By using Slate, I engaged in the tasks of planning the visits and helping the families with any question had they call the college.

CURI Research Assistant, St Olaf College, Northfield, MN

During the summer of 2019, I was excited to research the question of entrepreneurial education under the supervision of Sian Christie.

Some of the most important takeaways were that some pedagogical approaches can enhance students’ entrepreneurial learning and increases their chance to be successful in the future.
