Engineering professor Kash Gokli has been named Harvey Mudd College\u2019s inaugural director of entrepreneurship initiatives. In this new role, Gokli will strengthen and expand the College\u2019s entrepreneurial education offerings and activities.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is an exciting opportunity,\u201d said Gokli, Oliver C. Field Professor of Manufacturing Practice and Engineering Economics. \u201cThere are a lot of initiatives already happening at Harvey Mudd, and now we can bring it all under one umbrella and add more, to create a truly impactful entrepreneurship program. It’s not a question of whether we will be successful or not, it’s a question of how far we can take it.\u201d<\/p>\n
Gokli will collaborate with a multi-constituency working group on entrepreneurship co-chaired by trustees Sergio Monsalve P25 and Bob Hulse \u201996\/97 and faculty members Albert Dato and Darryl Yong \u201996, to design and support a set of curricular and co-curricular activities that will nurture Mudd\u2019s next generation of entrepreneurs. Gokli will build upon the substantial legacy of Gary Evans, professor of economics emeritus, and the ongoing efforts of the Harvey Mudd College Entrepreneurial Network.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe want to provide opportunities to students from their first year through the fourth, so they can learn and grow and become entrepreneurs,\u201d Gokli said. \u201cStarting with seminars, workshops, events, summer fellowships and eventually coursework, we hope to provide education, practical experience, networking and funding opportunities.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cEntrepreneurship education is not only for those students who want to start their own companies,\u201d said Gokli, \u201cbut also for students who want to join an already established \u00a0\u00a0company or become social entrepreneurs to impact society. Entrepreneurial skills and an entrepreneurial spirit can benefit students in all career paths.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
