Florida Atlantic University has one of the top business programs around the country, but if you ever felt like the classroom was failing to give you "real life" experience, fear not. FAU MBA student and University of Florida Accounting Major, Hayden Trepeck was inspired to start a club at the University of Florida called the "Gator Creators", as well as FAU, and now a program. "We believe that there is more to an education then sitting in a classroom, memorizing formulas and taking exams. We are here to facilitate out of the classroom learning focused on entrepreneurship and the entrepreneurial spirit," said Trepeck.
The Adams Center for Entrepreneurship (ACE) has been listed as Business Week's top 50 entrepreneurship programs nationally. ACE strives to engage students and the south Florida community in the spirit of entrepreneurship. The mission of the program is to create entrepreneurial leaders that find sustainable solutions to economic and social problems. The goal is to prepare student of all majors, ages, and even just local entrepreneurs who are looking to become entrepreneurs.
"The growing popularity of new venture creation has led many students to seek concurrent skills by pursuing the entrepreneurial spirit," says Trepeck. "We aim to serve this unmet need by providing not only a prominent and diverse speaker series, but perhaps more importantly a strong network of like-minded individuals from which value will be added to all members."
The Entrepreneurship Club is open to all students and meets every Tuesday at 6:45 pm.
