Entry Level Entrepreneurs: Making the leap

What are the questions commonly faced by budding entrepreneurs as they near the pinnacles of their academic careers? Should they dive into Entrepreneurship headfirst or focus on building a career?

Have you ever thought starting your own enterprise during or directly after school? Do you have fears of making the big leap? Please join the Entrepreneurs Club in 108 Snell on November 16th as we present a panel discussion to answer these questions and more!

The panelists engage the undergraduate students at Northeastern with relative perspectives from peers who have successfully taken the leap into Entrepreneurship. Come prepared to find inspiration and realize your own potential while learning about the calculated risks associated with making the decision to pursue entrepreneurial activities out of college.
