Giving to the Certificate in Entrepreneurship and Innovation Program
Help Launch the Next Generation of Entrepreneurs
Making your way in the professional world takes perseverance and leadership ability. Through Purdue's Certificate in Entrepreneurship and Innovation Program, students in all majors are acquiring and putting into practice the skills necessary to pursue innovative ideas, whether they are launching their own company, working in a start up or spearheading new initiatives within a large company.
As alumni and friends of the Certificate Program, you play a key role in our development and success. We invite you to become involved through events, speaking, mentoring and giving opportunities through our new venture, the Collegiate Entrepreneurial Opportunities (CEO) Fund.
The creation of the CEO fund allows us to support student participation in entrepreneurial opportunities and events that are typically beyond their personal reach. We invite you to be a part of this fund and the opportunities it will provide by giving a gift.
Friends of the program, your support will allow us to continue to provide valuable resources to jumpstart our student entrepreneurs and will make an immediate impact on our students this year.
- Alums, we now look to you for support as we venture forward too. Your support will provide current students with opportunities you experienced in the Certificate Program.
