Your experience can make a lasting impact!
At CBUS, we believe learning happens best when classroom concepts meet real-world experience. By getting involved with the Center for Entrepreneurship, you help students build confidence, sharpen practical skills, and explore what’s possible beyond graduation. Whether you’re sharing insights, mentoring a team, or giving feedback on a big idea, your involvement helps students turn curiosity into capability, and ideas into action.
