Welcome to the new
Entrepreneurs Hall @ the RIT Global Village webpage


The RIT Entrepreneurs Hall is a new-to-the-world holistic entrepreneurship program that combines a residential community in the RIT Global Village, cohort entrepreneurship courses, mentoring, unique entrepreneurial coops, business mentoring, and 24/7 access to the student incubator.  Students completing the program will receive a minor in entrepreneurship and have the opportunity to gain course credit for maturing a business concept.

The program will include a roughly equal mix of technology, creative, and business students.  This will allow students to develop effective teams to mature new businesses and commercialize technology concepts. As student projects mature, they will be assigned an alumni/business mentor to assist them with their projects.
