Clarence E. Harris Entrepreneurial Forum
The Clarence E. Harris Entrepreneurial Forum is conducted every year by the Harris Chair to promote dialogue and interaction between students, faculty and entrepreneurs. Each year since 1996, a group of 9-12 entrepreneurs is invited to campus for a half-day program. Participants both interact informally with students and faculty, and conduct a panel discussion.
The
breakfast kick-off session is designed to provide one-on-one interaction
with the entrepreneur at breakfast. Generally, over 250 students
and faculty attend this event. After the breakfast, entrepreneurs
participate in three breakout panel discussions, with an overall
theme and a moderator. This aspect of the program promotes a comparison
in entrepreneurial perspectives and some lively discussion among
the panelists. Students and faculty are welcome to ask questions
and participate in the debate. This event is scheduled each Fall
semester.
