EMERGE@Simpson

What is planted together, grows together

 

CEO Class

EMERGE@Simpson is an opportunity to gain real-world entrepreneurial experiences in start up businesses and nonprofits.  Students, faculty, staff, alumni and business leaders collaborate to create new ventures that solve problems.

The program provides broad exposure to the activities that lead to successful venture formation, launch and operations.  Program participants explore new ideas, develop value propositions and validate business models.  Participants are also provided unique opportunities to apply their skills and education as a venture owner, team member or consultant for academic credit.

EMERGE@Simpson experiences demonstrate having initiative, applying critical thinking and an ability to collaborate to achieve common goals.  The program leverages these valuable skills developed within a liberal arts education by combining them with broad business development concepts.

Students may also receive recommendation letters that specify their level of participation in the program or its ventures.  And if a venture becomes commercially viable, ownership remains with its creators or can be launched in partnership with The Emerge Foundation.
