Editor’ s Note
WINTER / SPRING 2018
Welcome to 2018’ s first issue of Community College Entrepreneurship. It’ s bursting at the seams with news about the importance of community engagement, how one community college is building an empire through skilled trades, and how recent focus groups are helping to shape NACCE’ s strategic direction.
Articles offer practical tips for launching an entrepreneurial space at your college and building an entrepreneurial mindset into your curriculum. Other features offer a look at how entrepreneurship is thriving in one community college neighborhood and how NACCE, ARC and EntreEd are helping rural community colleges make a difference in their communities through entrepreneurship. We also report on China’ s higher education officials’ deep dive into infusing entrepreneurship education in their institutions of higher learning, and how Chinese students at Bellevue University are tapping into entrepreneurship through an innovative new program.
A new feature,“ What Are You Reading?” highlights what NACCE members are reading to keep up with the latest entrepreneurial trends and developments. As always, we welcome your ideas and articles. If you’ d like to submit an article, please send it to editor @ nacce. com.

FOR INFORMATION Community College Entrepreneurship is published quarterly as a member benefit by the National Association for Community College Entrepreneurship. Articles from members may be submitted via e-mail to editor @ nacce. com. Author Guidelines, archived issues and advertising rates for Community College Entrepreneurship are available at www. nacce. com.
NACCE serves two audiences: college administrators and faculty members. In recognition of this, we feature icons for each audience that will help steer readers towards news articles that should be of special interest to them. Of course, some articles contain content that is of interest to both groups, so they will feature both icons.
