  • Interested in Entrepreneurship? Speaker Series

    The Global Entrepreneurship Speaker Series (GESS) is offered only during the fall semesters. These seminars afford students the opportunity to earn a Professional Development Certificate from the School of Business while learning from international entrepreneurial leaders. It is a great resume builder and gives you a chance to learn what inspires, motivates, challenges and ultimately helps entrepreneurs succeed in the global economy.

    The speaker series is sponsored by:

    • School of Business Undergrad Programs
    • GE Global Learning Center
    • Werth Center for Innovation and Entrepreneurship
    • OPIM Innovate Lab
    • International Business Association

    This certificate is available to all graduate and undergraduate UConn students. Students may earn a certificate every fall semester. It is achieved by attending at least 3 out of 4+ GESS lectures offered during the same fall semester. Attendance/ID swipe will occur at each event.
