Gilliam Center for Entrepreneurship

The Gilliam Center for Entrepreneurship is a space where ideas become real. Housed within the College of Business at Hartman Hall, we help students campuswide to connect their vision for a business or nonprofit venture with the steps necessary to bring it to life.

Any campus entrepreneur can apply for dedicated space, find expertise or pursue seed funding. At the GCFE you can set up a team, a structure and routine processes to execute your plan. Or find out what kind of plan you need and start working on it.

Take a look through our web pages, and see which of our offerings is right for you and your situation. From beginners to those seeking venture capital, we’ve created programs with you in mind.
