The Collegiate Entrepreneurs’ Organization:

Entrepreneurship and new venture creation are the keys to a healthy economy. In today’s world, the next generation of the best and brightest entrepreneurial minds are developing ideas on university and college campuses, and this is where CEO comes in.

The Collegiate Entrepreneurs’ OrganizationSM (CEO) is the premier entrepreneurship network with chapters on over 240 university campuses across North America. With a diverse global network, CEO informs, supports and inspires college students to be entrepreneurial and seek opportunity through enterprise creation.

Partnerships:

The Center for Entrepreneurship & Innovation (CEI) is our local advisory organization. CEI exists to champion and catalyze the vocation of entrepreneurship. To accomplish this mission, CEI practices two objectives: talent development and the support for businesses. CEI hosts The GVSU Business Plan Competition while also supporting additional collegiate competitions like the Idea Pitch Competitionwww.gvsu.edu.cei

The Student Enterprise Association (SEA) is our partnering student organization. SEA started as a way to fill the need of non-business students who had been trained how to create but not what to do with that creation. Throughout the year SEA and CEO will meet for the Impact Coalition. The Impact Coalition is a series of monthly meetings designed to catalyze student-run businesses. Check out our calendar for the dates of these meetings. www.seagv.com
