Accountabilities:
The Entrepreneur in Residence is responsible for the TIA Incubator and Summer Accelerator: recruiting and engaging students to participate in TIA programs; recruiting, training, and engaging alumni mentors to provide advice and expertise for student entrepreneurs; evolve, develop, and lead program content, coordinating active-learning and experiential workshops for student entrepreneurs at all stages; providing advice and direction to entrepreneurial teams (and their mentors), particularly as they encounter obstacles or thorny challenges; identifying and implementing improvements to these programs that enhance the experiences of student and mentor participants and drive additional positive outcomes.
Another significant dimension of the position is to develop and program the annual spring showcase for entrepreneurship at Colgate. Established in 2012, the TIA Entrepreneur Showcase serves as the culminating event for the TIA Incubator and a showcase of entrepreneurship on campus. Taking place during Arts, Creativity, and Innovation Weekend and coinciding with the Alumni Council's spring meeting, the event features exceptional ventures from the TIA Incubator and inspirational speakers from the alumni community and beyond. For students in the TIA Incubator, this event provides a clear goalpost for their experience in the Incubator, with specific deliverables and deadlines. The EIR will be responsible — with the support of others in the Office of Entrepreneurship and Innovation, the Office of University Events, and colleagues in the Division of Advancement — for putting together an annual event that features newsworthy students and speakers; draws alumni, parents, and outsiders to campus; and provides a reputational boost to the University.
The Entrepreneur in Residence serves not only as a resource to student, faculty, staff, and community entrepreneurs, but also as the leader for the Colgate alumni, parents, and friends who have successfully built and grown early-stage ventures across a wide range of industries and who volunteer their time and talent in mentoring Colgate entrepreneurs.
Success in the role will be measured by the overall satisfaction, enthusiasm, and loyalty of students participating in TIA programs and the quality of the annual pitch competition and venture showcase.
