The Larry and Barbara Sharpf Entrepreneurship & Innovation Workshop is an immersive, experience-driven program that helps students translate their entrepreneurship education into real-world insight, skills, and career pathways. Throughout the Workshop, students engage directly with founders, venture studios, investors, incubators, and corporate innovators—building a professional network while learning how entrepreneurial ecosystems actually operate.
Students participate in hands-on experiences such as site visits, networking events, guest speakers, and mentoring engagements. They don’t just learn entrepreneurial concepts—they practice them so that they can develop the confidence, mindset, and connections needed to pursue opportunities in startups, innovation roles, and venture creation.
Designed for students majoring in Entrepreneurship & Corporate Innovation, the Workshop prepares emerging innovators for a wide range of professional directions—from launching a new venture to contributing meaningfully inside a fast-growing startup or innovation-focused organization.
