The Entrepreneurial Center for Innovation and Social Impact

The Entrepreneurial Center for Innovation and Social Impact, developed in accordance with our Lasallian values, encourages students to be creative in thinking and bold in action. It is a four-year, cross-curricular learning experience unlike anything students will encounter in a traditional classroom. 
Throughout their involvement in the program, students focus on the importance of social responsibility and come to understand their role in creating a positive impact, both within their communities and beyond.
