The structure of the WittEntrepreneurs Program is intended to place as much authority and responsibility as possible in the hands of Wittenberg students – in terms of both management and governance. Nevertheless, we recognize that student entrepreneurs and teams can benefit greatly from sound advice from mentors with relevant experience and a willingness to help.
The WittEntrepreneurs and Village Markets of Africa alliance is entrepreneurship education that takes action and makes a difference.It creates experiences that go far beyond the classroom and into the international landscape, while being a catalyst for positive change in the world.
What are Witt students saying about their experience?
"Being a new student, I have had a great experience getting involved in WittEntrepreneurs. In the beginning of the year, I jumped right in and became Inventory Manager. While this was a big responsibility, it also helped me really understand what the group was about. In the past few months, I have learned so much by working with Village Markets of Africa and have been able to apply some of what I have learned in class." ~Jenna Gentner '14
The WittEntrepreneurs Program has created several opportunities to get involved with wonderful ventures as well as the ability to start your own beginning your Junior year. Below you will find references to many of those opportunities and how you can start.
Wittenberg’s curriculum currently includes four classes in different aspects of entrepreneurship. Each of these classes is designed to add value to students in any major.
What is it that you truly care about? What’s your passion? Imagine a program that allows you to take those things, paint a vision of the change you could make and help design a path to achieve it.
