Consulting Services

The Center for Entrepreneurship Studies provides the following consulting and advising services for BSU students, faculty and local entrepreneurs:

• Entrepreneur-in-Residence (E-i-R) Program - CES recruits a successful entrepreneur each year to spend time on campus, allowing students and faculty to benefit from his/her experiences and expertise. The Entrepreneur in Residence will make visits to classes, conduct school-wide presentations, advise faculty on their efforts to develop and conduct workshops, as well as other entrepreneurial-related activities and advise students interested in creating their own business. The E-i-R mentors participants in our Business Plan Competition. The Entrepreneur-in-Residence for 2012 is Mr. Norman Brust.

• Small Business Development Center - CES has a partnership with the Massachusetts Small Business Development Center. The MSBDC has representatives on campus the second Thursday each month.
