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 .
