Center for Innovation & Entrepreneurship
Entrepreneurship is a dynamic union of innovation and opportunity, passion and vision, risk and reward.
Lavin Entrepreneurial Action Program prepares a select group of entering University of Washington undergraduate students, of all majors, for entrepreneurial careers. The program works with students with a passion for entrepreneurship from all disciplines to expose them to the risks and rewards of entrepreneurship - all in a safe environment. Students will graduate with a comprehensive understanding of entrepreneurship in its various forms, including experience in starting and running their own company, and a summer internship in an early-stage firm. The Lavin Program integrates students into the local entrepreneurial community by providing networking opportunities and experienced mentors.
By combining entrepreneurship courses with opportunities for practical experience, Lavin students will have the experience, skills, knowledge and network that will be the foundation for their future business ventures - whether at their own start-up or within a larger, established firm.
CIE accepts up to 20 students into the Lavin Program each year from all disciplines.
