Undergraduate senior and E&amp;I Program Intern, Jose Castro, who will be an honorary guest at the inaugural induction, did the research and convinced Quinn that the two of them could get the honor society created. Castro made the initial contact with executive director of Sigma Nu Tau, helped prepare the application, and identified E&amp;I\u2019s induction parameters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIf it weren\u2019t for Jose, I\u2019m not sure this would have happened,\u201d she states, admitting that the time required to get the chapter started was daunting for her, on top of her regular responsibilities as E&amp;I program manager and professor. \u201cDespite knowing that he would not make the grade to be inducted himself, Jose felt this was his way of giving back and initiating a legacy.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignright\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.clarku.edu\/school-of-business\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/39\/ENT-honor-society-group-scaled-1.jpg\" alt=\"Entrepreneurship students\" class=\"wp-image-3419\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Clark students Martina Villanueva, Melanie Adams, Derek Jones, Andrew Pimental, Sophie Phelan, and Alyosha Otogawa were the chapter\u2019s first members, inducted in a ceremony on May 12 on campus. All students are minoring in entrepreneurship (there is currently not entrepreneurship major at Clark), have earned a 3.6 or higher grade point average, and shown&nbsp;&nbsp; evidence of strong entrepreneurial spirit. Each will have a lifelong membership to the honor society, paid for by Clark, as well as enjoy members-only networking events. Faculty advisors for the honor society will be Quinn and entrepreneurship faculty member, Stacie Hargis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nancy Church, Sigma Nu Tau Entrepreneurship Honor Society founder and executive director, was on hand to \u201cinduct\u201d the full chapter, as well as meet and congratulate the new members. There was also an awards ceremony as part of the evening to recognize the outstanding achievement of select students in the E&amp;I program, including the Entrepreneur of the Year, Small Business of the Year, Up and Coming Entrepreneur of the Year, and the E&amp;I Department Award.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Clark alumna and entrepreneur Christina Bai, also a Clark Tank competition judge and funding donor, was the guest speaker.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>\u201cWe are thrilled to be able to more formally recognize the academic excellence of our outstanding student entrepreneurs through Sigma Nu Tau,\u201d Quinn added. \u201cI can\u2019t wait to see them proudly wearing their Sigma Nu Tau graduation cords at commencement.
