It cannot be simply a vocation or an opportunity that is limited to those with personal connections. As a community, we all are impacted by entrepreneurship. Harvey Mudd College is committed to confronting the endemic inequities that limit opportunities and hamper inclusive participation. Only then can the College ensure that the future engines of technological and human innovation will be available to everyone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Narrowly defined, entrepreneurship involves&nbsp;setting up a business and taking on the financial risks in the pursuit&nbsp;of profit.
