About the ELC:
The Entrepreneurship Learning Community (ELC) focuses on developing new and returning students into frame-breaking entrepreneurs who design and create products, services and movements to shape the future. Students who live in the ELC thrive in a diverse, vibrant and friendly neighborhood on the fifth floor of Johnson Hall and can return year after year. They ideate and collaborate in a limited-access "sandbox" lounge, take awesome field trips to meet with alumni, angel investors and entrepreneurs, and take part in pitch competitions. In addition, ELCers take a fantastic 2-credit course each semester (ENT 480) taught by the game-changing alumnus and entrepreneurs Aaron Cohn'10, MS'11. Students also meet weekly with our Entrepreneur in Residence, co-founder of CommuniKey and Key Branding Labs Adam Sabol'12
