From a colorfully painted vintage van frequently seen around campus to black and white photos from Africa, Goshen College students are bringing their entrepreneurial ideas to life with assistance from the Business Department. To encourage students to develop their skills further, the Business Department has awarded entrepreneurship grants to seven student-owned businesses, for a total of $27,500 during this academic year.
Participating in an excavation in the Southwest, trekking through Amazon rainforests in South America and snorkeling through coral reefs in the Florida Keys are just a few of the ways Goshen College students spent their class time during May term.
By next fall, the beginnings of a campus entrepreneurial venture will be fully brewing. In a unique partnership, Goshen College Student Life and Business departments are offering students the opportunity to manage a new coffee bar, the "central focus of the connector" between Yoder, Kratz and Miller residence halls which is currently under construction, according to Bill Born, vice president for student life.
As a new manager or supervisor, you may feel as if you need all the help you can get. Through the Goshen College business department's continuing education program "Developing Supervisory Leadership -- Part II" course, you can learn to cultivate productive relationships with employees while maintaining control of the company's operations.
Are you a newly appointed supervisor, or president of a company who knows of new supervisors, who would benefit from additional management training?
