Changes

The Berthiaume Center for Entrepreneurship is currently housed within Isenberg, the Business School, making it difficult to market it to other colleges. Our goal in the next few months is to meet with the Chancellor of UMass to discuss the possibilities of hiring an Associate Vice Chancellor of Entrepreneurship. While the Berthiaume Center has been growing and evolving, the fact of the matter is that entrepreneurship is a multidisciplinary endeavor, and should be more central in the campus ecosystem. The location being housed in Isenberg, affects their ability to raise funds from other colleges because non-business alumni are unlikely to donate towards the business school. This could be changed with an expansion of the Berthiaume Center and the implementation of a Vice Chancellor of Entrepreneurship.

Having a Vice Chancellor will also streamline the process of student innovation being enacted upon, and further developed. With a fully operational Center for Entrepreneurship, UMass will soon be a top-tier University in terms of student innovation and new venture creation.
