Cases in Entrepreneurship
Through the Entrepreneurs-in-Residence program, the LRI brings successful entrepreneurs into the classroom to teach cases on their own experiences. The entrepreneurs come from a variety of industries and include local, national, and international participants in the business world.

Students work on a project supervised by one of the entrepreneurs-in-residence.
