ENTREPRENEURSHIP THRIVES WITH DIVERSITY
SPRING 2022 Newsletter
A NOTE FROM NATHALIE
The end of the academic year is a wonderful time to reflect on the successes of our students and instructors. By the end of the spring semester, as we returned to a sense of normality, we were thankful to our students and instructors for pivoting when it was required. This allowed us to continue to be successful in delivering the entrepreneurial knowledge and skills graduates need through uncertain times. We were also able to continue to engage students in internships, competitions, and networking with guest speakers from diverse backgrounds and experiences.
Entrepreneurship comes in many forms – small businesses, scalable startups, and social ventures. Similarly, entrepreneurs come from diverse backgrounds, each with unique stories that we try to highlight through this newsletter and through social media. The Certificate in Entrepreneurship and Innovation Program is committed to contributing to an ecosystem that is open and accessible to everyone who is inspired by entrepreneurship.

It was then that she noticed that when students transition from one secondary school to another, they were not able to get their academic transcripts in a timely fashion, and as a result, wound up being credit deficient or ineligible for a lot of classes.
