For those that follow the Knox County, IL CEO Program, you will be interested to know there is a University that offers an almost identical Program for those Entrepreneurial minded students that are passionate about continuing their education and developing businesses.
We had the pleasure of having Jeremiah Barker, Grand Canyon University Admissions Counselor, share the GCU story and how their Jerry Colangelo School of Business fits perfectly with CEO students.
They have an Idea Club where students pitch ideas to their peers, the Canyon Ventures Club that connects students with startup companies that hire GCU students, and when a GCU student invents a new product, they have access to all of the schools (such as the Engineering School) on campus to help develop the product. GCU believes in their “product” enough to offer every student that applies and gets accepted, an all expenses paid 3 day visit to campus!
Amazing opportunities out there for our CEOs and we love making connections with quality people and higher education.
Thanks Jeremiah and GCU, Go Lopes!
