Event Details
Come see the work of black, brown and economic diverse founders. Support those who are building new ideas into business...
On Wednesday, Dec 11 from 12-2PM, BMCC student startups from this semester's Small Business Entrepreneurship courses will present their companies to the entire Tribeca community, in a celebration of entrepreneurship.
The entrepreneurs still have much work to do, and they each have taken very different paths to starting a business but the event, known as the Student Entrepreneur Fair, is an opportunity to recognize the progress they’ve made so far. Community leaders, entrepreneurs and faculty mentors are coming support these student/alumni innovators.
“Today is my favorite day of the year,” said Shane Snipes, PhD, coordinator of the BMCC Entrepreneurship Degree. “This is a culmination of what happens at BMCC in the field of entrepreneurship. There’s many different resources and things going on to help student founders, and on Dec 11 we will see bright ideas from all those different places. We should celebrate the students and alumni, and you should save the programs from the event, because these companies are going to do amazing things.”
Started in 2004, BMCC Entrepreneurship is a 2-year associate program which upon completion connects seamlessly to the CUNY BA 4-year degree. The program currently has 166 active students. It is the largest college entrepreneurship program for people of diverse socioeconomic and cultural backgrounds in the northeast.
