NACCE BREAKING NEWS
NACCE is getting the word out about entrepreneurship
to the entrepreneurial and higher education communities
by making the news in two major media outlets.
Entrepreneur.com and the official website of the ACCT
each ran feature articles about entrepreneurship authored
by NACCE officials and members. In October, Entrepreneur.com ran a feature article
entitled, “Community Colleges and the Creation of Entrepreneurial Ecosystems,”
which focused on the role community colleges play in advancing entrepreneurship in
their communities by providing access points to local startups and small businesses. Rebecca Corbin (above, left), NACCE president and CEO,
and Amy Schulz (above, right), dean, Career, Continuing and Technical Education at Sierra College in Rocklin, California, co-authored the
article. https://www.entrepreneur.com:article:300894
“Partner with local nonprofits, businesses, and policymakers
to map out your local entrepreneurial ecosystem.”
ACCT’s website recently featured Rebecca Corbin’s blog, “Rural College Leaders Embrace Entrepreneurial Practices.” The blog highlights
actions by rural community college leaders who are adopting entrepreneurial practices to spur innovation and focuses on the work NACCE
is doing in the Appalachian region to help communities build entrepreneurial ecosystems. http://perspectives.acct.org/stories/rural-college-
