Center Overview

Community Engagement Hub

DCE, in partnership with Economic Impact Catalyst, is also proud to offer students a Community Engagement Hub supporting the needs of entrepreneurs through a robust Mentor network. This dedicated portal serves as the nexus between company founders and Mentors, offering algorithmic matching by industry, expertise area, and founder company status. We strive for good, though not perfect, matches between Mentors and Mentees.

Students can also benefit from this hub by partnering with Mentors who specifically want to work with future and budding entrepreneurs who’ve yet to complete their formal education. If you are interested in learning more about entrepreneurship, Apply to the Community Engagement Hub.
