Entrepreneurial Living-Learning - Fall Feast Social

-

On November 16, 2022, the Venture Lab hosted a Fall Feast for all ELC (Entrepreneurship Learning Community) students. A full spread turkey dinner was served while students in the ELC discussed better ways to collaborate and increase engagement.

ELC members who were asked why they initially joined said because of the convenient location, as most of their classes would be in Kyle Hall. They also explained that joining brought like-minded people together and they had an easy time meeting new people and making friends. 


The ELC students were most excited about having fun together through ice cream socials, hot cocoa nights, charades, and more. Members also loved the idea of Maker Monday activities like business-themed tie dye and paint nights. Another idea to get members more involved was to have prizes or a points system for the ELC events. 


The Venture Lab plans to host “fireside chats” with Entrepreneurial Alumni beginning in the Spring 2023 semester. ELC members said they want to meet people that are new to their career, rather than solely older, successful entrepreneurs. They want to better understand how to navigate those early years. ELC members want to ask questions like: 


  • What’s keeping their drive?

  • What does the transition from college to career look like?
