The three pillars of Kettering Entrepreneurship Society (KES) are Mentoring, Networking and Funding. Students often have great ideas but lack the means. KES seeks to fill in the gap by providing valuable feedback, essential start-up funding, an interactive network and most important of all, the motivation. KES holds weekly meetings open to the entire student body and the faculty. Once a student receives a grant, he/she periodically updates the society on the progress of their projects. Students that are not physically present can also attend meetings virtually using WebEx.
