Entrepreneurs in Residence Program Continues to Grow


The Entrepreneurs in Residence (EinR) program at the Pillsbury Institute continues to be in high demand by students at SHA and across campus. This academic year we expanded the program and doubled the number of EinRs. In addition, we now utilize an online signup system to allow for easier appointment scheduling, which helped make for an extremely successful fall semester.
