To cultivate a culture of entrepreneurship at Bentley
Entrepreneur of the Month
The Entrepreneur-of-the-Month (EOTM) initiative is aimed at celebrating the successes of our alumni entrepreneurs, building new bridges, and bringing these lessons to the Bentley community. Each month, the E-Hub will develop a conversation with an alum - and post an article on social media to capture the moment. In most cases, the alum speaks to their Bentley experience, their entrepreneurial journey, and how the Bentley experience has shaped their journey.
The E-Hub Alumni Mentor network consists of Bentley Alumni who have been successful entrepreneurs. As a part of this mentor network, they bring their expertise and wisdom to Bentley students and student teams who are trying to build their ventures. Each member of the Alumni Mentor network has particular expertise in one or more specific industry segments (such as healthcare or high-tech) or one or more aspects of entrepreneurship (such as market analysis or operations and scaling). Students can sign up to talk with alumni mentors directly.
The E-Hub team consists of an evolving group of graduate and undergraduate students. The work of the E-Hub team is coordinated by the director of the E-hub and a senior program assistant. The team works with a large number of internal stakeholders, including several individual faculty, the procurement office, academic affairs, the general counsel, student affairs, residence halls, faculty governance mechanisms and the university academic leadership such as committee chairs, department chairs, deans, provost and the president. The E-Hub team also coordinates its efforts with the office of advancement and works closely with a number of alumni who participate in the events, activities and initiatives launched and executed by the E-Hub.
