The Hudgins Transitional Entrepreneurship Lab designs, manages, and implements internships for our undergraduate and graduate students. These internships have a twofold purpose:
- Our lab faculty structure internships that provide students with both real-world exposure in assisting and advising our affiliated transitional entrepreneur mentees combined with the latest learning outcomes from entrepreneurship pedagogy and research.
- Our internships offer value to our affiliated transitional entrepreneurs and their ventures by gaining access to carefully vetted and selected students that can offer them free-to-receive help (students receive stipends and financial support from us).
