The Entrepreneurial Club is recognized by the Bucknell Student Government and falls under the umbrella of Campus Activities and Programs. The
group articulates a mission to “promote an entrepreneurial mindset on Bucknell’s campus through interaction with other similarly minded organizations and through providing opportunities for students to collaborate with one another over the topic.” The Club’s activities include bringing entrepreneurs to campus to speak to students.
'''Bucknell Business Leaders'''
Bucknell Business Leaders is an ambitious student run organization that provides
students with real-life business experiences. Every semester, Bucknell Business
Leaders will brainstorm, research, design, order, and sell at least one product that
hopefully a wide range of Bucknellians will love. Participation in this organization will give
students a glimpse of many aspects of a real business: product research and design,
finance, marketing, advertising, sales, and teamwork. Students who participate in this
campus organization, management and non-management majors, will not only learn a
great deal about business but have lots of fun.
'''Venture Plan Competition'''
A competition offered for undergraduate students to promote entrepreneurship and new ventures. The competition was started in 2009 at Bucknell University and has awarded more than $17,000 to students creating new ventures. Students participating in the competition are responsible for creating a full written Venture Plan and have an opportunity to present it to a panel of seasoned judges that come from a variety of
backgrounds including start-ups, business strategy, and venture capital.
Venture Plan Competition offers students a complementary and expanded experience to the pitch competition and pits Bucknell students against students from Keystone Innovation Zone (KIZ) partner institutions Bloomsburg and Susquehanna Universities. This competition is currently organized by the Greater Susquehanna KIZ.
