MTSU hosting National Entrepreneurship Week

By Kleinheider Posted on February 23, 2009 at 2:03 pm

From the campus paper:

Business owners from across Middle Tennessee are scheduled to speak at MTSU this week as the university hosts National Entrepreneurship Week.

“We hope to extend the concept of owning your own business out to other majors,” said Rachel Wilson, an MTSU entrepreneurship professor involved in organizing the event.

NEW will begin today at 9:10 a.m. with a lecture by Jenny Piper, owner of Pied Piper Creamery in Nashville, as she presents a speech entitled “Building a Business by Doing What You Love.” Free ice cream will be offered before the speech, which will take place in the Business and Aerospace Building room S130A.
