Spring/Summer 2019 NACCE Journal
Welcome to the spring issue of Community College Entrepreneurship. The theme of the issue mirrors NACCE’s recently published book, Community Colleges as Incubators of Innovation: Unleashing Entrepreneurial Opportunities for Communities and Students, published in
February 2019 by Stylus LLC. Much of this issue’s focus is on entrepreneurial ecosystems driven by creativity and innovation.
For instance, Middlesex Community College is driving innovation through its intensive new certificate program “Launch Your Business Now (LYBN),” designed for student entrepreneurs to meet a particular need in the region’s entrepreneurship education market. Global entrepreneurship is opening the door to new opportunities for NACCE members, including new, full immersion travel grants for educators to India. And, author and entrepreneur Ted Dintersmith weighs in on how community colleges can better equip students with the twenty-first century skills they need and employers want.
