Kabara Institute events aim to help students define entrepreneurship and teach them how to apply the desired knowledge in their own lives.
Institute events are opportunities for business students, as well as non-business students, to engage in innovative learning, creativity, leadership and to interact with successful entrepreneurs. Institute events facilitate opportunities for students to expand entrepreneurial conversations outside of the classroom, network with professionals, and better understand business leadership through the lens of business ethics.
For more information about Kabara Institute events, please contact Dr. Thomas Marpe at (507) 457-6963or tmarpe@smumn.edu.
