Our entrepreneurial alumni form an impressive network across the United States and throughout the world. Undergraduate and MBA alumni are involved in every facet of entrepreneurship some are just starting their first business while others have grown and liquidated five or six ventures. They lend invaluable support to our undergraduate and MBA students' learning by acting as mentors, visiting campus as guest speakers, and providing domestic and international internships and consulting experiences. Kevin McCurdy '95 won the award in 1994 and is now president and CEO of NetOyster, Inc., an idea capital company that conceives, creates, and builds companies that use the Internet to create value. There is a constant synergy among our entrepreneurship programs and initiatives, and the energy and excitement is contagious.
Entrepreneurs think fast and act quickly.
They see opportunity where others see change. They take risks while others play it safe. Entrepreneurial ventures evolve at a dizzying pace a trend emerges, another wanes. Each day, entrepreneurs embark on exciting dynamic adventures with exhilarating rewards and discouraging losses. They make the business world go around.
