Jim Moran College Student Engagement

Support FSU student entrepreneurs.

Support the Jim Moran College of Entrepreneurship in hosting engagement activities and competitions that provide all FSU student entrepreneurs with opportunities to develop and showcase their business ventures.

The InNOLEvation® Center for Student Engagement empowers FSU students with entrepreneurial opportunities, including incubator programs, microgrants, workshops, competitions, and mentorships. 

Workshops cover key topics such as branding, pricing, taxation, trademarking, and pitching, while competitions like the InNOLEvation® Challenge, the largest New Venture Pitch Competition at FSU, hosted by the Jim Moran College of Entrepreneurship, focuses on identifying problems and potential solutions, building effective teams and precisely defining the assumptions of a new venture, testing those assumptions in the field, and then pivoting (changing) based on the lessons learned.

The fund also facilitates valuable connections through monthly Mentor Nights, where students engage with alumni and industry leaders for real-world insights and networking. Additionally, it supports student organizations such as the Society for Advancement of Management (SAM), Women in Entrepreneurship (WIE), and CEO, fostering collaboration and growth. 

Your support fuels innovative programs and new opportunities, equipping students to thrive in the ever-evolving world of entrepreneurship. Together, we can inspire innovation, foster connections, and create lasting impact.
