DISCOVER ELON ENTREPRENEURS
All the latest by the innovative Elon community, students and alumni alike
Home: Welcome
A LETTER FROM THE DIRECTOR
We love all of our students and alumni who are engaging in ventures large and small. From initiatives that have a social focus to traditional startup ventures to our creative class of students, it is inspiring to see the innovative work that our students are doing at Elon and beyond.
We want to use this Elon Entrepreneur showcase to highlight some of the small business ventures of our students. They form a class of creatives that address customized shopping experiences from jewelry and art to clothing and more unusual items.
With this showcase, we celebrate the Doherty Center's mission to support, accelerate, and honor our creative entrepreneurs! If you're interested in supporting any of these student-led businesses please visit them on their own website or reach out to the students by email.
We hope that you will enjoy their work as much as we do!
-Alyssa Martina, Director of the Doherty Center
