About Bulls’ New Frontier of Entrepreneurship

Posted By: admin on 08/28/2009 in Blog posts - Comments: Comments Off

Bulls’ New Frontier of Entrepreneurship (BNFE) is a student organization that grew out of the Entrepreneurship master’s program at USF’s College of Business.  It club is directly affiliated with Center for Entrepreneurship
here at the University of South Florida.  As an organization, we want to bridge the gap between theory and practice. Much of our education is theory; we want to help students put it into practice.  

Through our club functions and events, we intend to help our students or entrepreneurs with building business connections, and mentoring relationships with other successful business leaders.  By providing these networking opportunities, we hope our entrepreneurs will gain valuable advice, information, and support from other established business owners and executives.   

In turn, our executives can potentially the next new innovation to fund, or have an excellent resource to recruit creative and well-educated job candidates. We also hope that these additional educational and networking opportunities lend to better business decisions and more successful start-ups.  

Additionally, we will continue to provide educational workshops, conferences, or speaking engagements to supplement our master’s degree program. We will also participate in national competitions, student initiatives, or other area programs to promote our club while giving back to our community with valuable knowledge and research.
