The Academy Affiliates is a network of faculty and community members from diverse disciplines who want to foster the study and growth of entrepreneurship. These members have the opportunity to share their experiences in entrepreneurial research, teaching, and public engagement, while serving as advocates for Academy initiatives. Affiliates provide a critical link between the Academy and a diverse array of academic units on campus. Working together fosters coordination and co-sponsorship of conferences and seminars, as well as entrepreneurial curriculum advising.
