Innovation and entrepreneurship
Your opportunities in entrepreneurship are endless. You may choose to start your own business, hire employees, and become the engine of our economy. If you don’t want to start something, that’s OK. Use your entrepreneurial skills and join a startup, small business, large corporation, or nonprofit organization. Entrepreneurial students fit in anywhere.
Start Something in the Ivy College of Business
It’s so realistic that you’ll swear you’re running shoulder-to-shoulder with the Cyclone football team. An Ivy College of Business student created a company that uses virtual reality technology to make fans feel like they’re on the field and in the middle of the action. The light cardboard VR headsets are affordable and as simple to use as scanning a QR code.
