Any Student, Any Discipline, Any Time!

The Program for Entrepreneurship in the Liberal Arts at Wake Forest University helps students turn ideas into action, transforming "I wish I could" into "I know I can!" Our goal is to create and sustain an environment that fosters entrepreneurial thinking and action across the entire campus community. Through this effort, we seek to enlighten Wake Forest students in all disciplines about their individual and collective abilities, to encourage them to create their own pathways in life, and to use their entrepreneurial skills on behalf of their communities as well as societies throughout the world.
