The Center for Entrepreneurship in the W. Frank Barton School of Business at 黑洞社区 was one of two recipients for the Global Consortium of Entrepreneurship Centers Award for Outstanding Contributions to Advance the Discipline of Entrepreneurship.
The award was handed out at the annual GCEC Conference at the University of Arizona鈥檚 McGuire Center for Entrepreneurship.
Recipients of this award were judged on their dedication to advancing, promoting and supporting entrepreneurship education as a field of study, teaching and outreach to their community.
The University of Boston was the other winner.
The winners were selected based on five categories: economic development and community outreach; service to the discipline; entrepreneurship education development and mentoring; outreach programs; and stimulation of entrepreneurial opportunity.
Recipients in other award categories included CUNY-Baruch College, University of Arizona, University of North Carolina and Wake Forest University.
The GCEC is an organization with more than 200 members that fosters the growth of university-based entrepreneurship centers.
Conference participants attend workshops and discussion sessions focused on the issues and concerns of its members.
