In 1940, it was founded by the Congregation of Christian Brothers and today offers more than 60 bachelor's programs and 40 minors. Iona is comprised of the School of Arts & Science and the LaPenta School of Business. In addition, the institution has approximately 4,000 undergraduate and graduate students enrolled in it.</span></span></span><br/><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span id="docs-internal-guid-4472d48c-7fff-bb83-fb94-ed2f2a5d2e4b"><span style="color: rgb(29, 33, 38); font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">About the Hynes Institute for Entrepreneurship & Innovation</span></span></span></span>
<span style="font-size:small;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span id="docs-internal-guid-4472d48c-7fff-bb83-fb94-ed2f2a5d2e4b"><span style="color: rgb(29, 33, 38); font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">The Hynes Institute for Entrepreneurship & Innovation was established in 2017 due to a generous $15 million gift to Iona from James Hynes, '69, '01H, and Anne Marie Hynes. The Hynes Institute is an emerging force that strives to prepare the future generation of entrepreneurs, innovators, and leaders to move the world. It also ensures that students develop the knowledge, skills, and experience necessary to create, lead, and innovate in an ever-changing global economy.</span></span></span><br/><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span id="docs-internal-guid-4472d48c-7fff-bb83-fb94-ed2f2a5d2e4b"><span style="color: rgb(29, 33, 38); font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">At the Hynes Institute for Entrepreneurship & Innovation, their mission is “to create and foster an interdisciplinary community of Iona students who engage in entrepreneurial learning opportunities to develop an entrepreneurial mindset."</span></span></span><br/><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span id="docs-internal-guid-4472d48c-7fff-bb83-fb94-ed2f2a5d2e4b"><span style="color: rgb(29, 33, 38); font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">The Hynes Institute also includes GaelVentures, the start-up incubator space, which was created to “support student programming at Iona College and to serve the New Rochelle and greater Westchester area as a resource for its local entrepreneurship and business ecosystem.” GaelVentures is temporarily the home of the Hynes Institute and is the physical space for the majority of curricular and co-curricular programming. In the future, “the venue will look to give start-up support, mentorship, and funding to entrepreneurs in the student and community incubator.”</span></span></span><br/><br/><br/><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span id="docs-internal-guid-4472d48c-7fff-bb83-fb94-ed2f2a5d2e4b"><span style="color: rgb(29, 33, 38); font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Promoting Student Innovation and Entrepreneurship</span></span></span></span>

<span style="font-size:small;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span id="docs-internal-guid-4472d48c-7fff-bb83-fb94-ed2f2a5d2e4b"><span style="color: rgb(29, 33, 38); font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">With the LaPenta School of Business being one of the more prominent schools at Iona, often, it's easier for students to intertwine their business mindsets/endeavors with entrepreneurship and innovation. However, outside of the business school, there are departments in which an entrepreneurial mindset is also encouraged such as in the School of Arts and Science. Iona also offers a wide selection of courses that can be a foundational step for the student innovative process. With an entrepreneurial approach, one can use the skills learned from E&I courses to innovate within their chosen field.</span></span></span></span>

Being less than 22 miles from Midtown Manhattan, world-class internships and job opportunities are within reach as well as opportunities outside of New York City. The opportunities at Iona College are limitless and with an entrepreneurial mindset, one can take advantage of Iona’s resources and embark on a journey to success.</span></span></span></span>
