Innovation & Entrepreneurship

Get Involved

If you want to accelerate innovation and help young entrepreneurs get off the ground, you're in the right place. You can share your experiences and help advance entrepreneurial training by working with us in a variety of ways:

  • Podcasts (or other interactive content)
  • Campus visits/guest critic
  • Funding

Entrepreneurs-In-Residence

Each year, Clark welcomes serial entrepreneurs to campus to inspire and lead the next generation as Entrepreneurs-In-Residence.

EIRs commit their time to the program in a range of ways–some teach a weekly course, others come to campus every month for a seminar, and others participate in guest lectures.

Sound like you? Send us your professional biography and statement of interest.

Podcasts

Maybe you want to share your perspective, but can't commit for an entire semester. Then consider working with our team to record a podcast in your area of expertise. It is a simple way to capture your thoughts and share them with Clarkies, prospective students and others who visit the I&E website. Our goal is to have an archive rich with podcasts from a variety of experts, entrepreneurs, leaders and innovators from international corporations, governmental agencies, education, non-profit organizations and more.

Send us an email, and we'll walk you through the process.

Campus Visits and Entre-tours

Clark University has a long-standing tradition of bringing outside experiences into the classroom; students thrive from the discussion of real-world application. Each semester, we bring in four to five experts from all fields and at all stages of entrepreneurial life.

We also organize a series of entre-tours–visits to local (Central and Eastern MA) organizations known for their start-up energy. Sounds like a fit? Let us know.

Funding

In addition to receiving funding from the Bose Foundation Incorporated, the I&E program is pleased to report financial support from a well-rounded group of business and non-profit leaders. To launch the program, seed money totaling approximately $60,000 has been raised. To take the program to the next level, including leading the pedagogy of entrepreneurship in the arts and social entrepreneurship, we are seeking additional funding.
