A new home for entrepreneurship at W&L
The Connolly Center has a new site, a blog and a monthly newsletter. Here's what's on it and where to start.
This is the new home of the Connolly Entrepreneurship Network: the students, alumni and faculty at W&L who build things.
We built it around one question we get every week: where do I start? The answer depends on what you’re trying to do, so Start here walks through it, from “I’m curious but don’t have an idea” to “I have a product I want to sell in the University Store.”
What’s new
- Start here. Straight answers to the questions students ask us most.
- The Maker portal now lives on this site. Same accounts, new address.
- This blog. Student ventures, what we’re learning, and what’s coming up.
- The Connolly Chronicle. One email a month. Students, alumni and parents all welcome.
What’s next
The Fall Video Pitch Competition is December 2, and the Entrepreneurship Summit is in winter term. Subscribe to the Chronicle and you’ll hear about both first.
If you’re an alum who wants to help, here’s how.
