EOC - Entrepreneurs on Campus
EOC - Entrepreneurs on Campus is a platform for L&C students to engage with thought leaders and successful entrepreneurs and innovators from around the world in a series of co-curricular activities that emphasize entrepreneurial thinking and doing.
Through formal and informal events that are held in our eLab, on campus and throughout the community, the EOC platform provides students with access to first-hand experiences with groundbreaking entrepreneurs and innovators in a diverse range of fields. This allows students the opportunity to connect and engage with people whose ideas and work match their own interests and pursuits.
From the arts to technology, the sciences to social enterprises, the EOC platform promotes entrepreneurial principles and practices that aim to empower the liberal arts.
