Princeton-Jumpstart Lecture Series on Technology Entrepreneurship

Princeton University's Center for Innovation in Engineering Education (CIEE) has partnered with Jumpstart New Jersey Angel Network (Jumpstart) to launch the Princeton-Jumpstart Lecture Series on Technology Entrepreneurship. Princeton highlighted this program in the University publication Leadership in Technology. 2008 2007

This lecture series invites distinguished business leaders to speak to the Princeton University and local business communities in order to promote and nurture entrepreneurship and new venture creation. The lectures are tailored to an audience of new, potential, and seasoned entrepreneurs. Lectures are followed by a reception where students, faculty, entrepreneurs, venture capitalists and angel investors (will) meet informally to discuss ideas and exchange knowledge and advice.

"This lecture series will strengthen connections between students, faculty, entrepreneurs and investors in the region," says Ken Kay, Chairman of Jumpstart. "I hope some potential entrepreneurs will be inspired to pursue their dreams."

About CIEE

The Center for Innovation in Engineering Education (CIEE) is a new academic center within the School of Engineering and Applied Science at Princeton. CIEE was created in February 2005 with the purpose of setting a new standard for engineering education emphasizing interdisciplinary areas, societal context, and leadership.

The center is creating new courses and strengthening existing ones that go beyond purely technical subjects to provide students a broader understanding of the global economic, environmental and cultural forces that shape and are shaped by technology. At the same time, the center is improving students' technical education by exposing them to real engineering projects throughout their four years, through internships, entrepreneurial opportunities and multidisciplinary courses.
