Our programs teach students to recognize problems as opportunities and create valuable solutions. No matter their area of study, students learn to see the world through the lens of entrepreneurship.
How do we do this?
Through Design Thinking, the Business Model Canvas
and real world practice.
BAKER PROGRAMS
At Baker, we offer a wide array of compelling programs to help nurture our students and their ideas, ranging from two-hour dinners to two-month immersion programs. Students who've experienced them often describe them as transformational. Walk in with an idea, and perhaps you'll walk out with an inspiration.
LehighSiliconValley
LehighSiliconValley brings Lehigh undergraduate and graduate students together with alumni in Silicon Valley, the hub of entrepreneurship, for a week-long immersion into new-venture creation. Students are focusing on real companies, real players, and real situations in real time.
EUREKA! Pitch Nights
Through a series of competitions and a final pitch to a board of experts, the EUREKA! program offers a platform for students, faculty and alumni to work creatively toward needed business proposals. The EUREKA! program is open to all Lehigh students, faculty and staff, so long as each team has a student as its primary member.
