It's About Entrepreneurial Thinking
At the Entrepreneurship Hub, our mission is to educate, inspire, and support people in developing and applying entrepreneurial skills and mindsets. We envision a William & Mary community recognized for its entrepreneurial thinkers who tackle meaningful opportunities and address challenges of consequence.
Entrepreneurial thinking combines skills and mindsets to navigate challenges and create impact. Our skills, spotting opportunities, failing wisely, improvising, and collaborating equip individuals to take action effectively. Paired with mindsets like openness to risk, tolerance for ambiguity, grit, and self-direction, these attributes empower entrepreneurial thinkers to innovate, adapt, and lead in solving complex problems.
