Why Entrepreneurship Society?

"I was introduced to the Notre Dame Entrepreneurship Society by Jaime Urquijo and Bob Huguelet, my close friends. They convinced me to attend a few meetings and I instantly fell in love with the club and its members. I remember being amazed at how much effort the clubs members put into this particular extracurricular, and how they managed to keep such a relaxed and friendly atmosphere in the process. I really should thank Bob and Jaime, because many of my closest friends are in the club, and I've derived a significant amount of enjoyment from the freedom the society gives me to turn my dreams into realities."
