said. "Nebraska graduates founded Hudl, Home Instead and Opendorse to name a few. Alums also serve as CEOs of national companies like Lincoln Industries, Nelnet and Resort Lifestyle Communities. All of them chose to be home based in Nebraska."
