When the question of "who can do this?" arises, a determined entrepreneur's answer is "I will." Appalachian State's Center for Entrepreneurship seeks out "I will" entrepreneurs:

  • students and faculty who want to turn their ideas into successful enterprises
  • startups looking for resources and assistance
  • successful entrepreneurs who want to share their experience and knowledge.

"Because of Appalachian State’s opportunities in entrepreneurship, I bypassed the usual corporate route and actually graduated with my own business."
