Wesleyan Entrepreneurship Society

The Wesleyan Entrepreneurship Society was forged in 2012 to ignite the entrepreneurial spirit at Wesleyan by providing its members the necessary skills, resources and support to ideate, innovate, and change the world. The society aims to become the place for students who share a common interest in generating change and/or honing their entrepreneurial skills to congregate on-campus through weekly lecture series and hands-on workshops. 

NOTE: As of Fall 2016 Kai has absorbed the society. 

Stay current with all that's happening with Kai Entrepreneurship Wesleyan. We have events and programs all year long (including summer and breaks) that engage Wesleyan students, alumni, and friends in tech and entrepreneurship.
