The Center provides leadership programs and resources that enable NSU to add value to businesses served while immersing students in the entrepreneurial experience. Through multidisciplinary teams, the Center extends knowledge and technical assistance that strengthen and expand the number and quality of minority- and women-owned, growth-oriented, and technology-driven businesses.

Students are encouraged to participate in the activities, programs, and initiatives of the Center. The Center creates varied opportunities for students to participate through membership on consulting teams and internships. Experiential learning complements academic preparation by deepening and enriching students’ understanding of entrepreneurship and ownership. This experience and the insights gained serve to build confidence and stimulate the entrepreneurial spirit.
