Dilemmas in Entrepreneurship Speaker Series

What:

Entrepreneurship answers are not clear cut. The diversity of situations and experiences make it hard to find the 'right answer'.

In partnership with the Small Business Development Center Illinois and the Turner Center for Entrepreneurship, we bring this discussion to Bradley in the form of a series of discussion panels with invited guests.

The free, open to the public series connects Bradley students with the Peoria business community in an innovative way. Together we address the most controversial topics in entrepreneurship.

Who:
