<span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif">Entrepreneurship as a field of study at colleges and universities across the U.S. and around the world. Entrepreneurship has become a leading subject at the undergraduate and graduate level. With this increased attention, it is more important than ever to give students the opportunities to network not only with their student peers, but with fellow entrepreneurs in the business world to promote entrepreneurship at all levels and in all environments. This is where CEO comes in.<br/></span>
<span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif">The 1970s saw the inception, development and growth of a new and exciting field of study in business and higher education – entrepreneurship. During this time, very few universities offered coursework for students. Students interested in becoming entrepreneurs had very few resources, opportunities and outlets to help them reach their entrepreneurial dreams and goals. No national student organization served this interest either.</span>
= Purpose<br/> =
<span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif">To inform, support and inspire college students to be entrepreneurial and seek opportunity through enterprise creation.<br/></span>

<span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 12px">[[File:Texst.JPG|thumb|none|Texst.JPG]]</span>Having a CEO chapter on campus provides the university with a way to get their name out and promote entrepreneurship among students. This is especially helpful to schools that may not have dedicated business departments, providing the other departments with a way to commercialize their designs.</span>
