WWU's Entrepreneurship & Innovation Programs
Passion-Purpose-Profession: Investing in Entrepreneurial & Innovative Student Leaders

We say entrepreneurs and innovators discover opportunities and bring people and resources together to make change happen in the world.

Wow- what a year! Amidst challenges and trials, our students have done amazing work and developed and grown as entrepreneurs and innovators. Our community has risen to meet challenges with innovation, excitement and mentorship. We’ve been able to support each other through what has been a most challenging year. And, we’ve done so with excellence.  This is all to the credit of a vibrant community with significant opportunities for student leadership roles. These are all made possible through your generous support. Thank you! 

This Give Day we are asking for your support for our Culture of Belonging and Fellows Programs--focused on student leadership, mentorship and deep engagement. WWU's Entrepreneurship and Innovation Program is the Birthplace of Human-Centered Entrepreneurship and Innovation Education. (HCEI&E)  We focus our teaching on what the students need to grow into flourishing in whatever walks of life where they choose to act in entrepreneurial and innovative ways. 


This has been the most engaging, most impactful, inspirational, and relevant class I have ever taken at Western. THANK YOU!! 


I really appreciate The people I've met, the amazing minds I've gotten to collaborate with, and the trust from the faculty to allow us to pursue our personal passions!

Since last year, we've taken generous donor investments to take our student development to the next level.  It’s our hope to be able to support more outstanding students who are contributing to our community. 

 Every amount you donate up to $10,000 will be matched!  So your $5=$10, $500=$1000, $5000=$10,000!  Every dollar counts no matter how big or small so please join in supporting our amazing students! Thanks to David Cole for making this possible.
