Case Study in Black Entrepreneurship: The Entrepreneur is the Business. Thu 7p-9:30p  Copyright © 2006, Drew University |
Program Background
The Ellen and William M. Freeman Seminar in African-American Studies is offered annually through a generous donation from Ellen and William M. Freeman. The Freeman Seminars offer visiting or adjunct lecturers or professors in African-American/African Studies the opportunity to teach at least one course in a college discipline or department as deemed by the director of African-American/African studies. In the Fall Semester 2002, the African-American/African Studies Faculty committee decided that the Freeman seminars would offer Drew students an experiential learning experience. This particular seminar is for students interested in experiential learning opportunities within an academic setting. It focuses on case studies of Black Entrepreneurship in the United States and provides direct access to outstanding African-American entrepreneurs engaged in diverse areas of business. The ultimate goal of this seminar is to enable students to draw directly from highly experienced individuals valuable lessons that are applicable to their own lives, whatever their career choices may be. Students will be challenged to fully participate, to analyze the information they receive from guest entrepreneurs, to question that information, to explore other entrepreneurial experiences beyond those presented in the seminar, and to draw conclusions that may be applied to their own professional aspirations. Consistent participation and attendance are mandatory for this experiential learning opportunity and comprise a major component of the grade for the course.
