5 Year Vision

  1. To be recognized campus-wide for recruiting and retaining the most well-rounded, forward thinking, and talented individuals at Notre Dame.
  2. To be able to retain over 100 members and to regularly host high profile events and speakers.
  3. To exponentially increase the visibility and support from the student level to the Gigot Center of Entrepreneurial Studies' Business Plan Competition.
  4. To develop an even more intimate and mutually beneficial relationship with the Center of Career Services.
  5. To establish and offer a formalized mentor, internship, and employment program for the Entrepreneurship Club members in the summer and after graduation.
  6. To host our own Entrepreneur Conference, where it hosts an event including keynote speakers, breakout sessions, and top universities Entrepreneurship chapters from around the country.
  7. To secure a significant endowment, allowing future generations to move the organization forward and carry on the tradition without any difficulty.
  8. To grow to maturity side by side as a brother/sister organization with ND SIFE, as both become two of the most notable undergraduate organizations on campus, if not the entire Midwest.
  9. To establish an Entrepreneurship Alumni Network, whereby an annual banquet and/or tailgate (perhaps the same weekend) can help current students get to know former members and build cohesiveness. Also, to send out a quarterly newsletter to all interested parties.
  10. To be as progressive and operate with as much precision as prominent MBA Entrepreneurship Chapters such as Harvard Business School's MBA Entrepreneur Club and Stanford's GSB Entrepreneur Club.
  11. To maintain the culture and traditions of the original group - carrying forward the mentality of the Entrepreneurship Club in making everyone around them better and spreading this "good news" in the name of all that is honorable.

Why Entrepreneurship Society?

"I believe the greatest aspect of Notre Dame is its people. I joined the to collaborate with some of the brightest minds in the school, and hopefully over time we can experience the struggles that come with starting an enterprise. I treasure the unique backgrounds each member brings to the club, and I believe these backgrounds can shape pioneering ideas that can change Notre Dame, if not the world."
