Overview

Iona College is a private, four-year Catholic college in New Rochelle, NY. 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. The institution has approximately 4,000 undergraduate and graduate students enrolled in it.

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.

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."

Strategic Priorities 2019

Strategy #1 Academic Social Media

Develop a platform for Iona students to build relationships with each other and gain mentors through faculty and successful alumni.  It will be promoted through acceptance letters/emails, orientation, promotional events and fliers.  Students will then sign up to our schools platform to stay connected and receive support on their track towards their diploma.  This platform will be using an existing websige implemented by the Hynes Institute called startup tree.7
