Being entrepreneurial is in Bobcats' DNA. Whether you've started something, been a creative problem solver, an innovator in an established organization, or a social change maker, YOU ARE AN ENTREPRENEUR! We're calling all Bobcats to share their entrepreneurial story in this signature Global Entrepreneurship Week activity: I am an Entrepreneur!

The I am an Entrepreneur campaign aims to celebrate and recognize the talent, creativity, and passion in OHIO's entrepreneurial community, and provide YOU the platform to share your story — which could be featured on OHIO social media throughout GEW and potentially nationally, through the Global Entrepreneurship Network!

Students who share their video on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, or TikTok between November 8–12, tag the official Ohio University account and Center for Entrepreneurship (not applicable for TikTok) and use hashtag #GEW2021 will be entered for a chance to win one of two $500 scholarships!

After each drop-in session, we’ll randomly select a participant for one of our prize giveaways! Or you can record yourself and submit your video before November 8.
