The resources offered by the school and community were not well laid out or even known so CCE was created to help facilitate students with the resources they need. The organization also aims to teach their members through workshops in pitching, business modeling, design thinking, and lean startup.
=== School of Business Administration Entrepreneurship Bootcamp ===
The School of Business Administration (SoBA) currently holds an annual, one-day workshop called Entrepreneurship Bootcamp. During the 10-long event, participants learn entrepreneurship fundamentals in a seminar-style environment. Additionally, the students engage in a variety of activities to foster soft-skills, creative thinking, and team development. Subsequently, the participants form into teams and have around three hours to ideate, conduct market research, and develop a business plan. The event culminates in a pitch competition judged by business professors, deans, and the visiting speakers. Small prizes are given to the winning team and all students receive a certificate of participation. This event is restricted to students enrolled in SoBA.
