Director of the Center for Free Enterprise and Entrepreneurship

Entrepreneur-in-Residence

Heacock

I focus on what I call "maturing a student's perspective of the world". Research shows us that most entrepreneurs first achieve success in their thirties. This comes after they have tried and failed multiple times in business. In the Entrepreneurship Minor, I focus on introducing unique products and problems that broaden a student's understanding of the world to shorten this runway. If we can get students to start higher probability startups by expanding their perspective, then hopefully they can find success more quickly.
