February 24 - March 3, 2007
Every great invention, movement, or accomplishment begins with a
single idea that someone had the courage to put into action. At UMBC’s
Alex. Brown Center for Entrepreneurship, faculty and students are empowered
to act upon their ideas, organize and manage their implementation and carry
them through.
Interested in learning more about how UMBC is expanding entrepreneurship
programs across the campus? UMBC is joining hundreds of other colleges,
