<\/p>\n Student entrepreneurs sell their products during a Clark Collective Pop-Up event in Red Square earlier this fall.\n

<\/p>\n

The Global Consortium of Entrepreneurship Centers<\/a> (GCEC), a leadership organization for university entrepreneurship programs, has recognized the Clark University<\/a> School of Management’s<\/a> Entrepreneurship and Innovation Program<\/a> (E&I) as one of the premier university-based programs in the country.<\/p>\n

Clark is one of only 20 entrepreneurship centers or programs — out of 65 nominees in 10 categories — honored by the GCEC this year; Clark’s program was recognized for outstanding student engagement and leadership among schools with fewer than 5,000 students.<\/p>\n

“We are thrilled to see our E&I Program highlighted by the GCEC with this prestigious award,” says Alan Eisner, dean of the School of Management. “Clark’s entrepreneurial students are a truly impressive group, and it has been exciting to see how the program’s growth has impacted both Clark and our surrounding community.”<\/p>\n

The award recognizes Clark for high levels of student engagement, exceptional student leadership, and breadth of student activities in its entrepreneurship programming<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Under the guidance of the School of Management and E&I program manager Teresa Quinn, the program has expanded its offerings for the 2021–22 year<\/a>. Programming now includes the annual Clark Tank competition (formerly the Ureka Challenge); the Clark Collective, which brings together Clark students’ small businesses; the new Trans Collective, providing a safe and inclusive shopping experience for the LGBTQAI+ community; Community Thrift ’n Flip — previously known as the Clark Community Thrift Store, serving Clark University and the area Worcester community; the student-run Clark Entrepreneurship Club and the Center for Technology, Innovation, and Entrepreneurship (TIE); and the new Food Combi, which brings student-created foods to campus and the community.<\/p>\n

The GCEC is a consortium of leading university entrepreneurship programs across the United States that collaborate toward advancing excellence in entrepreneurship programming and initiatives. The consortium comprises more than 250 member centers.<\/p>\n
