Comparable Programs to McNair Center

Description

Taylor Jacobe is looking into other universities that have programs similar to that of what we do at the McNair Center, specifically with our blog. THis is in the hopes that we can establish connections with these other universities and learn from them and share info.

Findings

Duke Innovation and Entrepreneurship

Their news website, https://entrepreneurship.duke.edu/about/news/, is similar to our blog. However, it seems that they only have one or two writers for the blog, and they are not undergrads. Katie Jansen is their main writer as of 1/20/2017: https://entrepreneurship.duke.edu/associate/katie-jansen-2/. Maybe look into contacting her?

UCLA

UCLA's Entrepreneurship Association has a blog at http://www.entrepreneurassociation.net/newsite/category/blog/. Their blog features an "Entrepreneur of the Month" every month. Could contact at ea@anderson.ucla.edu. Can't tell if their posts are written by undergrads or grad because they are all just attributed to the Entrepreneurship Association.

NYU Entrepreneur's Blog

http://entrepreneur.nyu.edu/blog/. They seem to be written partially by undergrads and partially by employees (very similar to us). Looks like they get posts out about every 3-5 days. Maybe we can collaborate or try to learn from them?

University of Michigan Entrepreneurship Student Voice

At http://cfe.umich.edu/category/stories/the-student-voice/. Strange because it says all of their posts were published on August 30, 2016 while many of the posts seem like they must have been published earlier. The dates may have been changed? Nonetheless, this is UMichigan's forum for undergrads to write about entrepreneurship. It is also linked to their engineering school.

What can we take from these?

• Entrepreneur of the Month posts
• Put recommendations in our blog for books and studies that people should look at
• Could we partner more with the business school? Many entrepreneurship centers at other schools seem to be doing that
