Santa Clara University • Santa Clara, CA

3d • Hybrid

About The Position

The Entrepreneurial Mindset Initiative (EMI) is operationalizing the spread and development of the entrepreneurial mindset in the SCU community. Our mission and vision are achieved through the Entrepreneurial Mindset Initiative, which is a suite of programs and tools to make Santa Clara University the knowledge hub for all things related to entrepreneurship. When we refer to the entrepreneurial mindset at Santa Clara University, we do not mean starting a business venture. Although starting a business venture requires an entrepreneurial mindset, the mindset is useful for so much more than that. The key elements of the entrepreneurial mindset include: (1) Empathy for customers, stakeholders and audience; (2) Naturally viewing problems as opportunities; (3) Willingness and ability to tolerate risk; and (4) Championing long-term value creation. This mindset is equally useful in big companies and small; in navigating family challenges and personal development; in working with people in our community and across the world, and more.
