The Principia College Center for Entrepreneurship and Innovation—Principia’s newest institute—seeks to promote and inspire entrepreneurial spirit on campus. Its multidisciplinary approach encourages collaboration and creativity. Through the center, you can join start-up challenges, attend talks by renowned entrepreneurs, and participate in workshops covering design thinking, prototyping, business planning, launching, and obtaining financial grants. The center is supported by Don (US'64, C'68) and Christina (C'66) Koch and by the College’s 50th Reunion Classes of 1966 and 1967.
