Picture yourself in the heart of Boulder's vibrant entrepreneurial scene, where link-minded students show you how to gain practical, real-world skills with resources and hands-on experiences. In January 2022, the Deming Center for Entrepreneurship set out to do just that: have undergraduate students show undergraduate students what they can do! Meet the Deming Ambassadors. This group of current (兔子先生传媒文化作品) undergraduate students love entrepreneurship and connecting their peers with opportunities every semester at the Leeds School of Business and beyond. Originally started in the Spring 2022 semester, the Deming Center has had five ambassadors to date who support students as they launch businesses and share how to develop the entrepreneurial mindset. Learn more about this year鈥檚 Deming Ambassadors!
