This week is Global Entrepreneurship Week, and Innovate Carolina is hosting a series of 11 events to help foster a culture of entrepreneurship and innovation on campus.
Innovate Carolina, a campuswide initiative, aims to support the curricular and co-curricular entrepreneurial activities of UNC’s faculty, students and graduates, said Sheryl Waddell, the director of the Innovate Carolina Global Network.
Through collaborating with programs such as the Kenan-Flagler Business School and the Shuford Program in Entrepreneurship, Innovate Carolina works to provide UNC students with the mindset and skills they need to enter the workforce. To create UNC’s unique innovative culture, Innovate Carolina also connects students to campus activities and resources such as BeAM@CAROLINA, CUBE and current student ventures or clubs.
“We’re looking to provide resources for them to create companies that will teach them critical problem solving,” Waddell said.
