| How To Get Involved |
|
Entrepreneurship is a fascinating and exciting social dynamic that impacts all of us. There are three ways in which you can get involved: attending sponsored events, as an Associate, and as a Project Leader. Attending events Anyone can participate informally in sponsored events and activities. Announcements about open events and activities are regularly posted on campus, on our website, and through e-mail newsletters. In addition, the Wake Forest Entrepreneurship Society hosts several events throughout the year. Associates Any student at any year in any major can also become an Associate of the Center. Associates are students who wish to learn about aspects of entrepreneurship by attending educational seminars, sponsored speaker events, meet entrepreneurs in the community, and/or assist in the development of other students' new ventures. To join as an associate, each student should submit an Associate Application form to the Center's director. The application seeks basic information about the student's background, interests, and contact information. We require an application because members have access 24/7 to secured space and equipment in Kirby Hall. Download an Associate Application Form.

Project Leaders are students who propose and take the lead on the development of an approved new venture project. To be considered for a position of project leader, the student must submit a Project Application to the Center's Review Panel and participate in an interview about the proposed project. The Director and Review Panel will review the project proposal and make a decision on acceptance as an approved project. Each project leader must sign an Operation Agreement for any project approved by the directors and Review Panel.
